His face, form and features are to us familiarhis goggle eyes, bald head, snub nose and bow-legs! The habit of his lifehis goings and comings, his arguments and wrangles, his infinite leisure, his sublime patience, his perfect faithall these things are plain, lifting the man out of the commonplace and setting him apart. Socrates was the son of Sophroniscus, a stonecutter, and his wife Phnarete. In boyhood he used to carry dinner to his father, and sitting by, he heard the men, in their free and easy way, discuss the plans of Pericles. These workmen didn't know the plansthey were only privates in the ranks, but they exercised their prerogatives to criticize, and while working to assist, did right royally disparage and condemn. Like sailors who love[Pg 12] their ship, and grumble at grub and grog, yet on shore will allow no word of disparagement to be said, so did these Athenians love their city, and still condemn its rulersthey exercised the laborer's right to damn the man who gives him work. ......Buy Now (To Read More)
