Socrates' quote of the day, "If you wish to be loved, you must first show yourself worthy of love by performing deeds of true goodness," offers a simple lesson about love, kindness and character. The ancient Greek philosopher suggests that people should not only expect affection and respect from others but also show through their actions that they are worthy of it. The quote also reflects Socrates' wider interest in virtue, morality and the question of how a person should live a good life.
