•“Wisdom of Socrates, you say Phaedo. I can prove only one man’s wisdom here and that is Caliban’s. I myself know I am not wise, but Chaerephon, rest his soul, asked the god at Delphi who was the wisest man. You all know the answer of the god. Chaerephon was a man of wisdom for both asking the question and for bringing the answer to me. That answer gave feet to my thoughts and direction to my soul. Chaerephon was a Democrat and a wise man. The two are not incompatible.”
