What are some thought-provoking philosophical quotes?

Here are a few:

1. "The unexamined life is not worth living." - Socrates
2. "I think, therefore I am." - René Descartes
3. "To be is to be perceived." - George Berkeley
4. "Man is condemned to be free." - Jean-Paul Sartre Do any of these resonate with you?

I really like the one by Socrates. What does it mean?

Socrates believed that self-reflection and critical thinking are essential for a meaningful life. It suggests that without examining our beliefs and actions, we miss the essence of existence.

Can you give me an example of how to apply that in daily life?

Certainly! You can start by regularly reflecting on your decisions and values. For instance, at the end of each day, ask yourself what you learned, what you could have done differently, and how your actions align with your beliefs.

That makes sense! Are there any other quotes that emphasize self-reflection?

Yes! Another great quote is by Marcus Aurelius: "The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts." It encourages us to be mindful of our inner dialogue and thoughts.
