Here's one that relates to your Socrates reference -- "true knowledge exists in knowing that you know nothing".

It's a Charlie Rose segment where Jim Collins is discussing his book "How the Mighty Fall" (http://www.charlierose.com/view/interview/10565). He talks about the five stages of decline in any great enterprise. Stage 1 is hubris -- thinking you know it all.



Great little epistemological thread.
