About this quote
Written by Dan Millman in his 1980 novel Way of the Peaceful Warrior, spoken by a fictional character nicknamed "Socrates" — a gas station attendant who serves as the narrator's spiritual mentor. The character was inspired by but is not the historical Socrates. The quote is frequently misattributed to the ancient philosopher due to the shared name.
