Mainly from his protegee Plato.
Their life was simple. Plato always understood his master. He did his master's comands also.
The first step to wisdom is realizing how much you dont know
In order to apply the ideas and philosophical concepts Socrates introduced, one must first know what they are. Secondly, the individual should learn and study these concepts and consider their relativity to modern society. Third, one must then practice their application at appropriate times. Eventually, it will become easier and more natural to apply Socrates' philosophies. Although not necessary, further reading into Plato's (his student) works, as well as Plato's pupil (Aristotle) can help better understand Socrates' original conceptions and postulates.
He is mainly known for his self-knowing motto "Know thyself" (Gr. Γνώθι σε εαυτόν). Only if you know your self can you be a true philosopher. Socrates was the first to bring philosophy's focus on human rather than the exploration of "metaphysical truths". And this is what we need most today...
they are socrates, Plato and Aristotle
"As for me, all I know is that I know nothing."

Socrates encouraged people to know thyself
Thats what Socrates said
Socrates
Socrates' credo was "Know thyself." He believed that self-knowledge was the key to wisdom and understanding one's place in the world. By questioning his own beliefs and encouraging others to do the same, Socrates sought to uncover deeper truths about life and morality.
At his trial in 399 BC, Socrates stated that he was not afraid of death because he did not know what it truly meant. He also argued that the pursuit of wisdom and the improvement of one's soul should be the highest priorities in life. Socrates famously stated that "the unexamined life is not worth living."
Know you, yourself
Socrates defined wisdom as knowing that you do not know everything.
Socrates believed that self-knowledge was essential for living a good life. He famously said, "Know thyself," emphasizing the importance of understanding oneself in order to make wise decisions and lead a fulfilling life.
Socrates lived in ancient Greece around the 5th century BCE. He was known for his philosophical teachings and his Socratic method of questioning. Socrates did not write any of his ideas down, so most of what we know about him comes from the writings of his students, like Plato. He was sentenced to death by drinking poison hemlock for questioning the beliefs and values of Athenian society.
