No one desires evil.

Socrates believed all wrongdoing is a result of ignorance, and thus, no person willingly pursues evil but rather mistakes it for good.

Virtue is knowledge.

Socrates held that knowledge and virtue are intrinsically linked, positing that if one truly knows what is right, one will necessarily do it.

I know that I know nothing.

This statement, known as the Socratic Paradox, implies a recognition of one's own ignorance and the virtue of seeking knowledge.

The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing.

This statement emphasizes the value of intellectual humility and the endless journey of acquiring knowledge.

No one errs or does wrong willingly or knowingly.

This elucidates Socrates' belief in the inherent desire for good in humans and mistakes in judgment due to ignorance, not willful misconduct.
