... Of course in Socrates' time that pretty much meant you were a citizen of the Mediterranean area

[Bananiot]

Wow Oracle, you choose the geographical aspect of the saying rather than the phylosophical one.

Nihao Oracle,

I was fascinated by the statement and I googled it.

it came back with "I am a citizen of the world."
Diogenes 4th Century B.C.

But you said Socrates said it.

Can you please explain this to me as it is a fascinating statement.

Well you did use it as an answer to a geographical question.

What! .... do you think you transcend the ordinary?

If I asked you what 2 plus 2 equaled would pears or pairs be a mathematical answer or a "philosophical" answer?

[Bananiot]

Wrong answer Oracle, you see the finger, not the moon.

[Bananiot]

How many PM's have you sent to the obsessed one?

Hello Huang

I've always known it as Socrates (my mother has used it a few times) and I have never questioned it, so now I had to Google it to check .... (Diogenes was the one who carried a lamp in order to spot the one honest man .. I have a little statue of him with his lamp and his dog ).

Sorry it's a Greek / Cypriot thing to spew these things without checking ... but Googling came up with this ...

So I guess it was Socrates.

Edit:
(I've just spotted a mistake on that ref. It should say 2,400 years ago.)

I'll Google some more.
