"What do I know?"

As Archelaus, king of Macedonia, was passing in the street, someone poured some water on him. Those with him said he should punish the man. "Yes," he said, "but he did not pour water on me, but on the man he thought I was." Socrates said to the man who informed him that people were speaking ill of him: "Not at all; there is nothing in me of what they say."
