Always, always read the caption.

Now, if that Socrates quote speaks to you, I have some bad news. While a Socrates may have said it, it’s not the Greek guy you’re thinking about.

The Socrates who said the thing Lochte is channeling is a character in Dan Millman’s book, Way Of The Peaceful Warrior: A Book That Changes Lives.

Lochte’s fondness for the quote puts him in elite company. Ivanka Trump took multiple cracks at a similar message back in August.
