Not a Socrates or any philosophy quote
Unfortunately this is a misattributed quote. While most of what Socrates said is due to recollection of Plato, this was not one of them. While I love the quote, unfortunately it is not ancient philosophic wisdom. I hope in the future important philosophic attributes are made correct.<br /><br />“The earliest known usage of this phrase comes from The Church Missionary Review, volume 53, page 811, dated to 1902. Here is the full passage:<br /><br />“Let me give you two words of warning from my own experience. The one is—Beware of the barrenness of a busy life! And the other is—Beware of the words which break the bond of fellowship with those with whom you work! Beware of the barrenness of a busy life! Beware of the words which break the bond of fellowship with those with whom you work!”
