"It is worse for a man to do wrong than to suffer wrong" is a statement by .......................

  • A.Socrates
  • B.Plato
  • C.Aristotle
  • D.Anselm

Answer: A

The statement is by Socrates.

In Plato's Gorgias, Socrates argues against Polus that doing injustice is worse than suffering it, because the wrongdoer harms his own soul, and that a wrongdoer is better off punished than unpunished.

Plato wrote the dialogue, but the claim is put in Socrates' mouth and is counted as a Socratic thesis. Aristotle and Anselm are not associated with it.
