A footnote: While I like this quote, it seemed all out of character for something that Socrates would say. In other words, it sounded like a quote from the last 50 years. The Quote Investigator checked into this and found that it was said by the character Socrates in the book "The Way of the Peaceful Warrior" by Dan Millman. The Socrates in the book is in no way related to the Socrates of old.

Plato - Timaeus Full Length Audiobook Video
By: Plato ~ ΠΛΆΤΩΝ
Translated By: Benjamin Jowett
Full Length Audiobook Video
Timaeus Greek Τίμαιος Timaios, pronounced is one of Plato's dialogues, mostly in the form of a long monologue given by the title character Timaeus of Locri, written c. 360 BC. The work puts forward speculation on the nature of the physical world and human beings and is followed by the dialogue Critias.
Participants in the dialogue include Socrates, Timaeus, Hermocrates, and Critias. Some scholars believe that it is not the Critias of the Thirty Tyrants who is appearing in this dialogue, but his grandfather, who is also named Critias. It has been suggested that Timaeus influenced a book about Pythagoras, written by Philolaus.
The dialogue takes place the day after Socrates described his ideal state. In Plato's works such a discussion occurs in the Republic. Socrates feels that his description of the ideal state wasn't sufficient for the purposes of entertainment and that "I would be glad to hear some account of it engaging in transactions with other states".
Hermocrates wishes to oblige Socrates and mentions that Critias knows just the account to do so. Critias proceeds to tell the story of Solon's journey to Egypt where he hears the story of Atlantis, and how Athens used to be an ideal state that subsequently waged war against Atlantis. Critias believes that he is getting ahead of himself, and mentions that Timaeus will tell part of the account from the origin of the universe to man.
Critias also cites the Egyptian priest in Sais about long term factors on the fate of mankind:
"There have been, and will be again, many destructions of mankind arising out of many causes; the greatest have been brought about by the agencies of fire and water, and other lesser ones by innumerable other causes. There is a story that even you [Greeks] have preserved, that once upon a time, Phaethon, the son of Helios, having yoked the steeds in his father's chariot, because he was not able to drive them in the path of his father, burnt up all that was upon the earth, and was himself destroyed by a thunderbolt. Now this has the form of a myth, but really signifies a declination of the bodies moving in the heavens around the earth, and a great conflagration of things upon the earth, which recurs after long intervals.

"Only a self-controlled man, then, will know himself and will be capable of looking to see what he actually knows and what he doesn’t know. By the same token only a self-controlled man will be capable of examining others to see what a person knows and thinks he knows (assuming that he does have knowledge), and whether there are things which he thinks he knows, but doesn’t really. And no one else will be capable of doing this. This is what it is to be self-controlled, what self-control is, and what knowing oneself is: it is knowing what one knows and what one doesn’t know."
