yes.....wisdom shared for ages...we still apply their thoughts, and knowledge...so yep, they are still good.
Of all our possessions, wisdom alone is imortal.
—Isocrates
All men by nature desire to know.
—Aristotle
Metaphysics, 350 B.C.
Happiness is the highest good, being a realization and perfect practice of virtue, which some can attain, while others have little or none of it...
—Aristotle
Politics, 350 B.C.
“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence (aka Areté) then, is not an act, but a habit.”
~ Aristotle
4th century bce Greek philosopher
Truthfulness. He will never willingly tolerate an untruth, but will hate it as much as he loves truth... And is there anything more closely connected with wisdom than truth? (Plato, 380BC)
Chance has little effect upon the wise man, for his greatest and highest interests are directed by reason throughout the course of life.
Epicurus

The best.
The questions of Socrates, told through Plato, are still being discussed today. Aristotle's understanding of ethics and human nature still control our perception of the world.
One could even say the humanities are 2,500 years behind.
