Socrates argued that knowledge is virtue and that vice is ignorance. Do you agree or disagree with Socrates?

According to Socrates, virtue is knowledge, because (1) All living things aim for their perceived good; and therefore (2) If anyone does not know what is good, he cannot do what is good because he will always aim for a mistaken target; but (3) If someone knows what is good, he will do what is good, because he will aim for what is good.

I do agree with Socrates, but that's in my opinion.
