It takes a wise man to recognize a wise man.

Truly the gods have not from the beginning revealed all things to mortals, but by long seeking, mortals discover what is better.

But as for certain truth no man knows it, nor shall he know it, neither of the Gods nor yet of all things that I speak. For even if by chance he were to utter The Final Truth, he would himself not know it: for all is but a woven web of guesses.

All men begin their learning with Homer.

God is one, supreme among gods and men, and not like mortals in body or in mind.The whole [of god] sees, the whole perceives, the whole hears. But without effort he sets in motion all things by mind and thought.
