̓Αρχὰ καὶ αἰτία καὶ κανών ἐντὶ τᾶς ἀνθρωπίνας εὐδαιμοσύνας ὁ τῶν θείων καὶ τιμιωτάτων ἐπίγνωσις. THEAGES PYTHAG.

"The knowledge of things divine and most honourable, is the principle, cause, and rule of human felicity."

He who has not even a knowledge of common things is a brute among men. He who has an accurate knowledge of human concerns alone, is a man among brutes. But he who knows all that can be known by intellectual energy, is a God among men.
