"I warn you, whoever you are, you, who wish to explore the secrets of nature, that if you do not find within yourself what you are looking for, Neither can you find it outside. If you ignore the excellences of your own house, How do you intend to find other excellences? In you is hidden the Treasure of treasures. Know yourself and you will know the universe and the Gods.
-Oracle of Delphi- Greece, 8th century B.C.E.
