The above words are 'Know Thyself'
in ancient greek, and are one aphorism
among about 140 which have survived
the centuries from the the oracle
at Delphi, in Ancient Greece.
This is where rulers and military leaders,
all of them men, asked questions
about what they should do to rule well
of the prophetesses who resided in that place.
It is typical that men with doubts
will treasure certainty-but be the last
to recognise where certainty should start
-with wise, quiet and very distant women.
