The ancients summed up the whole of human wisdom in the maxim, Know Thyself, and certainly there is for an individual no more important as there is no more difficult knowledge, than knowledge of themselves, whence they come, whither they go, what they are, what they are for, what they can do, what they ought to do, and what are their means of doing it.
