I agree with you. Starting with "know thyself"... but now we get into Greek,
gnothi seauton (Greek): Know thyself. (The precept inscribed in gold letters over the portico of the temple at Delphi.)

And truth [knowledge, after all] shall set you free. (John 8:32...) (Aunque, leer la Biblia no es muy bueno para la vista... sí tiene puntos que si los pusiéramos en práctica, otro gallo nos cataría...)

It's great to read you again. I'm officially on holiday now... but cannot sleep...

Well, happy for you. They say counting 'sheep' is effective... I believe reading Leo Tolstoy may be enough 'tostón' to help you go to sleep... but the most effective method is to read a good pair or tree of Fairy Tales... and that does the trick...
(Talking about tricks, which is after all the title of this thread!)
Good to see you around the forums!
(And I realized I left a typo in my previous post, 'cataría' instead of 'cantaría'. (Bad example for the kids reading these posts... I apologize... or apologise, rather!)
