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...)
