Greece (Greece) (search for this): book 10, chapter 10
Pythagoras called the principles he taught
philosophia or love of wisdom, but not sophia or wisdom. For he
criticized the Seven Wise Men, as they were called, who lived before his time, saying that no
man is wise, being human, and many a time, by reason of the weakness of his nature, has not the
strength to bring all matters to a successful issue, but that he who emulates both the ways and
the manner of life of a wise man may more fittingly be called a "lover of wisdom." Although both Pythagoras himself and the
Pythagoreans after his time made such advancement and were cause of so great blessings to the
states of Greece, yet they did not escape the envy
which besmirches all noble things. Indeed there is no noble thing among men, I suppose, which
is of such a nature that the long passage of time works it no damage or destruction.Const. Exc. 4, p. 296.
