ὀρθῶς ἐστι τέλος; ἀφροσύνην ἑαυτοῦ καὶ παντὸς τοῦ γενητοῦ καταψηφίσασθαι· τὸ γὰρ μηδὲν οἴεσθαι εἰδέναι πέρας ἐπιστήμης, ἑνὸς ὄντος μόνου σοφοῦ τοῦ καὶ μόνου θεοῦ.

[134] For is not this the crown and the prize of victory not to miss the proposed end of one’s labours, but to arrive at that goal of prudence which is so difficult to be reached? What, then, is the object of having right wisdom? To be able to condemn one’s own folly and that of every created being. For to be aware that one knows nothing is the end of all knowledge, since there is only one wise being, who is also the only God.
