Additional quotes by Philo of Alexandria

Nothing will a man rue more than refusal to listen to the wise.

Can we then hold the poverty-in-wealth of the money-grubbing usurers to be of any account? They may seem to be kings with purses full of gold, but they never even in their dreams have had a glimpse of the wealth that has eyes to see.

But some, making no account of the wealth of nature, pursue the wealth of vain opinions. They choose to lean on one who lacks rather than one who has the gift of sight, and with this defective guidance to their steps must of necessity fall.

A Judge must bear in mind that when he tries a case he is himself on trial. - Philo of Alexandria
