More quotes by Philo

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

He who has God alone for his leader, he alone is free.

He who tries to flee from God takes refuge in himself.

As parents in private life teach wisdom to their children, so do [poets] in public life to their cities.

We have a very clear evidence of freedom in the equality recognized by all the good in addressing each other.
