Nosce te ipsum

Posted: July 13, 2006 in Thoughts

What’s nosce te ipsum then eh?

Nosce te ipsum is the latin translation of γνώθι σεαυτόν or gnothi seauton. It was inscribed above the entrance to the Temple of Apollo at Delphi.

And how about post proelium praemium?
This one kind of comes after the first one. It means ‘After the battle, the reward’

What I’m trying to do with my life is more or less Nosce te ipsum, and I’m hopeing that post proelium praemium! :) Wish me luck!
