THALES OF MILETUS Greek one of Seven Sages, philosopher, astronomer and geometer (c. 640 BC - 546 BC) Conceal thy domestic ills.       - [Secrecy] Hope is the only good which is common to all men; those who have nothing more possess hope still.       - [Hope] Hope is the poor man's bread.       - [Hope] Nothing is more ancient than God, for He was never created; nothing more beautiful than the world, it is the work of that same God; nothing more active than thought, for it flies over the whole universe; nothing stronger than necessity, for all must submit to it.       - [God] Suretyship is the precursor of ruin.       - his motto as inscribed on Temple of Apollo at Delphi         [Mottoes : Proverbs] Take Time by the forelock.       - [Proverbs] The most difficult thing in life is to know yourself.       - [Self-knowledge] The wisest thing is Time, for it brings everything to light.       - in "Thales" by Diogenes Laertius, bk.
