Knowledge. Knowledge is the food of the soul; and we must take care, that the Sophist does not deceive us when he praises what he sells, like the dealers who sell the food for the body; for they praise indiscriminately all their goods, without knowing what are really beneficial or hurtful: neither do their customers know, with the exception of any trainer or physician who may happen to buy of them. — Protagoras, 313.
