"The ancients, who unanimously glorified the sage capable of changing even the motion of the planets, did not refer to the stars, because in the eternal ones change is impossible, but to the sage himself; he is constantly matching his pace with himself.

""Anticii, care proslăveau în unanimitate pe înțeleptul capabil să schimbe chiar și mișcarea planetelor, nu se refereau la stele, fiindcă în cele veșnice schimbarea e imposibilă, ci la înțeleptul însuși; el își potrivește în permanență pasul cu sine însuși."
