Quod est ante pedes nemo spectat, caeli scrutantur plagas. - "No one regards what is before his feet; everyone gazes at the stars."; Fragment from the lost tragedy Iphigenia. Simia quam similis turpissima bestia nobis! - "The ape, vilest of beasts, how like to us!"; As quoted by Cicero in De Natura Deorum; Book I, Chapter XXXV As quoted by Cicero in De Officiis; Book I, XVI Who kindly shows the way to one lost, Does as he lit another's lamp from his own. No less shines his, when he the other's has lit.
