I was just watching a documentary and I heard the following quote was apparently the inscription at the Temple of Delphi: 'Man, know thyself and thou shalt know the universe and its gods'. I've always heard 'Know thyself' and thought it just meant understand who you are and your capabilities etc. Is this the actual quote and does it actually have something to do with man being a reflection (microcosm) of the universe (macrocosm) and/or his place in it. Any information you could give me would be much appreciated!
Cheers,

Thanks for your guidance tnatcelfeR-fleS. I didn't think to use Wikipedia and this is an excellent place to start.
Cheers,
