Delphic Maxims

The Delphic Maxims are a set of ancient Greek sayings or principles attributed to the Oracle of Delphi, historically a key religious site in Greece. These maxims offer ethical guidance and wisdom on how to live a virtuous life. They cover various aspects of human behavior, emphasizing moderation, self-knowledge, and respect for the divine. Notable examples include "Know Thyself" and "Nothing in Excess." These maxims served as moral guidance in ancient Greek society and continue to be regarded as insightful reflections on personal conduct and the pursuit of wisdom.
