Pythagoras, being asked if he called himself a wise man, denied himself that name, and said that he was not wise, but (only) a "lover of wisdom."  And then it happened afterwards that all students of wisdom were called lovers of wisdom, that is, philosophers; for philo and sophia in Greek are equivalent to love and wisdom. Whence we may see that those two words make up the name philosopher, that is to say lover of wisdom; which we may observe is not a term of arrogance, but of humility.                                                                           Dante
