Bias

Bias, of Priene, near Miletus in Ionia, who lived about 550 B.C., was one of the traditional Seven Sages of ancient Greece. Many aphorisms are attributed to him - "Power shows the man," "Know and act," and others: but they mostly bear the stamp of a later origin, and many were probably invented to display the independence of worldly goods and cares which after Socrates' time was part of the character of the typical philosopher.
