Σαυτὸν γνοὺς καὶ πάντα γνώσει τὰ τῶν θεῶν τε καὶ τοῦ κόσμου μυστήρια.

Your post, together with this reply, will probably be transferred to the proper forum (English → Ancient Greek).

Thank you for the help. Did not notice there was an Ancient Greek forum so I apologize for the incorrect listing.

In regards to this translation, can I get some background information please? I have heard this saying numerous times and am wondering about the origins of it.
Thanks

Look up Multiple Greek, Ancient Greek and Latin dictionaries — Οὕτω τι βαθὺ καὶ μυστηριῶδες ἡ σιγὴ καὶ νηφάλιον, ἡ δὲ μέθη λάλον· ἄνουν γὰρ καὶ ὀλιγόφρον, διὰ τοῦτο καὶ πολύφωνον (Plutarch)
