You may want to look up the main translations of noscere (the infinitive of nosce). 'to know' is not the first that comes up, so there is at least a second layer of meaning more akin to 'recognize thyself' as in 'observe thyself honestly' which brings a lot more instructional meaning to the phrase.
This isn't uncommon in latin translations. Likewise 'carpe diem' has two distinct yet proper translations that seem different at first, but are connected on a deeper level of meaning. To spare you from the search queries: carpere can translate to either enjoy or utilize.

How I work and bill:
As an independent designer with no team, this is the budget, timing, and email I use with interested clients. I realized some of you might find this useful and you're welcome to steal it. I'm not great at making money so I can't exactly vouch for this structure, but I will say that this approach is highly streamlined and gives the designer significant agency for decent pay with very few meetings:
Hi everyone,
the brief looked great. [Specific insight and compliment about their product].
I structure both my timing and fees in terms of rounds. Each round:
— costs $5k USD before project begins — represents 25 hours of work at $200/hr — takes 1-2 weeks, depending on client timeline — includes 1 PDF of 3-10 concepts (usually 30+ pages of sketches) — includes a brand questionnaire and 2 meetings (kickoff and presentation) — can extend to multiple rounds if the client wants more options, 2-4 is typical. Depending on budget we can approach each round as either a final or progressive step.
I am highly flexible, this is simply a proposed structure that I find works well, so let me know what comes to mind. Assuming we had everything ready to go in time, I could start on [proposed date]. The next step would be to get on a call.
Thank you for the interest! And either way best of luck [whimsical future with their product in it], B

You see, despite the fact that Danes proudly declare themselves to be a social-democratic state, it pursues perceived freeloaders with a savagery worthy of its Viking roots. Anyone deemed to be insufficiently enthusiastic in contributing to the common good, usually through work and by paying taxes, are hunted morally and practically by the culture and the state.
The same goes for the mentally ill. You’re not going to find obviously distressed individuals roaming the streets of Copenhagen for long before they’re picked up by the police. Denmark will involuntarily commit anyone who’s a potential danger to themselves or others, and it really doesn’t take much.
Panhandling is also illegal. A Romanian man who begged on the streets of Copenhagen was sentenced to 20 days in jail in a case that’s now before the Human Rights Court.
This might all sound rather harsh, and it definitely can be for anyone who violates the social norms. But the upside is a country that is remarkably safe and inviting to everyone who complies with the shared standards.
You see young children everywhere on the streets of Copenhagen, even at night. Our own son started taking the metro alone around the city at age 9! I recall playing outside after dark at age 6 with my friends, and those 1980s freedoms for kids are very much still alive.
The point is that the Danes understand that they can’t both have a safe, open society where young children can be out alone at night, take the metro by themselves, and enjoy the play parks by themselves, if they also allow druggies, vagrants, beggars, and the mentally ill to roam the streets on their own accord. A strong civil society relies invariably on strong norms that are judiciously enforced by both customs and cops.
The fruits of Danish society are meticulously guarded by a strong, tall fence that surrounds the garden. In Denmark, this is self-evident, and not even up for serious debate.
Neither is the fact that when you do all of this in a country with a GDP per capita only 2/3s that of the US, you’re not going to live lavishly in a material sense. The average apartment size in Denmark is just 850 sq feet, the average row house just 1100 sq feet. Most people in Copenhagen get to work by taking the bus, the metro, or their bike. Whether rain or shine (and for about half the year, it’s usually rain!). It’s a national sport to save as much as possible on groceries. It’s common not to have your own washer and dryer.
I dont know how I feel about any of this but it sure is interesting.Reminds me of the Amish.

Editing is supposed to be a cornerstone of cinema, yet there are no edits that we can see, no montage. Continuous action means that we get an intense sense of Keaton's character, because we are in his shoes in real time, lurching from one crisis to the next. Then the director starts fooling with us – the camera goes out a window and slips down two floors, rejoining the cast on stage, and it's four hours later. Time has become meaningless and yet still more pressing, as the opening night approaches.

“Socrates distinguishes four types of divine madness:
1) inspired divination, as seen with the oracle at Delphi;
2) cases in which individuals, when old sins lead to perturbations, burst forth as prophecies and incite prayer and worship;
3) possession by the Muses—the man of technique untouched by the madness of the Muses will never be a good poet;
4) the lover.”
