"Vocatus atque not vocatus deus aderit."
(Summoned or not summoned God will be present.)
Taken from an equivocal Delphic oracle. Jung parsed the oracle as follows:
"...it says: yes, the god will be on the spot , but in what form and to what purpose? I have put the inscription there to remind my patients and myself: Timor dei intitium sapientiae [The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom]. Here another, not less important road begins, not the approach to 'Christianity' but to God himself and this seems to be the ultimate question."
