In the Symposium, Plato draws a distinction between a philosopher and a sage (sophos). The difference is explained through the concept of love, which lacks the object it seeks. Therefore the philosopher (literally lover of wisdom in Greek) does not have the wisdom he or she seeks. The sage, on the other hand, does not love or seek wisdom, because he already has wisdom. According to Plato, there are two categories of beings who do not do philosophy:

    Gods and sages, because they are wise;
    senseless people, because they think they are wise. 

字源： "wise," c.1300, from O.Fr. sage  (11c.), from Gallo-Romance *sabius,  from V.L. *sapius,  from L. sapere  "have a taste, have good taste, be wise," from PIE base *sap-  "to taste." The noun meaning "man of profound wisdom" is recorded from c.1300. Originally applied to the Seven Sages  -- Thales, Solon, Periander, Cleobulus, Chilon, Bias, and Pittacus.

saliva

wiki: 口水, 唾液 Saliva is a watery substance located in the mouths of organisms, secreted by the salivary glands. Human saliva is composed of 99.5% water, while the other 0.5% consists of electrolytes, mucus, glycoproteins, enzymes, and antibacterial compounds such as secretory IgA and lysozyme. The enzymes found in saliva are essential in beginning the process of digestion of dietary starches and fats. These enzymes also play a role in breaking down food particles entrapped within dental crevices, protecting teeth from bacterial decay. Furthermore, saliva serves a lubricative function, wetting food and permitting the initiation of swallowing, and protecting the mucosal surfaces of the oral cavity from desiccation
