"We meet four types of people in life,
And we must know how to deal with them:
Follow them who know, and know that they know.
Wake them who know, and know not that they know.
Guide them who know not, and know that they know not.
Shun them who know not, and know not that they know not."

A Similar Version
Those who know and know that they know - they are the wise - follow them.
Those who know but don't know that they know- they are misguided - enlighten them.
Those who don't know and know they don't know- they are the students - guide them.
Those who don't know and don't know they don't know - they are fools - avoid them.

Diogenes said this.
He said many wise things in his speech, but i don't know exactly what he said. So sorry I couldn't help you.
The two seemingly identical phrasings may have separate or even contradictory meanings : "Once said by the wise" indicates a fact or detail that exists from antiquity, which could be a time-honored fact, or a belief that has little modern notoriety. e.g. "This herb was once said by the wise to be a key to long life." "The wise once said" could indicate a similar sentiment, but leaves open the possibility that the belief was mistaken. e.g. "The wise once said that the stars were fixed in the heavens."
well, with what? being wise or to make him laugh? to be wise: there isn't really an answer, you just need luck, i don't know... maybe get a 4 leaf clover and a horse shoe (in real life) and hope that he thinks what you said was wise.......

It's not a particularly obscure quotation. It means that if you are a father and you know your own child (which could mean to recognize him or her, or understand him or her) then you are wise. It's said by the clown Gobbo in The Merchant of Venice.
They followed a single star.
