A wise person is like a beacon of light, guiding others through the darkness of uncertainty with their knowledge and insight.
Diogenes said this.
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."
