Clement of Alexandria

The Stromata Book 1 (215)

"And my doctrine is not Mine," saith the Lord, "but the Father's which sent me." And of those who steal He says: "But he that speaketh of himself, seeketh his own glory." Such are the Greeks, "lovers of their own selves, and boasters." Scripture, when it speaks of these as wise, does not brand those who are really wise, but those who are wise in appearance.

There have been both teachers and people in every age of the Church, and in every age of the world, to whom these words may be most legitimately applied.
