My favourite saying of the Buddha ("the teacher") is this:

It is said that when Buddha was first Enlightened he was asked, 
"Are you a God?" 
"No," he replied. 
"Are you a saint?" 
"No." 
"Then what are you?" 
And he answered, "I am awake."

"...we are not simply contending in order that my view or that
of yours may prevail, but I presume we ought both of us to be
fighting for the truth..."
from Philebus, the Dialogues of Plato
