More quotes by Pythagoras
A good Soul hath neither too great joy, nor too great sorrow: for it rejoiceth in goodness and it sorroweth in wickedness. By the means whereof, when it beholdeth all things, and seeth the good and bad so mingled together, it can neither rejoice greatly nor be grieved with over much sorrow.
Pythagoras
There is a good principle which created order, light, and man, and an evil principle which created chaos, darkness, and woman.
Pythagoras
As soon as laws are necessary for men, they are no longer fit for freedom.
Pythagoras
Consider before acting, to avoid foolishness: It is the worthless man who speaks and acts thoughtlessly.
Pythagoras
You should help a man to take up a burden, but you should not help him put it back down.
Pythagoras
Practice justice in word and deed, and do not get in the habit of acting thoughtlessly about anything.
Pythagoras
Silence is better than unmeaning words.
Pythagoras
He buries gold who hides the truth.
Pythagoras
It is better wither to be silent, or to say things of more value than silence. Sooner throw a pearl at hazard than an idle or useless word and do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in a few.
Pythagoras
You should make great things, not promising great things.
Pythagoras
If men with fleshly mortals must be fed, and chew with bleeding teeth the breathing bread what else is this but to devour our guests, and barbarously renew Cyclopean feasts? While Earth not only can your needs supply, but, lavish of her store, provides for luxury a guiltless feast administers with ease, and without blood is prodigal to please.
Pythagoras
If you have a wounded heart, touch it as little as you would an injured eye. There are only two remedies for the suffering of the soul: hope and patience.
Pythagoras
Practice restraint over the following: appetite, first, as well as sleep, lust, and anger.
Pythagoras
Hate and fear breed a poison in the blood, which if continued, affects eyes, ears, nose and the organs of digestion. Therefore, it is not wise to hear and remember the unkind things others might say about you.
Pythagoras
Number is the ruler of forms and ideas, and the cause of gods and daemons.
Pythagoras
He is not rich, that enjoyeth not his own goods.
Pythagoras
But respect yourself most of all.
Pythagoras
It is requisite to defend those who are unjustly accused of having acted injuriously, but to praise those who excel in a certain good.
Pythagoras
Friendship is one soul in two bodies.
Pythagoras
Anger begins in folly, and ends in repentance.
Pythagoras
