Pythagoras

Above all things, respect yourself.
Pythagoras
Number is the within of all things.
Pythagoras
Do not even think of doing what ought not to be done.

Pythagoras
Silence is better than unmeaning words.
Pythagoras
It is difficult to walk at one and the same time many paths of life.

Pythagoras
Govern your tongue before all other things, following the gods.
Pythagoras
