Pythagoras
Astonishing! Everything is intelligent!
Pythagoras
Numbers rule the universe.
Pythagoras
Let exercise alternate with rest.
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
Do not even think of doing what ought not to be done.
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

Pythagoras
Rest satisfied with doing well, and leave others to talk of you as they please.
Pythagoras
Let not sleep fall upon thy eyes till thou has thrice reviewed the transactions of the past day. Where have I turned aside from rectitude? What have I been doing? What have I left undone, which I ought to have done?
Pythagoras
When going to the temple to adore Divinity neither say nor do any thing in the interim pertaining to the common affairs of life.
Pythagoras
Salt is born of the purest parents: the sun and the sea.
Pythagoras
Animals share with us the privilege of having a soul.
Pythagoras
