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
In anger we should refrain both from speech and action.
Pythagoras
We come from God. As the tree from the root and the stream from the spring that's why we should always be in contact with Him, as the trunk from the root. Because the stream dries up when it is separated from the spring and the tree dies when is uprooted.
Pythagoras

Pythagoras
One must choose in all things a mean just and good.

Pythagoras
Don't try to cover your mistakes with false words. Rather, correct your mistakes with examination.
Pythagoras
There is a good principle which created order, light, and man, and an evil principle which created chaos, darkness, and woman.
Pythagoras
God built the universe on numbers.
Pythagoras
We ought so to behave to one another as to avoid making enemies of our friends, and at the same time to make friends of our enemies.
Pythagoras
Know thyself and thou wilt know the universe.
Pythagoras
A fool is known by his speech and a wise man by silence.
Pythagoras
Step not beyond the beam of the balance.
Pythagoras
It is better to be silent, than to dispute with the Ignorant.
Pythagoras
