More quotes by 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
But respect yourself most of all.
Pythagoras
Lust weakens both body and mind.
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
Salt is born of the purest parents: the sun and the sea.
Pythagoras
Music is the harmonization of opposites the conciliation of warring elements
Pythagoras

Pythagoras
Respect gods before demigods, heroes before men, and first among men your parents but respect yourself most of all.
Pythagoras

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
The stars in the heavens sing a music, if only we had ears to hear
Pythagoras
The oldest, shortest words - 'yes' and 'no' - are those which require the most thought.
Pythagoras
I would have to say the probability of us dying seems extremely high.
Pythagoras
There is no word or action but has its echo in Eternity.
Pythagoras
Learn silence. With the quiet serenity of a meditative mind, listen, absorb, transcribe, and transform.
Pythagoras
He is not rich, that enjoyeth not his own goods.
Pythagoras
A stranger, if just, is not only to be preferred before a countryman, but a kinsman.
Pythagoras
Do not go to bed until you have gone over the day three times in your mind. What wrong did I do? What good did I accomplish? What did I forget to do?
Pythagoras
