Pythagoras
Above all things, reverence yourself.

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

Pythagoras
Numbers rule the universe.
Pythagoras
God built the universe on numbers.
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
Power is the near neighbour of necessity.
Pythagoras
A blow from your friend is better than a kiss from your enemy.
Pythagoras
