More quotes by Pythagoras
Number was the substance of all things.
Pythagoras
God built the universe on numbers.
Pythagoras
Concern should drive us into action and not into a depression. No man is free who cannot control himself.
Pythagoras
Friends share all things.
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
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
The wise man should be prepared for everything that does not lie within his control.
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
So in life, some enter the services of fame and others money, but the best choice is that of those few who spend their time in the contemplation of nature, and as lovers of wisdom.
Pythagoras
There is no word or action but has its echo in Eternity.
Pythagoras
It is difficult to walk at one and the same time many paths of life.
Pythagoras
Don't disarrange my circles!
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
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
It is required to find the infinitely big inside what's infinitely small to feel the presence of God.
Pythagoras
Each celestial body, in fact each and every atom, produces a particular sound on account of its movement, its rhythm or vibration. All these sounds and vibrations form a universal harmony in which each element, while having it’s own function and character, contributes to the whole.
Pythagoras
Learn to be silent. Let your quiet mind listen and absorb.
Pythagoras
Respect gods before demigods, heroes before men, and first among men your parents but respect yourself most of all.
Pythagoras
A fool is known by his speech and a wise man by silence.
Pythagoras
Animals share with us the privilege of having a soul.
Pythagoras
