Pythagoras

Pythagoras
It is better to be silent, than to dispute with the Ignorant.
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
Above all things, reverence yourself.
Pythagoras
Do not even think of doing what ought not to be done.
Pythagoras
It is required to find the infinitely big inside what's infinitely small to feel the presence of God.
Pythagoras
