Quotes by Pythagoras

Above all things, reverence yourself.

Choose rather to be strong of soul than strong of body.

In anger we should refrain both from speech and action.

It is only necessary to make war with five things; with the maladies of the body, the ignorances of the mind, with the passions of the body, with the seditions of the city and the discords of families.

Rest satisfied with doing well, and leave others to talk of you as they please.

Do not talk a little on many subjects, but much on a few.

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.

Reason is immortal, all else mortal.
