More quotes by Pythagoras

Let no one persuade you by word or deed to do or say whatever is not best for you.

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

Number is the ruler of forms and ideas, and the cause of gods and daemons.

Assist a man in raising a burden; but do not assist him in laying it down.

There is no word or action but has its echo in Eternity.
