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.

Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.
To fear love is to fear life, and those who fear life are already three parts dead.
Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
