Additional quotes by Pythagoras

Thought is an Idea in transit, which when once released, never can be lured back, nor the spoken word recalled. Nor ever can the overt act be erased.

A solitary man is a God, or a beast.

A good Soul hath neither too great joy, nor too great sorrow: for it rejoiceth in goodness; and it sorroweth in wickedness. By the means whereof, when it beholdeth all things, and seeth the good and bad so mingled together, it can neither rejoice greatly; nor be grieved with over much sorrow.

most men and women, by birth or nature, lack the means to advance in wealth or power, but all have the ability to advance in knowledge. - Pythagoras
