Additional quotes by Pythagoras

By the air which I breathe, and by the water which I drink, I will not endure to be blamed on account of this discourse.

It is better to suffer, than to do, wrong.

Work at these things, practice them, these are the things you ought to desire; they are what will put you on the path of divine virtue — yes, by the one who entrusted our soul with the tetraktys, source of ever-flowing nature. Pray to the gods for success and get to work.
