Additional quotes by Pythagoras

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.

Do not take roads traveled by the public.

Choose always the way that seems the best, however rough it may be; custom will soon render it easy and agreeable.
