Rest satisfied with doing well, and leave others to talk of you as they will.
Pythagoras
It is better wither to be silent, or to say things of more value than silence. Sooner throw a pearl at hazard than an idle or useless word; and do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in a few.
Pythagoras
-The most momentous thing in human life is the art of winning the soul to good or evil.
Pythagoras
It is only necessary to make war with five things: with the maladies of the body, with the ignorances of the mind, with the passions of the body, with the seditions of the city, with the discords of families.
Pythagoras
It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.
