Quotes by Pythagoras
Justice is the product of fair division.
The wise count blessings, not woes.
Eternity is captured in a single equation.
Live as if under the gods' watchful numbers.
The mind's eye sees geometric truths.
Harmony tunes the strings of fate.
The unnumbered life is chaos.
In math, errors are but steps to proof.
The soul weighs heavy with unlearned lessons.
Politics is the geometry of power.
Laughter is the shortest distance between friends.
The pyramid ascends to divine heights.
Cherish the moment as a perfect square.
Truth unfolds in infinite progression.
Number is the ruler of forms and ideas, and the cause of gods and demons.
Evolution is the law of life, number is the law of the universe, unity is the law of God.
There is geometry in the humming of the strings, there is music in the spacing of the spheres.
As long as man continues to be the ruthless destroyer of lower living beings, he will never know health or peace. For as long as men massacre animals, they will kill each other. Indeed, he who sows the seed of murder and pain cannot reap joy and love.
Choose always the way that seems the best, however rough it may be; custom will soon render it easy and agreeable.
Educate the children and it won't be necessary to punish the men.
