Pythagoras

In no way neglect the health of your body; But give it drink and food in due measure, and also the exercise of which it has need.

Accustom yourself to a way of living that is neat and decent without luxury.

Avoid all things that will occasion envy.

Neither be covetous nor stingy; a due measure is excellent in these things.

Do only those things which will not harm thee, and deliberate before you act.

Wisdom thoroughly learned will never be forgotten.

Let no one persuade you by word or deed to do or say whatever is not best for you.

It is difficult to walk at one and the same time many paths of life.

Rest satisfied with doing well, and leave others to talk of you as they please.

In anger we should refrain both from speech and action.

Choose rather to be strong of soul than strong of body.

Silence is better than unmeaning words.

Reason is immortal, all else mortal.

Know thyself and thou wilt know the universe.

Truth is so great a perfection, that if God would render himself visible to men, he would choose light for his body and truth for his soul.

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.

All things are numbers.

Do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in few.

The most momentous thing in human life is the art of winning the soul to good or to evil.

Anger begins with folly and ends with repentance.
