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

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 – Pythagoras

Begin thus from the first act, and proceed; and, in conclusion, at the ill which thou hast done, be troubled, and rejoice for the good

There is nothing so easy but that it becomes difficult when you do it reluctantly – Pythagoras

Silence is better than unmeaning words – Pythagoras
