The oldest, shortest words— "yes" and "no"— are those which require the most thought.

Pythagoras

Many words befall men, mean and noble alike; do not be astonished by them, nor allow yourself to be constrained.
If a lie is told, bear with it gently.
But whatever I tell you, let it be done completely.
Let no one persuade you by word or deed to do or say whatever is not best for you.


Pythagoras

There is no word or action but has its echo in Eternity.
Thought is an Idea in transit, which when once released, never can be lured back, nor the spoken word recalled. Nor ever can the overt act be erased All that thou thinkest, sayest, or doest bears perpetual record of itself, enduring for Eternity.

Practice justice in word and deed, and do not get in the habit of acting thoughtlessly about anything.

Pythagoras

Pythagoras
