Pythagorus

"As soon as laws are necessary for men, they are no longer fit for freedom. "

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

"No one is free who has not obtained the empire of himself. "

"Respect yourself most of all. "

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

"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. "
