Pythagoras Body Quotations

Friendship is one soul in two bodies.

Despise all those things which when liberated from the body you will not want; invoke the Gods to become your helpers.

Lust weakens both body and mind.

Alas, what wickedness to swallow flesh into our own flesh, to fatten our greedy bodies by cramming in other bodies, to have one living creature fed by the death of another!

The experience of life in a finite, limited body is specifically for the purpose of discovering and manifesting supernatural existence.

Souls never die, but always on quitting one abode pass to another. All things change, nothing perishes. The soul passes hither and thither, occupying now this body, now that... As a wax is stamped with certain figures, then melted, then stamped anew with others, yet it is always the same wax. So, the Soul being always the same, yet wears at different times different forms.
