Quote of the Day by Pythagoras: ‘Anger begins with folly, and ends with…’ Greek philosopher's words capture timeless truth about human emotion

Quote of the Day: Pythagoras was an ancient Greek philosopher, mathematician, and mystic whose ideas profoundly shaped Western thought. Born around 570 BCE on the island of Samos, he is best known for founding the Pythagorean school, a philosophical movement that blended mathematics, spirituality, and ethics. Though many remember him for the celebrated Pythagorean theorem, his influence extended far beyond geometry.

His teachings inspired generations of scholars and philosophers, leaving an enduring mark on mathematics, music theory, and metaphysical thought.
