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.

Pythagorus

(c. 570 – c. 495 BC) was an Ionian Greek philosopher and the eponymous founder of the Pythagoreanism movement. His political and religious teachings were well-known in Magna Graecia and influenced the philosophies of Plato, Aristotle, and, through them, Western philosophy. Knowledge of Pythagoras's life is largely clouded by legend and obfuscation, but he appears to have been the son of Mnesarchus, a seal engraver on the island of Samos.

ճշմարտությունն այնքան մեծ կատարելություն է, որ եթե աստված իրեն տեսանելի դարձնի մարդկանց, նա իր մարմնի համար լույս կընտրեր, իսկ ճշմարտությունը ՝ իր հոգու համար:

Истина настолько совершенна, что если бы Бог сделал себя видимым для людей, он бы выбрал свет для своего тела и правду для своей души.
