Mario Livio Quote
Pythagoras is in fact credited with having coined the words philosophy (love of wisdom) and mathematics (that which is learned). To him, a philosopher was someone who gives himself up to discovering the meaning and purpose of life itself...to uncover the secrets of nature. Pythagoras emphasized the importance of learning above all other activities, because, in his words, most men and women, by birth or nature, lack the means to advance in wealth and power, but all have the ability to advance in knowledge.
