No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.

Time is a game played beautifully by children.

Even a soul submerged in sleep is hard at work and helps make something of the world.

To be evenminded is the greatest virtue.Wisdom is to speakthe truth and actin keeping with its nature.

Whoever cannot seek the unforeseen sees nothing for the known way is an impasse.

Wisdom is the oneness of mind that guides and permeates all things.

People ought to fight to keep their law as to defend the citys walls.

All are one

People do not know how what is at variance agrees with itself. It is an attunement of opposite tensions, like that of the bow and the lyre.

All is flux

Because it is so unbelievable, the truth often escapes being known.

Nothing endures but change.

War is father of all, and king of all. He renders some gods, others men; he makes some slaves, others free.

One must realize that war is common, and justice strife, and that all things come to be through strife and are (so) ordained.

One thunderbolt strikesroot through everything

Other men are unaware of what they do when they are awake just as they are forgetful of what they do when they are asleep.

Character is destiny

The unlike is joined together, and from differences results the most beautiful harmony.

Many who have learnedfrom Hesiod the countless namesof gods and monstersnever understandthat night and day are one

Always having what we wantmay not be the best good fortuneHealth seems sweetestafter sickness, foodin hunger, goodnessin the wake of evil, and at the endof daylong labor sleep.

Man is most nearly himself when he achieves the seriousness of a child at play.

Good character is not formed in a week or a month. It is created little by little, day by day. Protracted and patient effort is needed to develop good character.

The kosmos works by harmony of tensions, like lyre and bow. Good and evil are one. On the one hand God sees all as well, fair, and good; on the other hand a human being sees injustice here, justice there. Justice in our minds is strife. We cannot help but see war makes us as we are.

Nature loves to hide.

Everything flows and nothing stays.

Any day stands equal to the rest.

Give me one manfrom among ten thousandif he is the best

Unless you expect the unexpected, you will not find it, for it is hidden and thickly tangled.

The Aeon is a child at play with colored balls.(translation/paraphrase: Terence McKenna)

Aion is a child at play, playing draughts; the kingship is a child's.

Stupidity is doomed,therefore, to cringeat every syllableof wisdom.

If they are gods, why do you lament them? If you lament them, you must no longer regard them as gods.

Allow yourself to think only those thoughts that match your principles and can bear the bright light of day. Day by day, your choices, your thoughts, your actions fashion the person you become. Your integrity determines your destiny.

If you do not expect it you will not find the unexpected for it is hard to find and difficult.

There is nothing permanent except change.

You can't step into the same river twice.

Everything flows nothing stays still.

Nothing is permanent but change.

It is in changing that things find purpose.

You cannot step twice into the same river for other waters are continually flowing on.

The sun is new each day.

You cannot step twice into the same river for other waters are continually flowing on.

All things flow nothing abides.

Men forget where the way leads and what they meet with every day seems strange to them.We should not act and speak like men asleep.
