It is godlike ever to think on something beautiful and on something new.

All things happen by virtue of necessity.

Nothing exists but atoms and the void.

The whole Earth is at the hand of the wise man, since the fatherland of an elevated soul is the Universe.

Magnanimity consists in enduring tactlessness with mildness.

There are innumerable worlds of different sizes. In some there is neither sun not moon, in others they are larger than in ours and others have more than one. These worlds are at irregular distances, more in one direction and less in another, and some are flourishing, others declining. Here they come into being, there they die, and they are distroyed by collision with one another. Some of the worlds have no animal or vegetable life nor any water.

To a wise man, the whole earth is open; for the native land of a good soul is the whole earth.
