For when is death not within our selves? And as Heracleitus says: “Living and dead are the same, and so are awake and asleep, young and old. The former when shifted are the latter, and again the latter when shifted are the former."

It is wise to listen, not to me but to the Word, and to confess that all things are one.

There is a stability in the Universe because of the orderly and balanced process of change, the same measure coming out as going in, as if reality were a huge fire that inhaled and exhaled equal amounts.

Many who have learned from Hesiod the countless names of gods and monsters never understand that night and day are one

There is nothing permanent except change. [Therefore enjoy what good you have while you have it and endure and outlast what bad you can't cure immediately]

Immortal mortals, mortal immortals, one living the others death and dying the others life.

Not I but the world says it: All is one.
