A hidden connection is stronger than an obvious one.

War is the father and king of all: some he has made gods, and some men; some slaves and some free.

There is nothing permanent in the world except change.

Everything changes and nothing stands still.

It is hard to contend against one's heart's desire; for whatever it wishes to have it buys at the cost of soul.

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.

Eyes and ears are poor witnesses to people if they have uncultured souls.
