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.

Everything flows and nothing abides. Everything gives way and nothing stays fixed.

May you have plenty of wealth, you men of Ephesus, in order that you may be punished for your evil ways

If you do not hope, you will not win that which is not hoped for, since it is unattainable and inaccessible.

Everything changes and nothing stands still.

Things keep their secrets.

Those who approach life like a child playing a game, moving and pushing pieces, possess the power of kings.
