Men that love wisdom must be acquainted with very many things indeed.

Our envy always lasts longer than the happiness of those we envy.

I see nothing but Becoming. Be not deceived! It is the fault of your limited outlook and not the fault of the essence of things if you believe that you see firm land anywhere in the ocean of Becoming and Passing. You need names for things, just as if they had a rigid permanence, but the very river in which you bathe a second time is no longer the same one which you entered before

There is nothing permanent except change.

Those unmindful when they hear, for all they make of their intelligence, may be regarded as the walking dead.

No one can step twice into the same river, nor touch mortal substance twice in the same condition. By the speed of its change, it scatters and gathers again.

It is weariness to keep toiling at the same things so that one becomes ruled by them.
