The universal cosmic process was not created by any god or man.

All is flux, nothing is stationary.

The phases of fire are craving and satiety.

The best people renounce all for one goal, the eternal fame of mortals; but most people stuff themselves like cattle.

It is by disease that health is pleasant; by evil that good is pleasant; by hunger, satiety; by weariness, rest.

A blow to the head will confuse a man's thinking, a blow to the foot has no such effect, this cannot be the result of an immaterial soul.

Knowledge is not intelligence.
