A man's character is his fate.

Everything changes and nothing stands still.

Of the Logos which is as I describe it men always prove to be uncomprehending, both before they have heard it and when once they have heard it. For although all things happen according to this Logos, they [men] are like people of no experience, even when they experience such words and deeds as I explain, when I distinguish each thing according to its constitution and declare how it is; but the rest of men fail to notice what they do after they wake up just as they forget what they do when asleep.

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

Men who wish to know about the world must learn about it in its particular details.
