All men have the capacity of knowing themselves and acting with moderation.

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.

Men forget where the way leads and what they meet with every day seems strange to them.We should not act and speak like men asleep.

Opposition brings concord. Out of discord comes the fairest harmony.

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.

Whoever cannot seek the unforeseen sees nothing for the known way is an impasse.

What is divine escapes men's notice because of their incredulity.
