From out of all the many particulars comes oneness, and out of oneness come all the many particulars.

The phases of fire are craving and satiety.

Abundance of knowledge does not teach men to be wise.

All things are in a state of flux.

Everything flows and nothing abides; everything gives way and nothing stays fixed... Cool things become warm, the warm grows cool; the moist dries, the parched becomes moist... It is in changing that things find repose.

Change alone is unchanging.

Man, like a light in the night, is kindled and put out.
