Those who are awake all live in the same world. Those who are asleep live in their own worlds.

Ever-newer waters flow on those who step into the same rivers.

This world... ever was, and is, and shall be, ever-living Fire, in measures being kindled and in measures going out.

We have to be faster in calming down a resentment than putting out a fire, because the consequences of the first are infinitely more dangerous than the results of the last; fire ends burning down some houses at the most, while the resentment can cause cruel wars, with the ruin and total destruction of nations.

The most beautiful ape is ugly when compared to a human. The wisest human will seem like an ape when compared to a god with respect to wisdom, beauty, and everything else.

The world, an entity out of everything, was created by none of the gods or men, but was, is and will be eternally living fire, regularly becoming ignited and reg- ularly becoming extinguished.

Because it is so unbelievable, the Truth often escapes being known.
