The Cosmos was not made by gods but always was and is eternal fire.
The way up and the way down are one and the same.
All things come out of the one, and the one out of all things.
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.
War is the father and king of all.
There is exchange of all things for fire and of fire for all things, as there is of wares for gold and of gold for wares.
