War is the father of all things.

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.

All entities move and nothing remains still.

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.

There is nothing peranent except change.

Wisdom is the oneness of mind that guides and permeated all things.

There is nothing permanent except change. [Therefore enjoy what good you have while you have it and endure and outlast what bad you can't cure immediately]
