Ethiopians imagine their gods as black and snub-nosed; Thracians blue-eyed and red-haired. But if horses or lions had hands, or could draw and fashion works as men do, horses would draw the gods shaped like horses and lions like lions, making the gods resemble themselves.

For all things come from earth, and all things end by becoming earth.

If God had not made brown honey, men would think figs much sweeter than they do.

All things that come into being and grow are earth and water.

If cows and horses had hands and could draw, cows would draw gods that look like cows and horses would draw gods that look like horses.

Men always makes gods in their own image.

It isn't right to judge strength as better than good wisdom.
