But without effort [God] sets in motion all things by mind and thought.

All men begin their learning with Homer.

No human being will ever know the truth, for even if they happen to say it by chance, they would not even know they had done so.

The sea is the source of water and the source of wind; for neither would blasts of wind arise in the clouds and blow out from within them, except for the great sea, nor would the streams of rivers nor the rain-water in the sky exist but for the sea ; but the great sea is the begetter of clouds and winds and rivers.

God is one, greatest of gods and men, not like mortals in body or thought.

But without effort [God] sets in motion all things by mind and thought.

The clear and perfect truth no man has seen, nor will there be anyone who knows about the gods and what I say about all things...; for, however perfect what he says may be, yet he does not know it; all things are matters of opinion.
