More quotes by Heraclitus
Men who wish to know about the world must learn about it in its particular details.
Heraclitus
Couples are wholes and not wholes, what agrees disagrees, the concordant is discordant. From all things one and from one all things.
Heraclitus
Learning many things does not teach understanding
Heraclitus
To God all things are beautiful, good, and right human beings, on the other hand, deem some things right and others wrong. It would not be better if things happened to people just as they wish.
Heraclitus
Knowledge is not intelligence.
Heraclitus
Everything changes but change itself. Everything flows and nothing remains the same... You cannot step twice into the same river, for other waters and yet others go flowing ever on.
Heraclitus
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.
Heraclitus
Where there is no strife there is decay: 'The mixture which is not shaken decomposes.'
Heraclitus
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.
Heraclitus
This world... ever was, and is, and shall be, ever-living Fire, in measures being kindled and in measures going out.
Heraclitus
Knowledge of divine things for the most part is lost to us by incredulity.
Heraclitus
Our envy always lasts longer than the happiness of those we envy.
Heraclitus
A blow to the head will confuse a man's thinking, a blow to the foot has no such effect, this cannot be the result of an immaterial soul.
Heraclitus
For when is death not within our selves? And as Heracleitus says: “Living and dead are the same, and so are awake and asleep, young and old. The former when shifted are the latter, and again the latter when shifted are the former.
Heraclitus
Greater dooms win greater destinies.
Heraclitus
A dry soul is wisest and best.
Heraclitus
The majority of people have no understanding of the things with which they daily meet, nor, when instructed, do they have any right knowledge of them, although to themselves they seem to have.
Heraclitus
There is nothing permanent in the world except change.
Heraclitus
I am what libraries and librarians have made me, with little assistance from a professor of Greek and poets
Heraclitus
No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.
Heraclitus
