More quotes by Lucretius
If men saw that a term was set to their troubles, they would find strength in some way to withstand the hocus-pocus and intimidations of the prophets.
Lucretius
Things stand apart so far and differ, that What's food for one is poison for another.
Lucretius

Lucretius
Death is nothing to us, it matters not one jot, since the nature of the mind is understood to be mortal.
Lucretius
Now come: that thou mayst able be to know That minds and the light souls of all that live Have mortal birth and death, I will go on Verses to build meet for thy rule of life, Sought after long, discovered with sweet toil.

Lucretius
Therefore there is not anything which returns to nothing, but all things return dissolved into their elements.
Lucretius
...Thus it comes That earth, without her seasons of fixed rains, Could bear no produce such as makes us glad, And whatsoever lives, if shut from food, Prolongs its kind and guards its life no more.
Lucretius
Nature obliges everything to change about. One thing crumbles and falls in the weakness of age Another grows in its place from a negligible start. So time alters the whole nature of the world And earth passes from one state to another.
Lucretius
Life is one long struggle in the dark.
Lucretius
I prove the supreme law of Gods and sky, And the primordial germs of things unfold, Whence Nature all creates, and multiplies And fosters all, and whither she resolves Each in the end when each is overthrown. This ultimate stock we have devised to name Procreant atoms, matter, seeds of things, Or primal bodies, as primal to the world.
Lucretius
The dreadful fear of hell is to be driven out, which disturbs the life of man and renders it miserable, overcasting all things with the blackness of darkness, and leaving no pure, unalloyed pleasure.
Lucretius
