More quotes by Lucretius
Human life lay foul before men's eyes, crushed to the dust beneath religion's weight.
Lucretius
Our life must once have end in vain we fly From following Fate e'en now, e'en now, we die.
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
Fear was the first thing on Earth to create gods.
Lucretius
The old must always make way for the new, and one thing must be built out of the ruins of another. There is no murky pit of hell awaiting anyone.
Lucretius
Under what law each thing was created, and how necessary it is for it to continue under this, and how it cannot annul the strong rules that govern its lifetime.
Lucretius
The mind like a sick body can be healed and changed by medicine.
Lucretius
Men conceal the past scenes of their lives.
Lucretius
Some species increase, others diminish, and in a short space the generations of living creatures are changed and, like runners, pass on the torch of life.
Lucretius
Thus the sum Forever is replenished, and we live As mortals by eternal give and take. The nations wax, the nations wane away In a brief space the generations pass, And like to runners hand the lamp of life One unto other.
Lucretius
Therefore there is not anything which returns to nothing, but all things return dissolved into their elements.
Lucretius
The mask is torn off, while the reality remains
Lucretius
Fear is the mother of all gods.
Lucretius
What came from the earth returns back to the earth, and the spirit that was sent from heaven, again carried back, is received into the temple of heaven.
Lucretius
Tears for the mourners who are left behind Peace everlasting for the quiet dead.
Lucretius
Huts they made then, and fire, and skins for clothing, And a woman yielded to one man in wedlock... ... Common, to see the offspring they had made The human race began to mellow then. Because of fire their shivering forms no longer Could bear the cold beneath the covering sky.
Lucretius
Things stand apart so far and differ, that What's food for one is poison for another.
Lucretius
One Man's food is another Man's Poison
Lucretius
Too often in time past, religion has brought forth criminal and shameful actions... How many evils has religion caused?
Lucretius
Those vestiges of natures left behind Which reason cannot quite expel from us Are still so slight that naught prevents a man From living a life even worthy of the gods.
Lucretius
