More quotes by Lucretius
Nothing comes from nothing.
Lucretius
...Nature allows Destruction nor collapse of aught, until Some outward force may shatter by a blow, Or inward craft, entering its hollow cells, Dissolve it down.
Lucretius
Fear is the mother of all gods.
Lucretius

Lucretius
...if one thing frightens people, it is that so much happens, on earth and out in space, the reasons for which seem somehow to escape them, and they fill in the gap by putting it down to the gods.
Lucretius
These [the senses] we trust, first, last, and always.
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
Therefore there is not anything which returns to nothing, but all things return dissolved into their elements.

Lucretius

Lucretius
Our life must once have end in vain we fly From following Fate e'en now, e'en now, we die.
Lucretius
For out of doubt In these affairs 'tis each man's will itself That gives the start, and hence throughout our limbs Incipient motions are diffused.
Lucretius
To ask for power is forcing uphill a stone which after all rolls back again from the summit and seeks in headlong haste the levels of the plain.
Lucretius
And life is given to none freehold, but it is leasehold for all.
Lucretius
Death is nothing to us, it matters not one jot, since the nature of the mind is understood to be mortal.
Lucretius
For thee the wonder-working earth puts forth sweet flowers.
Lucretius
For there is a VOID in things a truth which it will be useful for you, in reference to many points, to know and which will prevent you from wandering in doubt.
Lucretius
The wailing of the newborn infant is mingled with the dirge for the dead.
Lucretius
