More quotes by Lucretius
Life is one long struggle in the dark.
Lucretius
First, then, I say, that the mind, which we often call the intellect, in which is placed the conduct and government of life, is not less an integral part of man himself, than the hand, and foot, and eyes, are portions of the whole animal.
Lucretius
So potent was religion in persuading to evil deeds.
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
What can give us more sure knowledge than our senses? How else can we distinguish between the true and the false?
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
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
Were a man to order his life by the rules of true reason, a frugal substance joined to a contented mind is for him great riches for never is there any lack of a little.
Lucretius
The mask is torn off, while the reality remains
Lucretius
Falling drops will at last wear away stone.
Lucretius
Violence and injury enclose in their net all that do such things, and generally return upon him who began.
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
For thee the wonder-working earth puts forth sweet flowers.
Lucretius
Lucretius, who follows [Epicurus] in denouncing love, sees no harm in sexual intercourse provided it is divorced from passion.
Lucretius
Meantime, when once we know from nothing still Nothing can be create, we shall divine More clearly what we seek: those elements From which alone all things created are, And how accomplished by no tool of Gods.
Lucretius
The mind like a sick body can be healed and changed by medicine.
Lucretius
Men are eager to tread underfoot what they have once too much feared.
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
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 drops of rain make a hole in the stone not by violence but by oft falling.
Lucretius
