More quotes by 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
Fear is the mother of all gods.
Lucretius
The mask is torn off, while the reality remains
Lucretius
What can give us more sure knowledge than our senses? How else can we distinguish between the true and the false?
Lucretius
But yet creation's neither crammed nor blocked About by body: there's in things a void- Which to have known will serve thee many a turn, Nor will not leave thee wandering in doubt, Forever searching in the sum of all, And losing faith in these pronouncements mine.
Lucretius
So, little by little, time brings out each several thing into view, and reason raises it up into the shores of light.
Lucretius
What once sprung from the earth sinks back into the earth.
Lucretius
For men know not what the nature of the soul is whether it is engendered with us, or whether, on the contrary, it is infused into us at our birth, whether it perishes with us, dissolved by death, or whether it haunts the gloomy shades and vast pools of Orcus.
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
For common instinct of our race declares That body of itself exists: unless This primal faith, deep-founded, fail us not, Naught will there be whereunto to appeal On things occult when seeking aught to prove By reasonings of mind.
Lucretius
There can be no centre in infinity.
Lucretius
And life is given to none freehold, but it is leasehold for all.
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
All life is a struggle in the dark.
Lucretius
Nor can those motions that bring death prevail Forever, nor eternally entomb The welfare of the world nor, further, can Those motions that give birth to things and growth Keep them forever when created there.
Lucretius
It's easier to avoid the snares of love than to escape once you are in that net.
Lucretius
Fear was the first thing on Earth to create gods.
Lucretius
Therefore there is not anything which returns to nothing, but all things return dissolved into their elements.
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
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
