“You could not step twice into the same river; for other waters are ever flowing on to you.”
No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.
The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become. Your integrity is your destiny - it is the light that guides your way.
Where there is no strife there is decay: The mixture which is not shaken decomposes.
This world . . . ever was, and is, and shall be, ever-living Fire, in measures being kindled and in measure going out.
War is the father and king of all: some he has made gods, and some men; some slaves and some free.
This universe, which is the same for all, has not been made by any god or man, but it always has been, is, and will be an ever-living fire, kindling itself by regular measures and going out by regular measures.
You cannot step twice into the same stream. For as you are stepping in, other waters are ever flowing on to you.
We are most nearly ourselves when we achieve the seriousness of the child at play.
The hidden harmony is better than the obvious.
