“Neither is there a smallest part of what is small, but there is always a smaller (for it is impossible that what is should cease to be). Likewise there is always something larger than what is large.”

All things were together, infinite both in number and in smallness; for the small too was infinite.

Men would live exceedingly quiet if these two words, mine and thine, were taken away.

The sun provides the moon with its brightness.

It is not I who have lost the Athenians, but the Athenians who have lost me.

The Sun is a mass of fiery stone, a little larger than Greece.

Everything has a natural explanation. The moon is not a god but a great rock and the sun a hot rock.

The descent to Hades is the same from every place.

The forces of rotation caused red hot masses of stones to be torn away from the Earth and to be thrown into the ether, and this is the origin of the stars.

Conclusions from observations are unreliable, only the mind can come nearer to to the truth. Thus, in some ways, philosophy is more important than science.

All other things have a portion of everything, but Mind is infinite and self-ruled, and is mixed with nothing but is all alone by itself.

The descent into Hades is much the same from whatever place we start.

And since the portions of the great and the small are equal in number, so too all things would be in everything. Nor is it possible that they should exist apart, but all things have a portion of everything.

There is no smallest among the small and no largest among the large, but always something still smaller and something still larger.

In everything, there is a share of everything.

The purpose of life is the investigation of the Sun, the Moon, and the heavens.

Appearances are a glimpse of the unseen.

We have quite a large area, and that makes it more fun for us – certainly more satisfying, because it doesn’t restrict us to one particular idea or one particular style.

The very idea of a bird is a symbol and a suggestion to the poet. A bird seems to be at the top of the scale, so vehement and intense is his life, large-brained, large-lunged, hot, ecstatic, his frame charged with buoyancy and his heart with song.

The most satisfying thing in life is to have been able to give a large part of one’s self to others.

I think The Grateful Dead kind of represents the spirit of being able to go out and have an adventure in America at large.

Happiness is having a large, loving, caring, close-knit family in another city.

Debt is a trap, especially student debt, which is enormous, far larger than credit card debt.

By and large, I am opposed to those policies. As is most of the population.

Nature is by and large to be found out of doors, a location where, it cannot be argued, there are never enough comfortable chairs.
