“Hide our ignorance as we will, an evening of wine soon reveals it.”

Those who love wisdom must investigate many things.

War is father of all, and king of all. He renders some gods, others men; he makes some slaves, others free.

Man is on earth as in an egg.

Men that love wisdom must be acquainted with very many things indeed.

How can you hide from what never goes away?

Silence, healing.

The sun is new each day.

The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts.

All is flux, nothing stays still.

Eyes are more accurate witnesses than ears.

Abundance of knowledge does not teach men to be wise.

If you do not expect the unexpected, you will not find it; for it is hard to be sought out and difficult.

The universal cosmic process was not created by any god or man.

Sit, be still, and listen, because you’re drunk and we’re at the edge of the roof.
