Look at a man in the midst of doubt & danger and you will learn in his hour of adversity what he really is.

Lucretius

By protracting life, we do not deduct one jot from the duration of death.
LUCRETIUS

No fact is so simple that it is not harder to believe than to doubt at the first presentation. Equally, there is nothing so mighty or so marvelous that the wonder it evokes does not tend to diminish in time.
LUCRETIUS

Believe Diminish Equality Simplicity Time Wonder
All things obey fixed laws.

So it is more useful to watch a man in times of peril, and in adversity to discern what kind of man he is; for then at last words of truth are drawn from the depths of his heart, and the mask is torn off, reality remains.
LUCRETIUS

Anand Thakur
When bodies spring apart, because the air Somehow condenses, wander they from truth: For then a void is formed, where none before; And, too, a void is filled which was before.

If God can do anything he can make a stone so heavy that even he can’t lift it. Then there is something God cannot do, he cannot lift the stone. Therefore God does not exist.

Those things that are in the light we behold from darkness.

No single thing abides; but all things flow. Fragment to fragment clings – the things thus grow Until we know them and name them. By degrees They melt, and are no more the things we know.
LUCRETIUS

Cling Degree Flow Fragment
