Philosophy Quote by Heraclitus — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“You cannot step twice into the same river, for other waters are continually flowing in.”

“People do not know how what is at variance agrees with itself. It is an attunement of opposite tensions, like that of the bow and the lyre.”

“All are one”

“People ought to fight”

“Wisdom is the oneness of mind that guides and permeates all things.”

“All is flux”

“Metaphysics means nothing but an unusually obstinate effort to think clearly. The fundamental conceptions of psychology are practically very clear to us, but theoretically they are very confused, and one easily makes the obscurest assumptions in this science without realizing, until challenged, what internal difficulties they involve.”

“If the world was made for us, then it BELONGS to us and we can do what we damn well please with it.”

“Hope burns eternal in the human heart.”

“It's easy to hate and point out everything that is wrong with the world; it is the hardest and most important work in one's life to free oneself from the bonds of fear and attachment.”

“We want to be unique. We act like everyone else.”

“It is my bad luck that this has happened to me.' No, you should rather say: 'It is my good luck that, although this has happened to me, I can bear it without pain, neither crushed by the present nor fearful of the future.' Because such a thing could have happened to any man, but not every man could have borne it without pain. So why see more misfortune in the event than good fortune in your ability to bear it?”
