Lucretius

“The supply of matter in the universe is infinite.”

“Nothing can be created out of nothing.”

“What is one man's food is another man's poison.”

“The greatest wealth is to live content with little.”

“Constant dropping wears away a stone.”

“We are all sprung from celestial seed.”

“Life is one long struggle in the dark.”

“Fear is the mother of all gods.”

“The nature of the universe has by no means been made through divine power, seeing how great are the faults it is beset with.”

“No single thing is born from nothing.”

“There is no murky pit of hell awaiting anyone.”

“All things are changing; nothing dies.”

“For fools admire and love those things they see hidden in verses turned all upside down.”

“And so it is that you will find that all things are changed by time.”

“So potent was religion in persuading to evil deeds.”
