Heraclitus Quotes

Everything flows and nothing abides. Everything gives way and nothing stays fixed.

All things flow, nothing abides.

Heraclitus somewhere says that all things are in process and nothing stays still, and likening existing things to the stream of a river he says that you would not step twice into the same river.

All is flux, nothing is stationary.

No one can step twice into the same river, nor touch mortal substance twice in the same condition. By the speed of its change, it scatters and gathers again.

The river where you set your foot just now is gone-those waters give way to this, now this.

We can none of us step into the same river twice, but the river flows on and the other river we step into is cool and refreshing, too

You can step in the same river but the water will always be new.

You cannot go into the same water twice.

Ever-newer waters flow on those who step into the same rivers.

All things change, nothing is extinguished. There is nothing in the whole world which is permanent. Everything flows onward; all things are brought into being with a changing nature; the ages themselves glide by in constant movement.

Things of this world are in so constant a flux, that nothing remains long in the same state.

You cannot step into the same river twice.

You could not step twice into the same rivers; for other waters are ever flowing on to you.

Nothing endures but change.

You can not step twice into the same river, for other waters are continually flowing on.

All Things Change (Omnium Rerum Vicissitudo)

Most things don't stay the way they are very long.

Can anything be constant in a world which is eternally changing?

The only thing that never changes is that everything changes.

Nothing is permanent but change.

Nothing is forever, but there's a continuing stream of people who go through our lives and continue with us... Nothing just stops and stays... But it flows on... Like a river.

Not one is constant, but everything is changing.
