mutable nature Quotes

All things are subject to decay and change.

Nought may endure but Mutability.

Mutability is the badge of infirmity. It is seldom that a man continues to wish and design the same thing two days alike. Now he is for marrying; and now a mistress is preferred to a wife.

There is nothing exempt from the peril of mutation; the earth, heavens, and whole world is thereunto subject.

No form remains permanently in a substance; a constant change takes place, one form is taken off and another is put on.
