Fire lives in the death of earth, air lives in the death of fire, water lives in the death of air, and earth in the death of water.

Ἐδιζησάμην ἐμεωυτόν: I searched myself.

The road up and the road down is one and the same

Under the combthe tangle and the straight pathare the same.

The living, though they yearnfor consummation of their fate,need rest, and in their turn leavechildren to fulfil their doom.

Traveling on every path, you will not find the boundaries of soul by going; so deep is its measure.

The way up and the way down are one and the same.

One cannot step twice in the same river

A dry soul is wisest and best.
