Heraclitus on Veterans Day

535 BC–475 BC Greece

← All quotes by Heraclitus

3 quotes

God is day and night, winter and summer, war and peace, surfeit and hunger.

War is the father and king of all: some he has made gods, and some men; some slaves and some free.

The best people renounce all for one goal, the eternal fame of mortals; but most people stuff themselves like cattle.
