More quotes by Empedocles

Blessed is he who has acquired a wealth of divine wisdom, but miserable is he in whom there rests a dim opinion concerning the gods.

But what is lawful for all extends across wide-ruling aether and, without cease, through endless sunshine.

Nothing of the All is either empty or superfluous.

For already, sometime, I have been a boy and a girl, a shrub, a bird, and a silent fish in the sea.

From such honor and such a height of fortune am I, thus fallen to earth, cast down amongst mortals.
