Rendall) | The universe is change, life is opinion. (Translation A.S.L. Farquharson) | This world is mere change, and this life, opinion. (Translation Boulton
David Widger) | The universe is change; our life is what our thoughts make it. (Translation M.H. Morgan) | ὁ κόσμος ἀλλοίωσις, ὁ βίος ὑπόληψις. | IV, 3
