Heraclitus
Greek - Philosopher
544 BC - 483 BC

No man ever steps in the same river twice, for it's not the same river and he's not the same man.

Heraclitus

There are books so alive that you're always afraid that while you weren't reading, the book has gone and changed, has shifted like a river; while you went on living, it went on living too, and like a river moved on and moved away. No one has stepped twice into the same river. But did anyone ever step twice into the same book?

Marina Tsvetaeva

Heraclitus says you cannot step into the same river twice. We can also say that the same river cannot touch us twice!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

They say you can never step in the same river twice. New water flows in, replacing the old and continually renewing the river. The Senate is the same.

Harry Reid

We can none of us step into the same river twice, but the river flows on and the other river we step into is cool and refreshing, too

W. Somerset Maugham

No one can step twice into the same river, nor touch mortal substance twice in the same condition. By the speed of its change, it scatters and gathers again.

Heraclitus

To the lost man, to the pioneer penetrating a new country, to the naturalist who wishes to see the wild land at its wildest, the advice is always the same - follow a river. The river is the original forest highway. It is nature's own Wilderness Road.

Edwin Way Teale

You may wonder, 'How can I leave it all behind if I am just coming back to it? How can I make a new beginning if I simply return to the old? The answer lies in the return. You will not come back to the 'same old thing. What you return to has changed because you have changed. Your perceptions will be altered. You will not incorporate into the same body, status, or world you left behind. The river has been flowing while you were gone. Now it does not look like the same river.

Stephen Foster

You never step in the same river of thought twice, because neither you nor it are the same.

Jacques Barzun

Heraclitus somewhere says that all things are in process and nothing stays still, and likening existing things to the stream of a river he says that you would not step twice into the same river.

Heraclitus

No one has ever stepped twice into the same river. But did anyone ever step twice into the same book?

Marina Tsvetaeva

I know the joy of fishes in the river through my own joy, as I go walking along the same river.

Zhuangzi

You can never step in the same river twice.

Heraclitus

You cannot step twice into the same river.

Heraclitus

You cannot step into the same river twice.

Heraclitus

Five hundred years before Christ was born, the Greek philosopher Heraclitus told his students that "everything changes except the law of change". He said: "You cannot step in the same river twice." The river changes every second; and so does the man who stepped in it. Life is a ceaseless change. The only certainty is today. Why mar the beauty of living today by trying to solve the problems of a future that is shrouded in ceaseless change and uncertainty-a future that no one can possibly foretell?
