Heraclitus
Greek - Philosopher
544 BC - 483 BC

Nothing endures but change. There is nothing permanent except change. All is flux, nothing stays still.

Heraclitus

Everything is in a process of change, nothing endures; we do not seek permanence.

Masatoshi Naito

Never do today what you can put off until tomorrow. Nothing endures but change.

Heraclitus

Nothing endures except change; nothing is constant except death. Every heartbeat wounds us, and life would be an eternal bleeding to death, were it not for literature. It grants us what nature does not: a golden time that doesn't rust, a springtime that never wilts, cloudless happiness and eternal youth. [my translation]

Ludwig Borne

Nought endures but change.

Ludwig Borne

Take care, you who wish / to deal with names / for love. Behind their sweetness / and wrath, nothing endures. / Nothing but wounds and kisses.

Hadewijch

All things belonging to the earth will never change-the leaf, the blade, the flower, the wind that cries and sleeps and wakes again, the trees whose stiff arms clash and tremble in the dark, and the dust of lovers long since buried in the earth-all things proceeding from the earth to seasons, all things that lapse and change and come again upon the earth-these things will always be the same, for they come up from the earth that never changes, they go back into the earth that lasts forever. Only the earth endures, but it endures forever.

Thomas Wolfe

Sometimes a legend that endures for centuries... endures for a reason.

Dan Brown

True thoughts have duration in themselves. If the thoughts endure, the seed is enduring; if the seed endures, the energy endures; if the energy endures, then will the spirit endure.

Lu Yen-hsun

Everything is relative in this world, where change alone endures.

Leon Trotsky

Nothing endures, nothing is precise and certain (except the mind of a pedant), perfection is the mere repudiation of that ineluctable marginal inexactitude which is the mysterious inmost quality of Being

H. G. Wells

Nothing endures but personal qualities.

Walt Whitman

Nothing endures except truth.

Luc de Clapiers

Life and death, union and separation, follow hard upon one another. Nothing is steadfast but the will, nothing endures but one's achievements. These alone count in life.
