All Things Cannot Change Continually Except Flow Flowing Nothing Permanent River Same Step Things Twice Waters

Heraclitus
Greek - Philosopher
544 BC - 483 BC

Everything changes but change itself. Everything flows and nothing remains the same... You cannot step twice into the same river, for other waters and yet others go flowing ever on.

Heraclitus

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

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

Nothing remains the same from one moment to the next, you can't step into the same river twice. Life--evolution--the whole universe of space/time, matter/energy--existence itself--is essentially change.

Ursula K. Le Guin

Everything is change; and you cannot step twice into the same river.

Mary Renault

You could not step twice into the same rivers; for other waters are ever flowing on to you.

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?

Dale Carnegie

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

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

Heraclitus

There is nothing in the whole world which abides. All things are in a state of ebb and flow, and every shadow passes away. Even time itself, like a river, is constantly gliding away .

Ovid

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

All things flow, nothing abides.

Heraclitus

You cannot step twice into the same river.

Heraclitus

You cannot step into the same river twice.

Heraclitus

There is nothing permanent except change. Nothing is permanent except change. The only constant is change. Change is the only constant. Change alone is unchanging.

Heraclitus
