Sayings of Heraclitus 1


Though this Word is true evermore, yet men are as unable to understand it when they hear it for the first time, as before they have heard it at all. 

For, though all things come to pass in accordance with this Word, men seem as if they had no experience of them, when they make trial of words and deeds such as I set forth, dividing each thing according to its kind and showing how it truly is. 

But other men know not what they are doing when awake, even as they forget what they do in sleep.
