" the hidden unity is better than the visible

57 Good and evil are the same.

56 the harmony of the world is the harmony of oppositions.

59 unite whole and part, agreement and disagreement, discord and accord. From one comes all and all one. 60 They would not know the name of justice were it not for these things.

by strife all things arise and are used.

there is only one supreme wisdom. it wills and wills not to be called zeus.

immortals are mortal, mortals, immortal, living in their death and dying in their life.

The way upward and downward are one and the same.

The beginning and end are one.

The limits of the soul you shall not find out though you should traverse every way.

Those who speak with intelligence must speak what is common to all, for all human laws are united by one divine law.

Man understands the deity as much and little as the child understands the man.

Self control is the highest wisdom, and wisdom is to know truth and consciously to act in accord with nature.

it is better to conceal ignorance than expose it.

A stupid man loves to be puzzled by every discourse.

A man's character is his demon. "
