Quotes from Heraclitus (circa 500 BC)

Heraclitus was a pre Socratic Greek philosopher who lived in Ephesus, which was then under Persian rule.
Here are some quotes attributed to Heraclitus:

Lightning pervades the cosmos

Incredulity prevents knowledge of the celestial

Expect the unexpected

Fire is primal

Only change persists

The Sun is new each day

Everything flows

All comes from one and one comes from all

The way up and the way down are the same

Good and evil are one
