“People do not know how what is at variance agrees with itself. It is an attunement of opposite tensions, like that of the bow and the lyre.”

“All things are in flux; the flux is subject to a unifying measure or rational principle. This principle (logos, the hidden harmony behind all change) bound opposites together in a unified tension, which is like that of a lyre, where a stable harmonious sound emerges from the tension of the opposing forces that arise from the bow bound together by the string.”

“What opposes unites, and the finest attunement stems from things bearing in opposite directions, and all things come about by strife.”

“Opposition brings concord. Out of discord comes the fairest harmony.”

“Other men are unaware of what they do when they are awake just as they are forgetful of what they do when they are asleep.”

“How can you hide from what never goes away?”

“The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you choose, what you think and what you do is who you become.”
