For all things come from earth, and all things end by becoming earth.

This upper limit, of earth at our feet is visible and touches the air, but below it reaches to infinity

If oxen and lions had hands and could paint with their hands and produce works of art, as men do, horses would paint the forms of the gods likes horses and oxen like oxen. Each would represent them with bodies according to the bodies of each. So the Ethiopians make their gods black and snub-nosed; the Thracians give theirs red hair and blue eyes.

There is one God - supreme among gods and men - who is like mortals in neither body nor mind.

The gods did not reveal, from the beginning, all things to us.

It isn't right to judge strength as better than good wisdom.
