Democritus Quotes

Everything existing in the universe is the fruit of chance and necessity.

Many much-learned men have no intelligence.

No power and no treasure can outweigh the extension of our knowledge.

Nothing exists except atoms and empty space; everything else is opinion.

Everywhere man blames nature and fate, yet his fate is mostly but the echo of his character and passions, his mistakes and weaknesses.

To a wise and good man the whole earth is his fatherland.
