`αἰὼν παῖς ἐστι παίζων, πεσσεύων· παιδὸς ἡ βασιληίη •

Eternity is a child at play, playing
draughts: the kingdom is a child’s •

Вечность- дитя играющее, кости бросающее; царство дитя есть •`
Fragment 52 (D-K)

`ὅμοιον εἶναι τῇ ἄκρᾳ, ᾗ διηνεκῶς τὰ
κύματα προσρήσσεται· ἡ δὲ ἕστηκε καὶ
περὶ αὐτὴν κοιμίζεται τὰ φλεγμήναντα
τοῦ ὕδατος •

Be like a headland of rock on which the
waves break incessantly; but it stands
fast and around it the seething of the
waters sinks to rest •`Marcus Aurelius
Τὰ εἰς ἑαυτόν 6.54
• εἶναι - infinitivus pro imperativo

`ἐρωτηθεὶς τί ἐστι φίλος, ἔφη, μία ψυχὴ
δύο σώμασιν ἐνοικοῦσα •

What is a friend? A single soul dwelling in two bodies •`

*Diogenes Laertius, Lives of Eminent Philosophers 5.20.1

Жиза?)*

Life is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, Signifying nothing.ὁ βίος μῦθός ἐστιν ὃς λέγεται ὑπὸ τοῦ ἰδιώτου,
πληρὴς θορύβου καὶ μήνιος•
ὁς` δὴ σημαίνει οὐδέν.

Vita fabula est, quae dicitur a stulto, plena sonitūs et furoris quae nihil significat.

Shakespeare, Macbeth V, 5
