Nothing Lasts Quotes

All things flow, nothing abides.

I'm saying with very few exceptions nothing lasts forever, and among those exceptions, no work or thought of man is numbered.

Nothing is permanent. Not even the end of the world.

The deeds of men, as footprints in the desert. Nothing under the circling moons is fated to last. Even the sun goes down.

'Never' is too much of a word. Nothing lasts forever.

In this flowing stream, then, on which there is no abiding, what is there of the things which hurry by on which a man would set a high price? It would be just as if a man should fall in love with one of the sparrows which fly by, but it has already passed out of sight.

The hardest thing for me is the sense of impermanence. All passes; nothing returns.
