Earth Quote by Avicenna
“It is in the nature of water ... to become transformed into earth through a predominating earthy virtue; ... it is in the nature of earth to become transformed into water through a predominating aqueous virtue.”
“It is in the nature of water ... to become transformed into earth through a predominating earthy virtue; ... it is in the nature of earth to become transformed into water through a predominating aqueous virtue.”
![“Pure earth does not petrify, because the predominance of dryness over [i.e. in] the earth endows it not with coherence but rather with crumbliness. In general, stone is formed in two ways only (a) through the hardening of clay, and (b) by the congelation [of waters].” quote by Avicenna](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/4b0/avicenna-19211_clay_pure-earth-does-not-petrify-because-the_878916.jpg)
