Well gosh.... they both agree with Heraclitus.

""πάντα χωρεῖ καὶ οὐδὲν μένει" καὶ "δὶς ἐς τὸν αὐτὸν ποταμὸν οὐκ ἂν ἐμβαίης"
Panta chōrei kai ouden menei kai dis es ton auton potamon ouk an embaies
"Everything changes and nothing remains still ... and ... you cannot step twice into the same stream"

He emphasized that the stream changed... but this seems to say that "you" change at the same time as the stream.

It's all very inspiring, but not very pragmatically convincing, as Dr. Samuel Johnson would tell you as he stamped on the ground.
