Epicurus
Death is nothing to us: for that which is dissolved is without sensation and that which lacks sensation is nothing to us.

Epicurus

Epicurus
We ought to be thankful to nature for having made those things which are necessary easy to be discovered while other things that are difficult to be known are not necessary.
Epicurus
Men, believing in myths, will always fear something terrible, everlasting punishment as certain or probable . . . Men base all these fears not on mature opinions, but on irrational fancies, that they are more disturbed by fear of the unknown than by facing facts. Peace of mind lies in being delivered from all these fears.
Epicurus
Let nothing be done in your life, which will cause you fear if it becomes known to your neighbor.
Epicurus
