More quotes by Epicurus

Image
The wise man neither rejects life nor fears death... just as he does not necessarily choose the largest amount of food, but, rather, the pleasantest food, so he prefers not the longest time, but the most pleasant.
Epicurus
Image
But the universe is infinite.
Epicurus
Image
Pleasure is the first good. It is the beginning of every choice and every aversion. It is the absence of pain in the body and of troubles in the soul.
Epicurus
Image
Men are so thoughtless, nay, so mad, that some, through fear of death, force themselves to die.
Epicurus
Image
Not what we have But what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.
Epicurus
Image
In a philosophical dispute, he gains most who is defeated, since he learns most.
Epicurus
Image
It is impossible for someone to dispel his fears about the most important matters if he doesn't know the nature of the universe but still gives some credence to myths. So without the study of nature there is no enjoyment of pure pleasure.
Epicurus
Image
The misfortune of the wise is better than the prosperity of the fool.
Epicurus
Image
Luxurious food and drinks, in no way protect you from harm. Wealth beyond what is natural, is no more use than an overflowing container. Real value is not generated by theaters, and baths, perfumes or ointments, but by philosophy.
Epicurus
Image
Haec ego non multis (scribo), sed tibi: satis enim magnum alter alteri theatrum sumus. I am writing this not to many, but to you: certainly we are a great enough audience for each other.
Epicurus

If you wish to make Pythocles rich, do not add to his store of money, but subtract from his desires.
Epicurus
Image
The guilty man may escape, but he cannot be sure of doing so.
Epicurus
Image
The magnitude of pleasure reaches its limit in the removal of all pain. When such pleasure is present, so long as it is uninterrupted, there is no pain either of body or of mind or of both together.
Epicurus
Image
He who has peace of mind disturbs neither himself nor another.
Epicurus
Image
Pleasure is the beginning and the end of living happily. Epicurus taught: Pleasure, defined as freedom from pain, is the highest good.
Epicurus
Image
The term incorporeal is properly applied only to the void, which cannot act or be acted on. Since the soul can act and be acted upon, it is corporeal.
Epicurus
Image
As if they were our own handiwork we place a high value on our characters.
Epicurus
Image
Launch your boat, blessed youth, and flee at full speed from every form of culture.
Epicurus
Image
He who is not satisfied with a little, is satisfied with nothing .
