More quotes by Epicurus
The pleasant life is not produced by continual drinking and dancing, nor sexual intercourse, nor rare dishes of sea food and other delicacies of a luxurious table. On the contrary, it is produced by sober reasoning which examines the motives for every choice and avoidance, driving away beliefs which are the source of mental disturbances.
Epicurus
No pleasure is evil in itself but the means by which certain pleasures are gained bring pains many times greater than the pleasures.
Epicurus
The knowledge of sin is the beginning of salvation.
Epicurus
Without confidence, there is no friendship.
Epicurus
All sensations are true pleasure is our natural goal.
Epicurus
I would rather be first in a little Iberian village than second in Rome.
Epicurus
Don't fear god, Don't worry about death What is good is easy to get, and What is terrible is easy to endure
Epicurus
Not what we have But what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.
Epicurus
Pleasure is the beginning and the end of living happily.
Epicurus
Death is meaningless to the living because they are living, and meaningless to the dead… because they are dead.
Epicurus
Injustice is not evil in itself, but only in the fear and apprehension that one will not escape those who have been set up to punish the offense.
Epicurus
Let no young man delay the study of philosophy, and let no old man become weary of it for it is never too early nor too late to care for the well-being of the soul.
Epicurus
Justice is never anything in itself, but in the dealings of men with one another in any place whatever and at any time. It is a kind of compact not to harm or be harmed.
Epicurus
Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search of it when he has grown old. For no age is too early or too late for the health of the soul.
Epicurus
The guilty man may escape, but he cannot be sure of doing so.
Epicurus
Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist.
Epicurus
Death, the most dreaded of evils, is therefore of no concern to us for while we exist death is not present, and when death is present we no longer exist.
Epicurus
Fortune seldom troubles the wise man. Reason has controlled his greatest and most important affairs, controls them throughout his life, and will continue to control them.
Epicurus
Necessity is an evil but there is no necessity for continuing to live subject to necessity.
Epicurus
Earthquakes may be brought about because wind is caught up in the earth, so the earth is dislocated in small masses and is continually shaken, and that causes it to sway.
Epicurus
