Image
There is nothing to fear from gods, There is nothing to feel in death, Good can be attained, Evil can be endured.
Epicurus
Image
Death is meaningless to the living because they are living, and meaningless to the dead… because they are dead.
Epicurus
Image
What men fear is not that death is annihilation but that it is not.
Epicurus
Image
If God listened to the prayers of men, all men would quickly have perished: for they are forever praying for evil against one another.
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
No pleasure is evil in itself but the means by which certain pleasures are gained bring pains many times greater than the pleasures.
Epicurus
Image
There is no such thing as justice in the abstract it is merely a compact between men.
Epicurus

A man who causes fear cannot be free from fear.
Epicurus

Virtue consisteth of three parts,--temperance, fortitude, and justice.
Epicurus
Image
Where I am death is not, where death is I am not.
Epicurus
Image
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
Image
Man was not intended by nature to live in communities and be civilized.
Epicurus
Image
Being happy is knowing how to be content with little
Epicurus
Image
Only the just man enjoys peace of mind.
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
Misfortune seldom intrudes upon the wise man his greatest and highest interests are directed by reason throughout the course of life.
Epicurus
Image
All other love is extinguished by self-love beneficence, humanity, justice, philosophy, sink under it.
Epicurus
Image
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Epicurus
Image
It is possible to provide security against other ills, but as far as death is concerned, we men live in a city without walls.
Epicurus
Image
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
