More quotes by Epicurus
What will happen to me if that which this desire seeks is achieved, and what if it is not?
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
Why should I fear death? If I am, death is not. If death is, I am not. Why should I fear that which can only exist when I do not?
Epicurus
Any man who does not think that what he has is more than ample, is an unhappy man, even if he is the master of the whole world.
Epicurus
Death is meaningless to the living because they are living, and meaningless to the dead… because they are dead.
Epicurus
Tranquil pleasure constitutes human beings' supreme good
Epicurus
All friendship is desirable in itself, though it starts from the need of help
Epicurus
The fool’s life is empty of gratitude and full of fears its course lies wholly toward the future.
Epicurus
When we say that pleasure is the end, we do not mean the pleasure of the profligate or that which depends on physical enjoyment--as some think who do not understand our teachings, disagree with them, or give them an evil interpretation--but by pleasure we mean the state wherein the body is free from pain and the mind from anxiety.
Epicurus
Virtue consisteth of three parts,--temperance, fortitude, and justice.
Epicurus
Gratitude is a virtue that has commonly profit annexed to it.
Epicurus
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Epicurus
Some men spend their whole life furnishing for themselves the things proper to life without realizing that at our birth each of us was poured a mortal brew to drink.
Epicurus
There is nothing to fear from gods, There is nothing to feel in death, Good can be attained, Evil can be endured.
Epicurus
All sensations are true pleasure is our natural goal.
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
The things you really need are few and easy to come by but the things you can imagine you need are infinite, and you will never be satisfied.
Epicurus
The art of living well and the art of dying well are one.
Epicurus
Nothing is sufficient for the person who finds sufficiency too little
Epicurus
So death, the most terrifying of ills, is nothing to us, since so long as we exist, death is not with us but when death comes, then we do not exist. It does not then concern either the living or the dead, since for the former it is not, and the latter are no more.
Epicurus
