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
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
I have never wished to cater to the crowd for what I know they do not approve, and what they approve I do not know.
Epicurus
The wise man who has become accustomed to necessities knows better how to share with others than how to take from them, so great a treasure of self-sufficiency has he found.
Epicurus
Empty is the argument of the philosopher which does not relieve any human suffering.
Epicurus
Pleasure is the beginning and the end of living happily. Epicurus taught: Pleasure, defined as freedom from pain, is the highest good.
Epicurus
Without confidence, there is no friendship.
Epicurus
The fool’s life is empty of gratitude and full of fears its course lies wholly toward the future.
Epicurus
We should look for someone to eat and drink with before looking for something to eat and drink.
Epicurus
We have been born once and there can be no second birth. Fir all eternity we shall no longer be. But you, although you are not master of tomorrow, are postponing your happiness.
Epicurus
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
Epicurus
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Epicurus
He who doesn't find a little enough will find nothing enough.
Epicurus
Nothing is enough for the man to whom enough is too little.
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
Death is nothing to us: for that which is dissolved is without sensation and that which lacks sensation is nothing to us.
Epicurus
I never desired to please the rabble. What pleased them, I did not learn and what I knew was far removed from their understanding.
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
Only the just man enjoys peace of mind.
Epicurus
Be moderate in order to taste the joys of life in abundance.
Epicurus
