Epicurus

Epicurus
Death is meaningless to the living because they are living, and meaningless to the dead… because they are dead.
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
In a philosophical dispute, he gains most who is defeated, since he learns most.
Epicurus
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
Any device whatever by which one frees himself from the fear of others is a natural good.
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
Tranquil pleasure constitutes human beings' supreme good
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
