More quotes by Epicurus
We should look for someone to eat and drink with before looking for something to eat and drink.
Epicurus
He who doesn't find a little enough will find nothing enough.
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
The guilty man may escape, but he cannot be sure of doing so.
Epicurus
Pleasure is the beginning and the end of living happily.
Epicurus
Death is nothing to us: for after our bodies have been dissolved by death they are without sensation, and that which lacks sensation is nothing to us. And therefore a right understanding of death makes mortality enjoyable, not because it adds to an infinite span of time, but because it takes away the craving for immortality.
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
To be rich is not the end, but only a change, of worries.
Epicurus
He who has peace of mind disturbs neither himself nor another.
Epicurus
A man who causes fear cannot be free from fear.
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
Most men are in a coma when they are at rest and mad when they act.
Epicurus
The flesh believes that pleasure is limitless and that it requires unlimited time but the mind, understanding the end and limit of the flesh and ridding itself of fears of the future, secures a complete life and has no longer any need for unlimited time.
Epicurus
Launch your boat, blessed youth, and flee at full speed from every form of culture.
Epicurus
Any device whatever by which one frees himself from the fear of others is a natural good.
Epicurus
Necessity is an evil but there is no necessity for continuing to live subject to necessity.
Epicurus
We must, therefore, pursue the things that make for happiness, seeing that when happiness is present, we have everything but when it is absent, we do everything to possess it.
Epicurus
There is nothing to fear from gods, There is nothing to feel in death, Good can be attained, Evil can be endured.
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
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
