More quotes by 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
A man who causes fear cannot be free from fear.
Epicurus
My garden does not whet the appetite it satisfies it. It does not provoke thirst through heedless indulgence, but slakes it by proffering its natural remedy. Amid such pleasures as these have I grown old.
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
A blessed and indestructible being has no trouble himself and brings no trouble upon any other being so he is free from anger and partiality, for all such things imply weakness.
Epicurus
As if they were our own handiwork we place a high value on our characters.
Epicurus
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
Epicurus
Being happy is knowing how to be content with little
Epicurus
But the universe is infinite.
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
The misfortune of the wise is better than the prosperity of the fool.
Epicurus
Only the just man enjoys peace of mind.
Epicurus
We ought to be thankful to nature for having made those things which are necessary easy to be discovered while other things that are difficult to be known are not necessary.
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
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Epicurus
The guilty man may escape, but he cannot be sure of doing so.
Epicurus
The knowledge of sin is the beginning of salvation.
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
Nothing is enough for the man to whom enough is too little.
Epicurus
Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search of it when he has grown old. For no age is too early or too late for the health of the soul.
Epicurus
