More quotes by Epicurus
The misfortune of the wise is better than the prosperity of the fool.
Epicurus
Let no young man delay the study of philosophy, and let no old man become weary of it for it is never too early nor too late to care for the well-being of the soul.
Epicurus
Death, the most dreaded of evils, is therefore of no concern to us for while we exist death is not present, and when death is present we no longer exist.
Epicurus
The knowledge of sin is the beginning of salvation.
Epicurus
The term incorporeal is properly applied only to the void, which cannot act or be acted on. Since the soul can act and be acted upon, it is corporeal.
Epicurus
The fool, with all his other faults, has this also, he is always getting ready to live.
Epicurus
There is nothing terrible in life for the man who realizes there is nothing terrible in death.
Epicurus
The magnitude of pleasure reaches its limit in the removal of all pain. When such pleasure is present, so long as it is uninterrupted, there is no pain either of body or of mind or of both together.
Epicurus
Pleasure is the beginning and the end of living happily.
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
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
All other love is extinguished by self-love beneficence, humanity, justice, philosophy, sink under it.
Epicurus
Misfortune seldom intrudes upon the wise man his greatest and highest interests are directed by reason throughout the course of life.
Epicurus
Be moderate in order to taste the joys of life in abundance.
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
He who doesn't find a little enough will find nothing enough.
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
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
If God listened to the prayers of men, all men would quickly have perished: for they are forever praying for evil against one another.
Epicurus
It is folly for a man to pray to the gods for that which he has the power to obtain by himself.
Epicurus
