More quotes by Epicurus
Of all the means to insure happiness throughout the whole life, by far the most important is the acquisition of friends.
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
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
The fool, with all his other faults, has this also, he is always getting ready to live.
Epicurus
There is nothing to fear from gods, There is nothing to feel in death, Good can be attained, Evil can be endured.
Epicurus
If you wish to make Pythocles rich, do not add to his store of money, but subtract from his desires.
Epicurus
Not what we have But what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.
Epicurus
It is folly for a man to pray to the gods for that which he has the power to obtain by himself.
Epicurus
Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not.
Epicurus
Luxurious food and drinks, in no way protect you from harm. Wealth beyond what is natural, is no more use than an overflowing container. Real value is not generated by theaters, and baths, perfumes or ointments, but by philosophy.
Epicurus
Justice is never anything in itself, but in the dealings of men with one another in any place whatever and at any time. It is a kind of compact not to harm or be harmed.
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
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
Only the just man enjoys peace of mind.
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
I would rather be first in a little Iberian village than second in Rome.
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
All sensations are true pleasure is our natural goal.
Epicurus
Empty is the argument of the philosopher which does not relieve any human suffering.
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
