More quotes by Epicurus
Virtue consisteth of three parts,--temperance, fortitude, and justice.
Epicurus
Not what we have But what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.
Epicurus

Epicurus
Nothing is enough for the man to whom enough is too little.
Epicurus

Epicurus

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
There is no such thing as justice in the abstract it is merely a compact between men.
Epicurus

Epicurus
I was not I have been I am not I do not mind.
Epicurus
The things you really need are few and easy to come by but the things you can imagine you need are infinite, and you will never be satisfied.
Epicurus
He who doesn't find a little enough will find nothing enough.
Epicurus
Injustice is not evil in itself, but only in the fear and apprehension that one will not escape those who have been set up to punish the offense.
Epicurus
The misfortune of the wise is better than the prosperity of the fool.
Epicurus
