Image
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
Image
All other love is extinguished by self-love beneficence, humanity, justice, philosophy, sink under it.
Epicurus
Image
The pleasant life is not produced by continual drinking and dancing, nor sexual intercourse, nor rare dishes of sea food and other delicacies of a luxurious table. On the contrary, it is produced by sober reasoning which examines the motives for every choice and avoidance, driving away beliefs which are the source of mental disturbances.

Where I am death is not, where death is I am not.

Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
Epicurus
Image
Haec ego non multis (scribo), sed tibi: satis enim magnum alter alteri theatrum sumus. I am writing this not to many, but to you: certainly we are a great enough audience for each other.
Epicurus
Image
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.

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
Image
Without confidence, there is no friendship.
Epicurus
Image
To eat and drink without a friend is to devour like the lion and the wolf.
Epicurus
Image
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
Image
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
Image
What will happen to me if that which this desire seeks is achieved, and what if it is not?
Epicurus
Image
The art of living well and the art of dying well are one.
Epicurus
Image
Not what we have But what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.
Epicurus
Image
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
Image
It is impossible for someone to dispel his fears about the most important matters if he doesn't know the nature of the universe but still gives some credence to myths. So without the study of nature there is no enjoyment of pure pleasure.

Death is nothing to us: for that which is dissolved is without sensation and that which lacks sensation is nothing to us.
