More quotes by 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
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
Let nothing be done in your life, which will cause you fear if it becomes known to your neighbor.
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

Epicurus
There is nothing to fear from gods, There is nothing to feel in death, Good can be attained, Evil can be endured.
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
Pleasure is the first good. It is the beginning of every choice and every aversion. It is the absence of pain in the body and of troubles in 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
He who doesn't find a little enough will find nothing enough.
Epicurus
Launch your boat, blessed youth, and flee at full speed from every form of culture.
Epicurus
Death is meaningless to the living because they are living, and meaningless to the dead… because they are dead.
Epicurus
Earthquakes may be brought about because wind is caught up in the earth, so the earth is dislocated in small masses and is continually shaken, and that causes it to sway.
Epicurus
The art of living well and the art of dying well are one.
Epicurus
The fool, with all his other faults, has this also, he is always getting ready to live.
Epicurus
