To be rich is not the end, but only a change, of worries.
Epicurus
Image
It is better for you to be free of fear lying upon a pallet, than to have a golden couch and a rich table and be full of trouble.

Necessity is an evil but there is no necessity for continuing to live subject to necessity.
Epicurus

Epicurus
Image
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
Image
There is nothing terrible in life for the man who realizes there is nothing terrible in death.
Epicurus
Image
Most men are in a coma when they are at rest and mad when they act.
Epicurus
Image
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
Image
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Epicurus
Image
All friendship is desirable in itself, though it starts from the need of help
Epicurus
Image
Of all the means to insure happiness throughout the whole life, by far the most important is the acquisition of friends.
Epicurus
Image
It is folly for a man to pray to the gods for that which he has the power to obtain by himself.
Epicurus
