Epicurus
Image
The summit of pleasure is the elimination of all that gives pain.
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

Be moderate in order to taste the joys of life in abundance.
Epicurus
Image
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
Epicurus
Image
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
Image
There is nothing to fear from gods, There is nothing to feel in death, Good can be attained, Evil can be endured.
Epicurus
