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.

More quotes by 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
Justice is never anything in itself, but in the dealings of men with one another in any place whatever and at any time. It is a kind of compact not to harm or be harmed.
Epicurus
If God listened to the prayers of men, all men would quickly have perished: for they are forever praying for evil against one another.
Epicurus
To be rich is not the end, but only a change, of worries.
Epicurus
All sensations are true pleasure is our natural goal.
Epicurus
When someone admits one and rejects another which is equally in accordance with the appearances, it is clear that he has quitted all physical explanation and descended into myth.
Epicurus
Pleasure is the beginning and the end of living happily.
Epicurus
Most men are in a coma when they are at rest and mad when they act.
Epicurus
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
He who doesn't find a little enough will find nothing enough.
Epicurus
Men are so thoughtless, nay, so mad, that some, through fear of death, force themselves to die.
Epicurus
Let no young man delay the study of philosophy, and let no old man become weary of it for it is never too early nor too late to care for the well-being of the soul.
Epicurus
There is nothing terrible in life for the man who realizes there is nothing terrible in death.
Epicurus
But the universe is infinite.
Epicurus
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
The mind that is much elevated and insolent with prosperity, and cast down with adversity, is generally abject and base.
Epicurus
What will happen to me if that which this desire seeks is achieved, and what if it is not?
Epicurus
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.
Epicurus
The fool’s life is empty of gratitude and full of fears its course lies wholly toward the future.
Epicurus
There are infinite worlds both like and unlike this world of ours. For the atoms being infinite in number... are borne on far out into space.
Epicurus
