What men fear is not that death is annihilation but that it is not.
Epicurus
The knowledge of sin is the beginning of salvation.
Epicurus
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
It is folly for a man to pray to the gods for that which he has the power to obtain by himself.
Epicurus
In a philosophical dispute, he gains most who is defeated, since he learns most.
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
We should look for someone to eat and drink with before looking for something to eat and drink.
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
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
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
Being happy is knowing how to be content with little
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
Pleasure is the beginning and the end of living happily. Epicurus taught: Pleasure, defined as freedom from pain, is the highest good.
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
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
To eat and drink without a friend is to devour like the lion and the wolf.
Epicurus
No pleasure is evil in itself but the means by which certain pleasures are gained bring pains many times greater than the pleasures.
Epicurus
Fortune seldom troubles the wise man. Reason has controlled his greatest and most important affairs, controls them throughout his life, and will continue to control them.
Epicurus
Why should I fear death? If I am, death is not. If death is, I am not. Why should I fear that which can only exist when I do not?
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
