Luxurious food and drinks, in no way protect you from harm. Wealth beyond what is natural, is no more use than an overflowing container. Real value is not generated by theaters, and baths, perfumes or ointments, but by philosophy.

More quotes by Epicurus
All sensations are true pleasure is our natural goal.
Epicurus
Virtue consisteth of three parts,--temperance, fortitude, and justice.
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
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
He who has peace of mind disturbs neither himself nor another.
Epicurus
There is nothing to fear from gods, There is nothing to feel in death, Good can be attained, Evil can be endured.
Epicurus
What men fear is not that death is annihilation but that it is not.
Epicurus
Launch your boat, blessed youth, and flee at full speed from every form of culture.
Epicurus
Nothing is sufficient for the person who finds sufficiency too little
Epicurus
The flesh believes that pleasure is limitless and that it requires unlimited time but the mind, understanding the end and limit of the flesh and ridding itself of fears of the future, secures a complete life and has no longer any need for unlimited time.
Epicurus
Pleasure is the beginning and the end of living happily. Epicurus taught: Pleasure, defined as freedom from pain, is the highest good.
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
I would rather be first in a little Iberian village than second in Rome.
Epicurus
Of all the means to insure happiness throughout the whole life, by far the most important is the acquisition of friends.
Epicurus
Only the just man enjoys peace of mind.
Epicurus
As if they were our own handiwork we place a high value on our characters.
Epicurus
The summit of pleasure is the elimination of all that gives pain.
Epicurus
Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not.
Epicurus
The mind that is much elevated and insolent with prosperity, and cast down with adversity, is generally abject and base.
Epicurus
Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search of it when he has grown old. For no age is too early or too late for the health of the soul.
Epicurus
