It is impossible for someone to dispel his fears about the most important matters if he doesn't know the nature of the universe but still gives some credence to myths. So without the study of nature there is no enjoyment of pure pleasure.

More quotes by 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

Epicurus
Virtue consisteth of three parts,--temperance, fortitude, and justice.
Epicurus
The fool’s life is empty of gratitude and full of fears its course lies wholly toward the future.
Epicurus
Being happy is knowing how to be content with little
Epicurus
When we say that pleasure is the end, we do not mean the pleasure of the profligate or that which depends on physical enjoyment--as some think who do not understand our teachings, disagree with them, or give them an evil interpretation--but by pleasure we mean the state wherein the body is free from pain and the mind from anxiety.
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
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.
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

Of all the means to insure happiness throughout the whole life, by far the most important is the acquisition of friends.
Epicurus
If you wish to make Pythocles rich, do not add to his store of money, but subtract from his desires.
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
The wise man neither rejects life nor fears death... just as he does not necessarily choose the largest amount of food, but, rather, the pleasantest food, so he prefers not the longest time, but the most pleasant.
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
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
He who has peace of mind disturbs neither himself nor another.
Epicurus
The wise man who has become accustomed to necessities knows better how to share with others than how to take from them, so great a treasure of self-sufficiency has he found.
Epicurus
Be moderate in order to taste the joys of life in abundance.
Epicurus
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Epicurus
