More quotes by Epicurus
All other love is extinguished by self-love beneficence, humanity, justice, philosophy, sink under it.
Epicurus
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
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
Any man who does not think that what he has is more than ample, is an unhappy man, even if he is the master of the whole world.
Epicurus
What men fear is not that death is annihilation but that it is not.
Epicurus
Death is nothing to us: for that which is dissolved is without sensation and that which lacks sensation is nothing to us.
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
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
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
There is no such thing as justice in the abstract it is merely a compact between men.
Epicurus
We should look for someone to eat and drink with before looking for something to eat and drink.
Epicurus
To be rich is not the end, but only a change, of worries.
Epicurus
What will happen to me if that which this desire seeks is achieved, and what if it is not?
Epicurus
I have never wished to cater to the crowd for what I know they do not approve, and what they approve I do not know.
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
If you wish to make Pythocles rich, do not add to his store of money, but subtract from his desires.
Epicurus
The term incorporeal is properly applied only to the void, which cannot act or be acted on. Since the soul can act and be acted upon, it is corporeal.
Epicurus
There is nothing to fear from gods, There is nothing to feel in death, Good can be attained, Evil can be endured.
Epicurus
Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist.
Epicurus
The pleasant life is not produced by continual drinking and dancing, nor sexual intercourse, nor rare dishes of sea food and other delicacies of a luxurious table. On the contrary, it is produced by sober reasoning which examines the motives for every choice and avoidance, driving away beliefs which are the source of mental disturbances.
