Epicurus
Men are so thoughtless, nay, so mad, that some, through fear of death, force themselves to die.
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
Death is meaningless to the living because they are living, and meaningless to the dead… because they are dead.
Epicurus
Virtue consisteth of three parts,--temperance, fortitude, and justice.
Epicurus
All sensations are true pleasure is our natural goal.
Epicurus
In a philosophical dispute, he gains most who is defeated, since he learns most.
