Epicurus
Nothing is sufficient for the person who finds sufficiency too little
Epicurus

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
The fool’s life is empty of gratitude and full of fears its course lies wholly toward the future.

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
But the universe is infinite.
Epicurus
