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 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
Image
There is no such thing as justice in the abstract it is merely a compact between men.
Epicurus
Image
Let nothing be done in your life, which will cause you fear if it becomes known to your neighbor.
Epicurus
Image
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
