Epicurus
He who doesn't find a little enough will find nothing enough.
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
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
We have been born once and there can be no second birth. Fir all eternity we shall no longer be. But you, although you are not master of tomorrow, are postponing your happiness.
