More quotes by Epicurus
Empty is the argument of the philosopher which does not relieve any human suffering.
Epicurus

Epicurus
Let nothing be done in your life, which will cause you fear if it becomes known to your neighbor.
Epicurus
There is nothing to fear from gods, There is nothing to feel in death, Good can be attained, Evil can be endured.

Epicurus
As if they were our own handiwork we place a high value on our characters.
Epicurus
Men, believing in myths, will always fear something terrible, everlasting punishment as certain or probable . . . Men base all these fears not on mature opinions, but on irrational fancies, that they are more disturbed by fear of the unknown than by facing facts. Peace of mind lies in being delivered from all these fears.
Epicurus
What will happen to me if that which this desire seeks is achieved, and what if it is not?
Epicurus
Luxurious food and drinks, in no way protect you from harm. Wealth beyond what is natural, is no more use than an overflowing container. Real value is not generated by theaters, and baths, perfumes or ointments, but by philosophy.
Epicurus
What men fear is not that death is annihilation but that it is not.
Epicurus
