More quotes by Epicurus
Injustice is not evil in itself, but only in the fear and apprehension that one will not escape those who have been set up to punish the offense.
Epicurus
Being happy is knowing how to be content with little
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
To be rich is not the end, but only a change, of worries.
Epicurus
Launch your boat, blessed youth, and flee at full speed from every form of culture.
Epicurus

Epicurus

Epicurus
He who doesn't find a little enough will find nothing enough.
Epicurus
Some men spend their whole life furnishing for themselves the things proper to life without realizing that at our birth each of us was poured a mortal brew to drink.
Epicurus
There is no such thing as justice in the abstract it is merely a compact between men.
Epicurus
Nothing is sufficient for the person who finds sufficiency too little
Epicurus
Any device whatever by which one frees himself from the fear of others is a natural good.
Epicurus
The summit of pleasure is the elimination of all that gives pain.
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.
Epicurus
