More quotes by Epicurus

Epicurus

Epicurus
The mind that is much elevated and insolent with prosperity, and cast down with adversity, is generally abject and base.
Epicurus

Epicurus

Epicurus

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
Death is nothing to us: for after our bodies have been dissolved by death they are without sensation, and that which lacks sensation is nothing to us. And therefore a right understanding of death makes mortality enjoyable, not because it adds to an infinite span of time, but because it takes away the craving for immortality.
Epicurus
Most men are in a coma when they are at rest and mad when they act.
Epicurus
Earthquakes may be brought about because wind is caught up in the earth, so the earth is dislocated in small masses and is continually shaken, and that causes it to sway.
Epicurus
Man was not intended by nature to live in communities and be civilized.
Epicurus
