More quotes by Epicurus
If God listened to the prayers of men, all men would quickly have perished: for they are forever praying for evil against one another.
Epicurus
The pleasant life is not produced by continual drinking and dancing, nor sexual intercourse, nor rare dishes of sea food and other delicacies of a luxurious table. On the contrary, it is produced by sober reasoning which examines the motives for every choice and avoidance, driving away beliefs which are the source of mental disturbances.
Epicurus
I would rather be first in a little Iberian village than second in Rome.
Epicurus
He who has peace of mind disturbs neither himself nor another.
Epicurus
The wise man who has become accustomed to necessities knows better how to share with others than how to take from them, so great a treasure of self-sufficiency has he found.
Epicurus
He who doesn't find a little enough will find nothing enough.
Epicurus
There is no such thing as justice or injustice among those beasts that cannot make agreements not to injure or be injured. This is also true of those tribes that are unable or unwilling to make agreements not to injure or be injured.
Epicurus
Any device whatever by which one frees himself from the fear of others is a natural good.
Epicurus

Epicurus
Men are so thoughtless, nay, so mad, that some, through fear of death, force themselves to die.
Epicurus

Epicurus
The guilty man may escape, but he cannot be sure of doing so.
Epicurus
Most men are in a coma when they are at rest and mad when they act.
Epicurus
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
It is impossible for someone to dispel his fears about the most important matters if he doesn't know the nature of the universe but still gives some credence to myths. So without the study of nature there is no enjoyment of pure pleasure.
Epicurus
The fool, with all his other faults, has this also, he is always getting ready to live.
Epicurus
We must, therefore, pursue the things that make for happiness, seeing that when happiness is present, we have everything but when it is absent, we do everything to possess it.
Epicurus
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
Epicurus
The mind that is much elevated and insolent with prosperity, and cast down with adversity, is generally abject and base.
Epicurus
