More quotes by Epicurus
Not what we have But what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.
Epicurus
The flesh believes that pleasure is limitless and that it requires unlimited time but the mind, understanding the end and limit of the flesh and ridding itself of fears of the future, secures a complete life and has no longer any need for unlimited time.
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
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
Why should I fear death? If I am, death is not. If death is, I am not. Why should I fear that which can only exist when I do not?
Epicurus
We ought to be thankful to nature for having made those things which are necessary easy to be discovered while other things that are difficult to be known are not necessary.
Epicurus
Any man who does not think that what he has is more than ample, is an unhappy man, even if he is the master of the whole world.
Epicurus
The things you really need are few and easy to come by but the things you can imagine you need are infinite, and you will never be satisfied.
Epicurus
He who has peace of mind disturbs neither himself nor another.
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
Haec ego non multis (scribo), sed tibi: satis enim magnum alter alteri theatrum sumus. I am writing this not to many, but to you: certainly we are a great enough audience for each other.
Epicurus
A blessed and indestructible being has no trouble himself and brings no trouble upon any other being so he is free from anger and partiality, for all such things imply weakness.
Epicurus
The knowledge of sin is the beginning of salvation.
Epicurus
My garden does not whet the appetite it satisfies it. It does not provoke thirst through heedless indulgence, but slakes it by proffering its natural remedy. Amid such pleasures as these have I grown old.
Epicurus
Nothing is sufficient for the person who finds sufficiency too little
Epicurus
Being happy is knowing how to be content with little
Epicurus
Pleasure is the beginning and the end of living happily.
Epicurus
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?
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
Pleasure is the first good. It is the beginning of every choice and every aversion. It is the absence of pain in the body and of troubles in the soul.
Epicurus
