Justice is never anything in itself, but in the dealings of men with one another in any place whatever and at any time. It is a kind of compact not to harm or be harmed.

More quotes by Epicurus
Virtue consisteth of three parts,--temperance, fortitude, and justice.
Epicurus
He who is not satisfied with a little, is satisfied with nothing .
Epicurus
The mind that is much elevated and insolent with prosperity, and cast down with adversity, is generally abject and base.
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
Nothing is enough for the man to whom enough is too little.
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
What men fear is not that death is annihilation but that it is not.
Epicurus
It is better for you to be free of fear lying upon a pallet, than to have a golden couch and a rich table and be full of trouble.
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
Being happy is knowing how to be content with little
Epicurus
Men are so thoughtless, nay, so mad, that some, through fear of death, force themselves to die.
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
Not what we have But what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.
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
If you wish to make Pythocles rich, do not add to his store of money, but subtract from his desires.
Epicurus
Be moderate in order to taste the joys of life in abundance.
Epicurus
So death, the most terrifying of ills, is nothing to us, since so long as we exist, death is not with us but when death comes, then we do not exist. It does not then concern either the living or the dead, since for the former it is not, and the latter are no more.
Epicurus
Of all the means to insure happiness throughout the whole life, by far the most important is the acquisition of friends.
Epicurus
Don't fear god, Don't worry about death What is good is easy to get, and What is terrible is easy to endure
Epicurus
A man who causes fear cannot be free from fear.
Epicurus
