More quotes by Epicurus
To be rich is not the end, but only a change, of worries.
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
Be moderate in order to taste the joys of life in abundance.
Epicurus
He who is not satisfied with a little, is satisfied with nothing .
Epicurus
It is possible to provide security against other ills, but as far as death is concerned, we men live in a city without walls.
Epicurus
Any device whatever by which one frees himself from the fear of others is a natural good.
Epicurus
Let no young man delay the study of philosophy, and let no old man become weary of it for it is never too early nor too late to care for the well-being of the soul.
Epicurus
Virtue consisteth of three parts,--temperance, fortitude, and justice.
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
Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search of it when he has grown old. For no age is too early or too late for the health of the soul.
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
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
Where I am death is not, where death is I am not.
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
But the universe is infinite.
Epicurus
Let nothing be done in your life, which will cause you fear if it becomes known to your neighbor.
Epicurus
To eat and drink without a friend is to devour like the lion and the wolf.
Epicurus
We should look for someone to eat and drink with before looking for something to eat and drink.
Epicurus
The art of living well and the art of dying well are one.
Epicurus
Not what we have But what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.
Epicurus
