More quotes by Epicurus

Epicurus
There is nothing terrible in life for the man who realizes there is nothing terrible in death.
Epicurus
Nothing is enough for the man to whom enough is too little.
Epicurus
It is folly for a man to pray to the gods for that which he has the power to obtain by himself.
Epicurus
The guilty man may escape, but he cannot be sure of doing so.

Epicurus
Pleasure is the beginning and the end of living happily. Epicurus taught: Pleasure, defined as freedom from pain, is the highest good.
Epicurus
The wise man neither rejects life nor fears death... just as he does not necessarily choose the largest amount of food, but, rather, the pleasantest food, so he prefers not the longest time, but the most pleasant.
Epicurus
He who doesn't find a little enough will find nothing enough.
Epicurus

Epicurus
Not what we have But what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.
Epicurus

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
A man who causes fear cannot be free from fear.
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
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
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
Death is nothing to us: for that which is dissolved is without sensation and that which lacks sensation is nothing to us.
Epicurus
