More quotes by Epicurus
Being happy is knowing how to be content with little
Epicurus

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
Death, the most dreaded of evils, is therefore of no concern to us for while we exist death is not present, and when death is present we no longer exist.
Epicurus
To be rich is not the end, but only a change, of worries.
Epicurus
What men fear is not that death is annihilation but that it is not.
Epicurus
I was not I have been I am not I do not mind.
Epicurus
Luxurious food and drinks, in no way protect you from harm. Wealth beyond what is natural, is no more use than an overflowing container. Real value is not generated by theaters, and baths, perfumes or ointments, but by philosophy.
