More quotes by 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
The magnitude of pleasure reaches its limit in the removal of all pain. When such pleasure is present, so long as it is uninterrupted, there is no pain either of body or of mind or of both together.
Epicurus
I have never wished to cater to the crowd for what I know they do not approve, and what they approve I do not know.
Epicurus
Empty is the argument of the philosopher which does not relieve any human suffering.
Epicurus
Injustice is not evil in itself, but only in the fear and apprehension that one will not escape those who have been set up to punish the offense.
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
The fool’s life is empty of gratitude and full of fears its course lies wholly toward the future.
Epicurus
The summit of pleasure is the elimination of all that gives pain.
Epicurus
The misfortune of the wise is better than the prosperity of the fool.
Epicurus
Nothing is sufficient for the person who finds sufficiency too little
Epicurus
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.
Epicurus
He who is not satisfied with a little, is satisfied with nothing .
Epicurus
Virtue consisteth of three parts,--temperance, fortitude, and justice.
Epicurus
The knowledge of sin is the beginning of salvation.
Epicurus
There is no such thing as justice or injustice among those beasts that cannot make agreements not to injure or be injured. This is also true of those tribes that are unable or unwilling to make agreements not to injure or be injured.
Epicurus
Nothing is enough for the man to whom enough is too little.
Epicurus
The mind that is much elevated and insolent with prosperity, and cast down with adversity, is generally abject and base.
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.
Epicurus
Men, believing in myths, will always fear something terrible, everlasting punishment as certain or probable . . . Men base all these fears not on mature opinions, but on irrational fancies, that they are more disturbed by fear of the unknown than by facing facts. Peace of mind lies in being delivered from all these fears.
Epicurus
Pleasure is the beginning and the end of living happily. Epicurus taught: Pleasure, defined as freedom from pain, is the highest good.
