More quotes by Epicurus
Without confidence, there is no friendship.
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
I would rather be first in a little Iberian village than second in Rome.
Epicurus
The term incorporeal is properly applied only to the void, which cannot act or be acted on. Since the soul can act and be acted upon, it is corporeal.
Epicurus
No pleasure is evil in itself but the means by which certain pleasures are gained bring pains many times greater than the pleasures.
Epicurus
There are infinite worlds both like and unlike this world of ours. For the atoms being infinite in number... are borne on far out into space.
Epicurus
Some men spend their whole life furnishing for themselves the things proper to life without realizing that at our birth each of us was poured a mortal brew to drink.
Epicurus
The knowledge of sin is the beginning of salvation.
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
If you wish to make Pythocles rich, do not add to his store of money, but subtract from his desires.
Epicurus
What men fear is not that death is annihilation but that it is not.
Epicurus
The mind that is much elevated and insolent with prosperity, and cast down with adversity, is generally abject and base.
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
As if they were our own handiwork we place a high value on our characters.
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
Not what we have But what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.
Epicurus
The wise man who has become accustomed to necessities knows better how to share with others than how to take from them, so great a treasure of self-sufficiency has he found.
Epicurus
The flesh believes that pleasure is limitless and that it requires unlimited time but the mind, understanding the end and limit of the flesh and ridding itself of fears of the future, secures a complete life and has no longer any need for unlimited time.
Epicurus
Let nothing be done in your life, which will cause you fear if it becomes known to your neighbor.
Epicurus
He who is not satisfied with a little, is satisfied with nothing .
Epicurus
