More quotes by Epicurus
We should look for someone to eat and drink with before looking for something to eat and drink.
Epicurus
Why should I fear death? If I am, death is not. If death is, I am not. Why should I fear that which can only exist when I do not?
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
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
All other love is extinguished by self-love beneficence, humanity, justice, philosophy, sink under it.
Epicurus
I never desired to please the rabble. What pleased them, I did not learn and what I knew was far removed from their understanding.
Epicurus
Nothing is sufficient for the person who finds sufficiency too little
Epicurus
The summit of pleasure is the elimination of all that gives pain.
Epicurus
Misfortune seldom intrudes upon the wise man his greatest and highest interests are directed by reason throughout the course of life.
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
So death, the most terrifying of ills, is nothing to us, since so long as we exist, death is not with us but when death comes, then we do not exist. It does not then concern either the living or the dead, since for the former it is not, and the latter are no more.
Epicurus
Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist.
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
Not what we have But what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.
Epicurus
Pleasure is the beginning and the end of living happily. Epicurus taught: Pleasure, defined as freedom from pain, is the highest good.
Epicurus
Men are so thoughtless, nay, so mad, that some, through fear of death, force themselves to die.
Epicurus
To eat and drink without a friend is to devour like the lion and the wolf.
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
He who is not satisfied with a little, is satisfied with nothing .
Epicurus
There is nothing terrible in life for the man who realizes there is nothing terrible in death.
Epicurus
