Men, believing in myths, will always fear something terrible, everlasting punishment as certain or probable . . .

Peace of mind lies in being delivered from all these fears.

Epicurus
Image
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
Image
Of all the means to insure happiness throughout the whole life, by far the most important is the acquisition of friends.
Epicurus
