We cannot live pleasantly wit...

We cannot live pleasantly without living wisely and nobly and righteously.

Epicurus 202 quotes

Accustom yourself to believe ...

Accustom yourself to believe that death is nothing to us, for good and evil imply awareness, and death is the privation of all awareness; therefore a right understanding that death is nothing to us makes the mortality of life enjoyable, not by adding to life an unlimited time, but by taking away the yearning after immortality. For life has no terror; for those who thoroughly apprehend that there are no terrors for them in ceasing to live.

Epicurus 202 quotes

An irreligious man is not one...

An irreligious man is not one who denies the gods of the majority, but one who applies to the gods the opinions of the majority. For what most men say about the gods are not ideas derived from sensation, but false opinions, according to which the greatest evils come to the wicked, and the greatest blessings come to the good from the gods.

Epicurus 202 quotes

It is impossible to live a pl...

It is impossible to live a pleasant life without living wisely and honorably and justly, and it is impossible to live wisely and honorably and justly without living pleasantly. Whenever any one of these is lacking, when, for instance, the man is not able to live wisely, though he lives honorably and justly, it is impossible for him to live a pleasant life.

Epicurus 202 quotes

Neither one should hesitate a...

Neither one should hesitate about dedicating oneself to philosophy when young, nor should get tired of doing it when one's old, because no one is ever too young or too old to reach one's soul's healthy.

Epicurus 202 quotes

Don't fear god, Don't worry a...

Don't fear god, Don't worry about death; What is good is easy to get, and What is terrible is easy to endure

Epicurus 202 quotes

My garden does not whet the a...

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 202 quotes

We must consider both the ult...

We must consider both the ultimate end and all clear sensory evidence, to which we refer our opinions; for otherwise everything will be full of uncertainty and confusion.

Epicurus 202 quotes

Without confidence, there is ...

Without confidence, there is no friendship.

Epicurus 202 quotes

The mind that is much elevate...

The mind that is much elevated and insolent with prosperity, and cast down with adversity, is generally abject and base.

Epicurus 202 quotes

Justice is a contract of expe...

Justice is a contract of expediency, entered upon to prevent men harming or being harmed.

Epicurus 202 quotes

Why are you afraid of death? ...

Why are you afraid of death? Where you are, death is not. Where death is, you are not. What is it that you fear.

Epicurus 202 quotes

Fortune seldom troubles the w...

Fortune seldom troubles the wise man. Reason has controlled his greatest and most important affairs, controls them throughout his life, and will continue to control them.

Epicurus 202 quotes

Most beautiful is the sight o...

Most beautiful is the sight of those near and dear to us when our original kinship makes us of one mind.

Epicurus 202 quotes

The wise man neither rejects ...

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 202 quotes

Those desires that do not bri...

Those desires that do not bring pain if they are not satisfied are not necessary; and they are easily thrust aside whenever to satisfy them appears difficult or likely to cause injury.

Epicurus 202 quotes

There is nothing to fear from...

There is nothing to fear from gods, There is nothing to feel in death, Good can be attained, Evil can be endured.

Epicurus 202 quotes

The gods can either take away...

The gods can either take away evil from the world and will not, or, being willing to do so, cannot; or they neither can nor will, or lastly, they are both able and willing. If they have the will to remove evil and cannot, then they are not omnipotent. If they can, but will not, than they are not benevolent. If they are neither able nor willing, then they are neither omnipotent nor benevolent. Lastly, if they are both able and willing to annihilate evil, how does it exist?

Epicurus 202 quotes

Pleasure is our first and kin...

Pleasure is our first and kindred good. It is the starting point of every choice and of every aversion, and to it we always come back, inasmuch as we make feeling the rule by which to judge of every good thing.

Epicurus 202 quotes

A blessed and indestructible ...

A blessed and indestructible being has no trouble himself and brings no trouble upon any other being; so he is free from anger and partiality, for all such things imply weakness.
