So death, the most terrifying...

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 202 quotes

Death does not concern us, bec...

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 202 quotes

If God listened to the prayers...

If God listened to the prayers of men, all men would quickly have perished: for they are forever praying for evil against one another.

Epicurus 202 quotes

Whatsoever causes no annoyance...

Whatsoever causes no annoyance when it is present, causes only a groundless pain in the expectation. Death, therefore, the most awful of evils, is nothing to us, seeing that, when we are, death is not come, and, when death is come, we are not. It is nothing, then, either to the living or to the dead, for with the living it is not and the dead exist no longer.

Epicurus 202 quotes

Any man who does not think tha...

Any man who does not think that what he has is more than ample, is an unhappy man, even if he is the master of the whole world.

Epicurus 202 quotes

Vain is the word of a philosop...

Vain is the word of a philosopher which does not heal any suffering of man. For just as there is no profit in medicine if it does not expel the diseases of the body, so there is no profit in philosophy either, if it does not expel the suffering of the mind.
