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

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 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.

Natural wealth is limited and easily obtained; the wealth defined by vain fancies is always beyond reach.

Epicurus 202 quotes

Let no young man delay the study of philosophy, and let no old man become weary of it; for it is never too early nor too late to care for the well-being of the soul.

Necessity is an evil; but there is no necessity for continuing to live subject to necessity.

Epicurus 202 quotes

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.

The honor paid to a wise man is a great good for those who honor him.

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.

Most men are in a coma when they are at rest and mad when they act.
