Misfortune seldom intrudes upon the wise man; his greatest and highest interests are directed by reason throughout the course of life.

Riches do not exhilarate us so...

Riches do not exhilarate us so much with their possession as they torment us with their loss.

Tranquil pleasure constitutes human beings' supreme good

Epicurus 202 quotes

No pleasure is evil in itself;...

No pleasure is evil in itself; but the means by which certain pleasures
are gained bring pains many times greater than the pleasures.

Epicurus 202 quotes

Accustom yourself to believe t...

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

The fool, with all his other f...

The fool, with all his other faults, has this also, he is always getting ready to live.

Epicurus 202 quotes

My garden does not whet the ap...

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

Death, the most dreaded of evi...

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 202 quotes

Where I am death is not, where...

Where I am death is not, where death is I am not.

Epicurus 202 quotes

Freedom is the greatest fruit of self sufficiency.

Epicurus 202 quotes

The wealth required by nature ...

The wealth required by nature is limited and is easy to procure; but the wealth required by vain ideals extends to infinity.

Epicurus 202 quotes

Never say that I have taken it...

Never say that I have taken it, only that I have given it back.

Epicurus 202 quotes

Is God willing to prevent evil...

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

Epicurus 202 quotes

In a philosophical dispute, he gains most who is defeated, since he learns most.

Epicurus 202 quotes

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.

Only the just man enjoys peace of mind.
