Other quotes by Epicurus

There is no such thing as justice in the abstract; it is merely a compact between men.

Nothing is enough for the man to whom enough is too little.

Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist.

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.

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.
