Other quotes by Epicurus

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.

The misfortune of the wise is better than the prosperity of the fool.

A free life cannot acquire many possessions, because this is not easy to do without servility to mobs or monarchs.

It is possible to provide security against other ills, but as far as death is concerned, we men live in a city without walls.

We do not so much need the help of our friends as the confidence of their help in need.
