Sweet exists by convention, bitter by convention, color by convention; but in reality atoms and the void alone exist

One should practice much sense, not much learning.

Everything existing in the universe is the fruit of chance and necessity.

Everywhere man blames nature and fate yet his fate is mostly but the echo of his character and passion, his mistakes and his weaknesses.

Fortune provides a man's table with luxuries, virtue with only a frugal meal.

Nothing exists but atoms and the void.

Men should strive to think much and know little.
