Nothing exists but atoms and the void.

Do not trust all men, but trust men of worth; the former course is silly, the latter a mark of prudence.

The whole Earth is at the hand of the wise man, since the fatherland of an elevated soul is the Universe.

Immoderate desire is the mark of a child, not a man.

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

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

Envy creates the beginning of strife.
