Stranger, here you will do well to tarry; here our highest good is pleasure.

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

Tranquil pleasure constitutes human beings' supreme good

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

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

Haec ego non multis (scribo), sed tibi: satis enim magnum alter alteri theatrum sumus. I am writing this not to many, but to you: certainly we are a great enough audience for each other.

Only the just man enjoys peace of mind.
