Misfortune seldom intrudes upon the wise man; his greatest and highest interests are directed by reason throughout the course of life.
EpicurusIt is impossible to live a pleasant life without living wisely and honorably and justly, and it is impossible to live wisely and honorably and justly without living pleasantly. Whenever any one of these is lacking, when, for instance, the man is not able to live wisely, though he lives honorably and justly, it is impossible for him to live a pleasant life.
