Death is nothing to us, since when we are, death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.

Thanks be to blessed Nature that she has made what is necessary easy to obtain, and what is not easy unnecessary.

He who doesn't find a little enough will find nothing enough.

Death is nothing to us: for that which is dissolved is without sensation; and that which lacks sensation is nothing to us.

Men, believing in myths, will always fear something terrible, everlasting punishment as certain or probable . . . Men base all these fears not on mature opinions, but on irrational fancies, that they are more disturbed by fear of the unknown than by facing facts. Peace of mind lies in being delivered from all these fears.

Luxurious food and drinks, in no way protect you from harm. Wealth beyond what is natural, is no more use than an overflowing container. Real value is not generated by theaters, and baths, perfumes or ointments, but by philosophy.

Death is meaningless to the living because they are living, and meaningless to the dead… because they are dead.
