There is no such thing as justice in the abstract; it is merely a compact between men.

It is better for you to be free of fear lying upon a pallet, than to have a golden couch and a rich table and be full of trouble.

Justice is never anything in itself, but in the dealings of men with one another in any place whatever and at any time. It is a kind of compact not to harm or be harmed.

What will happen to me if that which this desire seeks is achieved, and what if it is not?

When we exist, death is not yet present, and when death is present, then we do not exist.

When we say that pleasure is the end, we do not mean the pleasure of the profligate or that which depends on physical enjoyment--as some think who do not understand our teachings, disagree with them, or give them an evil interpretation--but by pleasure we mean the state wherein the body is free from pain and the mind from anxiety.

He who has peace of mind disturbs neither himself nor another.
