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

Death is nothing to us: for after our bodies have been dissolved by death they are without sensation, and that which lacks sensation is nothing to us. And therefore a right understanding of death makes mortality enjoyable, not because it adds to an infinite span of time, but because it takes away the craving for immortality.

The time when most of you should withdraw into yourself is when you are forced to be in a crowd.

Don't fear god, Don't worry about death; What is good is easy to get, and What is terrible is easy to endure

To be rich is not the end, but only a change, of worries.

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.

If God listened to the prayers of men, all men would quickly have perished: for they are forever praying for evil against one another.
