If the gods have the will to remove evil and cannot, then they are not all-powerful. If they are neither able nor willing, they are neither all-powerful or benevolent. If they are both able and willing to annihilate evil, why does it exist?

Launch your boat, blessed youth, and flee at full speed from every form of culture.

The misfortune of the wise is better than the prosperity of the fool.

Live your life without attracting attention.

There is nothing terrible in life for the man who realizes there is nothing terrible in death.

The things you really need are few and easy to come by; but the things you can imagine you need are infinite, and you will never be satisfied.

The art of living well and the art of dying well are one.
