Death is nothing to us, since when we are, death has not come, and when death has come, we are not.
EpicurusLuxurious 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.
EpicurusThe greater the Difficulty the more Glory in surmounting it, and the loss of false Joys secures to us a much better Possession of real ones.
EpicurusLet nothing be done in your life, which will cause you fear if it becomes known to your neighbor.
Epicurus
