Whatsoever causes no annoyance when it is present, causes only a groundless pain in the expectation. Death, therefore, the most awful of evils, is nothing to us, seeing that, when we are, death is not come, and, when death is come, we are not. It is nothing, then, either to the living or to the dead, for with the living it is not and the dead exist no longer.

Of all the things which wisdom provides to make us entirely happy, much the greatest is the possession of friendship.

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

The magnitude of pleasure reaches its limit in the removal of all pain. When such pleasure is present, so long as it is uninterrupted, there is no pain either of body or of mind or of both together.

I was not; I have been; I am not; I do not mind.

Justice is a contract of expediency, entered upon to prevent men harming or being harmed.

We must, therefore, pursue the things that make for happiness, seeing that when happiness is present, we have everything; but when it is absent, we do everything to possess it.
