Man was not intended by nature to live in communities and be civilized.
The guilty man may escape, but he cannot be sure of doing so.
The time when most of you should withdraw into yourself is when you are forced to be in a crowd.
So death, the most terrifying of ills, is nothing to us, since so long as we exist, death is not with us; but when death comes, then we do not exist. It does not then concern either the living or the dead, since for the former it is not, and the latter are no more.
As if they were our own handiwork we place a high value on our characters.
We have been born once and there can be no second birth. Fir all eternity we shall no longer be. But you, although you are not master of tomorrow, are postponing your happiness.
