Tranquil pleasure constitutes human beings' supreme good
Riches do not exhilarate us so much with their possession as they torment us with their loss.
Any device whatever by which one frees himself from the fear of others is a natural good.
Pleasure is the first good. It is the beginning of every choice and every aversion. It is the absence of pain in the body and of troubles in the soul.
He who doesn't find a little enough will find nothing enough.
