Where I am death is not, where death is I am not.

Skillful pilots gain their reputation from storms and tempest.

Stranger, here you will do well to tarry; here our highest good is pleasure.

Freedom is the greatest fruit of self sufficiency.

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.

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

Death, the most dreaded of evils, is therefore of no concern to us; for while we exist death is not present, and when death is present we no longer exist.
