Epicurus Quotes

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 Picture Quote #1

Vain is the word of a philosopher which does not heal any suffering of man. For just as there is no profit in medicine if it does not expel the diseases of the body, so there is no profit in philosophy either, if it does not expel the suffering of the mind Picture Quote #1

A happy and eternal being has no trouble himself and brings no trouble upon any other being; hence he is exempt from movements of anger and partiality, for every such movement implies weakness Picture Quote #1
