Famous Epicurus Quotes hide
1 On Life:
2 On Death:
3 On God:
4 On Wisdom:

 

On Life:

Those who tell the young man to live well and the old man to die well is nothing but a fool, not only for what life has in happiness to both young and old, but also for one must be careful in live honestly as well as die honestly.

It is impossible to live a pleasant life without living wisely and well and justly. And it is impossible to live wisely and well and justly without living a pleasant life.

The art of living well and the art of dying well are one.

A free life cannot acquire many possessions, because this is not easy to do without servility to mobs or monarchs.

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

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