Death, therefore, the most awful of evils, is nothing to us,... - Epicurus

"He who says either that the time for philosophy has not yet come or that it has passed is like someone who says that the time for happiness has not yet come or that it has passed."

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

"The wealth required by nature is limited and is easy to procure; but the wealth required by vain ideals extends to infinity."

"Il culmine del piacere è la pura e semplice distruzione del dolore."

"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."
