Epicurus

 

• “Of all the means to insure happiness throughout the whole life, by far the most important is the acquisition of friends.”
• “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.”
• “He who is not satisfied with a little is satisfied with nothing.”
• “Not what we have But what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.”
• “We must, therefore, pursue the things that make for happiness, seeing that when happiness is present, we have everything; but when it is absent, we do everything to possess it.”
• “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.”
