Quotes

Epicurus also said...


Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search thereof when he is grown old. For no age is too early or too late for the health of the soul.





It is not so much our friends' help that helps us, as the confidence of their help.





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





Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist.





We must then meditate on the things that make our happiness, seeing that when that is with us we have all, but when it is absent we do all to win it.





Pleasure is the beginning and end of the blessed life.
