Description

Quotes from Epicurus
You don't develop courage by being happy in your relationships everyday. You develop it by surviving difficult times and challenging adversity.
It is possible to provide security against other ills, but as far as death is concerned, we men live in a city without walls.
The greater the difficulty, the more the glory in surmounting it.
Not what we have But what we enjoy, constitutes our abundance.
The art of living well and the art of dying well are one.
It is folly for a man to pray to the gods for that which he has the power to obtain by himself.
Epicurus
Epicurus (Greek: Ἐπίκουρος, Epíkouros, "ally, comrade"; 341–270 BC) was an ancient Greek philosopher as well as the founder of the school of philosophy called Epicureanism. Only a few fragments and letters of Epicurus's 300 written works remain. Much of what is known about Epicurean philosophy derives from later followers and commentators.
For Epicurus, the purpose of philosophy was to attain the happy, tranquil life, characterized by ataraxia—peace and freedom from fear—and aponia—the absence of pain—and by living a self-sufficient life surrounded by friends. He taught that pleasure and pain are the measures of what is good and evil; death is the end of both body and soul and should therefore not be feared; the gods neither reward nor punish humans; the universe is infinite and eternal; and events in the world are ultimately based on the motions and interactions of atoms moving in empty space.
