A Few Of My Favorite Quotes By Epicurus

in #wisdom6 years ago

I hope you all enjoy these quotes as much as I do.

I love all his quotes, but I will only share 7 with the steemit community. There are some that are full of wisdom and others that are witty and funny.

Either way it goes I hope you enjoy them to its truest values.

  1. Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.

  2. We must exercise ourselves in the things which bring happiness, since, if that be present, we have everything, and, if that be absent, all our actions are directed toward attaining it.

  3. Both old and young alike ought to seek wisdom: the former in order that, as age comes over him, he may be young in good things because of the grace of what has been, and the latter in order that, while he is young, he may at the same time be old, because he has no fear of the things which are to come.

  4. There is no such thing as justice in the abstract; it is merely a compact between men.

  5. It is possible to provide security against other ills, but as far as death is concerned, we men live in a city without walls.

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

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