Any Device Whatever By Which One Frees

We Begin Every Act Of Choice And Avoidance From Pleasure, And It Is To Pleasure That We Return Using Our Experience Of Pleasure As The Criterion Of Every Good Thing.

We Should Look For Someone To Eat And Drink With Before Looking For Something To Eat And Drink.

Those Desires That Do Not Bring Pain If They Are Not Satisfied Are Not Necessary; And They Are Easily Thrust Aside Whenever To Satisfy Them Appears Difficult Or Likely To Cause Injury.

Be Moderate In Order To Taste The Joys Of Life In Abundance.

My Garden Does Not Whet The Appetite; It Satisfies It. It Does Not Provoke Thirst Through Heedless Indulgence, But Slakes It By Proffering Its Natural Remedy. Amid Such Pleasures As These Have I Grown Old.
