If Death Causes You No Pain When

Riches Do Not Exhilarate Us So Much With Their Possession As They Torment Us With Their Loss.

Whatsoever Causes No Annoyance When It Is Present, Causes Only A Groundless Pain In The Expectation. 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. It Is Nothing, Then, Either To The Living Or To The Dead, For With The Living It Is Not And The Dead Exist No Longer.

We Must Consider Both The Ultimate End And All Clear Sensory Evidence, To Which We Refer Our Opinions; For Otherwise Everything Will Be Full Of Uncertainty And Confusion.

It Is Impossible To Live A Pleasant Life Without Living Wisely And Well And Justly. And It Is Impossible To Live Wisely And Well And Justly Without Living A Pleasant Life.

He Who Needs Riches Least, Enjoys Riches Most.
