Self-sufficiency Is The Greatest Of All Wealth

Justice Is A Contract Of Expediency, Entered Upon To Prevent Men Harming Or Being Harmed.

The Greater The Difficulty The More Glory In Surmounting It, And The Loss Of False Joys Secures To Us A Much Better Possession Of Real Ones.

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.

Pleasure Is The Beginning And The End Of Living Happily. Epicurus Taught: Pleasure, Defined As Freedom From Pain, Is The Highest Good.

Remember That The Future Is Neither Ours Nor Wholly Not Ours, So That We May Neither Count On It As Sure To Come Nor Abandon Hope Of It As Certain Not To Be.
