Any Man Who Does Not Think That

Fortune Seldom Troubles The Wise Man. Reason Has Controlled His Greatest And Most Important Affairs, Controls Them Throughout His Life, And Will Continue To Control Them.

Men Are So Thoughtless, Nay, So Mad, That Some, Through Fear Of Death, Force Themselves To Die.

Why Should I Fear Death? If I Am, Then Death Is Not. If Death Is, Then I Am Not. Why Should I Fear That Which Can Only Exist When I Do Not? Long Time Men Lay Oppressed With Slavish Fear. Religious Tyranny Did Domineer. At Length The Mighty One Of Greece Began To Assent The Liberty Of Man.

I Was Not; I Have Been; I Am Not; I Do Not Mind.

Let No One Delay The Study Of Philosophy While Young Nor Weary Of It When Old.
