It Is Hard To Fight Against Anger:

Now As Of Old The Gods Give Men All Good Things, Excepting Only Those That Are Baneful And Injurious And Useless. These, Now As Of Old, Are Not Gifts Of The Gods: Men Stumble Into Them Themselves Because Of Their Own Blindness And Folly.

Men Have Made An Idol Of Luck As An Excuse For Their Own Thoughtlessness.

All Things Happen By Virtue Of Necessity.

By Convention Sweet Is Sweet, By Convention Bitter Is Bitter, By Convention Hot Is Hot, By Convention Cold Is Cold, By Convention Color Is Color. But In Reality There Are Atoms And The Void. That Is, The Objects Of Sense Are Supposed To Be Real And It Is Customary To Regard Them As Such, But In Truth They Are Not. Only The Atoms And The Void Are Real.

Moderation Multiplies Pleasures, And Increases Pleasure.
