The Summit Of Pleasure Is The Elimination

A Beneficent Person Is Like A Fountain Watering The Earth, And Spreading Fertility; It Is, Therefore, More Delightful To Give Than To Receive.

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.

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

Earthquakes May Be Brought About Because Wind Is Caught Up In The Earth, So The Earth Is Dislocated In Small Masses And Is Continually Shaken, And That Causes It To Sway.
