There Is Nothing Terrible In Life For

Let No Young Man Delay The Study Of Philosophy, And Let No Old Man Become Weary Of It; For It Is Never Too Early Nor Too Late To Care For The Well-being Of The Soul.

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.

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

Accustom Yourself To Believe That Death Is Nothing To Us, For Good And Evil Imply Awareness, And Death Is The Privation Of All Awareness; Therefore A Right Understanding That Death Is Nothing To Us Makes The Mortality Of Life Enjoyable, Not By Adding To Life An Unlimited Time, But By Taking Away The Yearning After Immortality. For Life Has No Terror; For Those Who Thoroughly Apprehend That There Are No Terrors For Them In Ceasing To Live.

He Who Says Either That The Time For Philosophy Has Not Yet Come Or That It Has Passed Is Like Someone Who Says That The Time For Happiness Has Not Yet Come Or That It Has Passed.
