There Is Nothing To Fear From Gods,

Pleasure Is Our First And Kindred Good. It Is The Starting Point Of Every Choice And Of Every Aversion, And To It We Always Come Back, Inasmuch As We Make Feeling The Rule By Which To Judge Of Every Good Thing.

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.

If The Gods Have The Will To Remove Evil And Cannot, Then They Are Not All-powerful. If They Are Neither Able Nor Willing, They Are Neither All-powerful Or Benevolent. If They Are Both Able And Willing To Annihilate Evil, Why Does It Exist?

We Must Consider Both The Ultimate End And All Clear Sensory Evidence, To Which We Refer Our Opinions; For Otherwise Everything Will Be Full Of Uncertainty And Confusion.

The Misfortune Of The Wise Is Better Than The Prosperity Of The Fool.
