The Fool’s Life Is Empty Of Gratitude

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.

Is He Neither Able Nor Willing? Then Why Call Him God?

There Is Nothing To Fear From Gods, There Is Nothing To Feel In Death, Good Can Be Attained, Evil Can Be Endured.

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.

I Never Desired To Please The Rabble. What Pleased Them, I Did Not Learn; And What I Knew Was Far Removed From Their Understanding.
