My two favorite Epicurean dicta

edit

First philosophical dictum (for death) (in English)

edit

"Death is nothing to us,

because

- when we exist, death is not yet present, and

- when death is present, then we do not exist."


"Don't worry about death."

While you are ""alive"", you don't have to deal with being "dead"",

but when you are dead you don't have to deal with it either,

because you aren't there to deal with it.

Second philosophical dictum (for me) (in Greek)

edit

«Ουδέποτε επεθύμησα να γίνω αρεστός στους πολλούς.

- Αφ' ενός, δεν ασχολήθηκα να μάθω τι αρέσει στους πολλούς και

- αφ' ετέρου, τα όσα ήξερα εγώ βρισκόνταν πέραν της δικής τους αντίληψης.»


Etymology

edit
  • Ionn < ιών (Greek verb: "ειμί") < Αιών ( = Century) < ~ Χρόνος ( = Time).
  • Korr < Khor < Χώρ < ~ Χώρος ( = Space).


Epicurus, ancient Greek philosopher (c. 341-271 BC)
