The Tetrapharmakos of Epicurus
Epicurus’ recipe for leading the happiest possible life:
Don’t fear god,
Don’t worry about death;
What is good is easy to get, and
What is terrible is easy to endureIn the original Greek:
Ἄφοβον ὁ θεός,
ἀνύποπτον ὁ θάνατος
καὶ τἀγαθὸν μὲν εὔκτητον,
τὸ δὲ δεινὸν εὐκαρτέρητον
