capri0mniThese were taken from the Vatican Sayings -- a 14th C. manuscript collection of quotes attributed to Epicurus and his followers, and of the 81 total, these are the ones that brought the broadest smiles:
19. He has become an old man on the day on which he forgot his past blessings.
34. We do not so much need the assistance of our friends as we do the confidence of their assistance in need.
35. Don't spoil what you have by desiring what you don't have; but remember that what you now have was once among the things only hoped for.
41. At one and the same time we must philosophize, laugh, and manage our household and other business, while never ceasing to proclaim the words of true philosophy.
42. The same time produces both the beginning of the greatest good and the dissolution of the evil.
48. While we are on the road, we must try to make what is before us better than what is past; when we come to the road's end, we feel a smooth contentment.
52. Friendship dances around the world bidding us all to awaken to the recognition of happiness.
