Live fully. Live now. Don't wait. Be careful of overpreparing. It's easy to make excuses, wasting time waiting for something to fall into place.
"The fool, with all his other faults, has this also, he is always getting ready to live…. How late it is to begin really to live just when life must end!"
Seneca, On the Shortness of Life (quoting Epicurus)

For a wrongdoer to be undetected is difficult; and for him to have confidence that his concealment will continue is impossible.

#Epicurus, the precursor to #Lucretius in the #materialist #philosophical tradition, believed that we need knowledge only because without it we are unhappy. I find it wonderful that following one's curiosity to bring oneself #joy is fundamental to the roots of the Western philosophical tradition that led to #science.

Natural justice is a symbol or expression of usefulness, to prevent one person from harming or being harmed by another.

I spent much of the day in the Garden - that is, reading Epicurus.

Some of the Stoics thought that Epicurus and his philosophy were entirely antithetical to Stoicism. Though he thought they got many things wrong, that wasn't Seneca's view. Here's a Sadler's Lectures episode about that

Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.

Arthur Brooks completely misunderstands Epicurus here. Yes, his observations in this video are correct, but Epicurus did not believe that all suffering should be avoided at all costs:
“Furthermore, we regard certain states of pain as preferable to pleasures, particularly when greater satisfaction results from our having submitted to discomforts for a long period of time. Thus every pleasure is a good by reason of its having a nature akin to our own, but not every pleasure is desirable. In like manner every state of pain is an evil, but not all pains are uniformly to be rejected. At any rate, it is our duty to judge all such cases by measuring pleasures against pains, with a view to their respective assets and liabilities, inasmuch as we do experience the good as being bad at times and, contrariwise, the bad as being good.” (Epicurus, Letter to Menoeceus)

Change of troubles
The acquisition of riches has been for many men, not an end, but a change, of troubles.
