When We Exist, Death Is

It Is Vain To Ask Of The Gods What Man Is Capable Of Supplying For Himself.

Either God Wants To Abolish Evil, And Cannot; Or He Can And Does Not Want To. If He Wants To, But Cannot, He Is Impotent. If He Can, But Does Not Want To, He Is Wicked. If, As They Say, God Can Abolish Evil, And God Really Wants To Do It, Why Is There Evil In The World?

It Is Possible To Provide Security Against Other Ills, But As Far As Death Is Concerned, We Men Live In A City Without Walls.

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

Those Desires That Do Not Bring Pain If They Are Not Satisfied Are Not Necessary; And They Are Easily Thrust Aside Whenever To Satisfy Them Appears Difficult Or Likely To Cause Injury.
