Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist.
Epicurus Quotes
If death causes you no pain when you're dead, it's foolish to allow the fear of it to cause you pain now.

At the age of eighteen, he went to Athens for his two-year term of military service.
