Being unable to overcome death, misery, and uncertainty, men have agreed, in order to be happy, not to think about them.

No habiendo podido los hombres
remediar la muerte
la miseria y la ignorancia,
han imaginado, para ser felices,
no pensar en absoluto en ellas.

Men can only be happy when they do not assume that the object of life is happiness.

Men simply don’t think.” And

Original: O homem vulgar, por mais dura que lhe seja a vida, tem ao menos a felicidade de a não pensar.

What luck for rulers that men do not think.

Men always forget that human happiness is a disposition of mind and not a condition of circumstances.

All the problems of the world could be settled easily if men were only willing to think. The trouble is that men very often resort to all sorts of devices in order not to think, because thinking is such hard work.

To be happy, we must not be too concerned with others.

If men only felt about death as they do about sleep, all terrors would cease. . . Men sleep contentedly, assured that they will wake the following morning. They should feel the same about their lives.

Happy is the man who has broken the chains which hurt the mind, and has given up worrying once and for all.

Don't worry about the past and don't try to figure out the future

To live is to not think.

The happiest life is to be without thought
