Death, therefore, the most awful of evils, is nothing to us, seeing that, when we are, death is not come, and, when death is come, we are not.

Don't fear the gods,
Don't worry about death;
What is good is easy to get, and
What is terrible is easy to endure.

Peace is present right here and now, in ourselves and in everything we do and see. Every breath we take, every step we take, can be filled with peace, joy, and serenity. The question is whether or not we are in touch with it. We need only to be awake, alive in the present moment.

Of all the things which wisdom provides to make life entirely happy, much the greatest is the possession of friendship

Go in the direction of where your peace is coming from.

It is not so much our friends' help that helps us as the confident knowledge that they will help us.
