Four-part cure
From Epicurus Wiki
The "Four-part" cure (Gr.: tetrapharmakos), of Epicurus was most probably a bare-bones mnemonic guide to the core tenets of Epicurean philosophy. It has been found engraved, inscribed, or embossed on a variety of artifacts from Greece and, more abundantly, Rome and its empire.
- Don't fear god,
- Don't worry about death;
- What is good is easy to get, and
- What is terrible is easy to endure. (tr.)
(Philodemus, PHerc. 1005, 4.9-14)
