It should be pretty easy to find in any collection of Epicurus's surviving writings or in anthologies of Hellenistic philosophy. I think Epicurus was a pretty clever chap!Ethanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13490888839784651097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2323383105577553414.post-37594131235190605172015-09-28T08:44:12.380-07:002015-09-28T08:44:12.380-07:00My opinion follows Epicurus most closely.

Admittedly, I'm the first to question the validity of a credited quote or some statistic. Most people pull a stat or percentage out of their butts and are shocked when asked for the source. Guess they watch CNN, MSNBC, Faux Spews... where the interviewer just excepts the bullshit and keeps going.
