Epicurus on friendship

Practical Wisdom podcast, episode 58

“Of all the things that wisdom provides for the happiness of the whole man, by far the most important is the acquisition of friendship.

It is the same judgment that has made us feel confident that nothing fearful is of long duration or everlasting, and that has seen personal security during our limited span of life most nearly perfected by friendship.”

(Leading Doctrines, 27-28)
