The Epicurean four-fold cure (tetrapharmakos) for human unhappiness. Attributed to the Greek philosopher and poet Philodemus of Gadara (110–35 BCE), and found in a famous papyrus retrieved at Herculaneum, near Pompeii.

Don’t fear god,

Don’t worry about death;

What is good is easy to get, and

What is terrible is easy to endure.
