Quote of the day by Epicurus: “Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.” The ancient Greek philosopher Epicurus offered a simple lesson that remains relevant today: wanting more should not make us overlook what we already have. The quote is recorded as Vatican Saying 35, and reflects a central idea in Epicurean philosophy, that happiness is closely linked to limiting unnecessary desires and appreciating the things that genuinely contribute to a peaceful life.
