The Epicurean attitude, the extreme and grossest expression of which is "Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die," or the Horatian carpe diem, which may be rendered by "Live for the day," does not differ in its essence from the Stoic attitude with its "Accomplish what the moral conscience dictates to thee, and afterward let it be as it may be."
Epikurear jarrera, bere azken muturreko itxura traketsena "dezagun jan eta edan, bihar hilko gara eta" horretan ageri duena edo Horatioren carpe diem, "hatxekio egunari" moduan itzul litekeena, ez da ezberdina, funtsean, "bete ezak kontzientzia moralak agintzen diana, eta gero gerokoak" delako jarrera estoikotik.
