 3     6, 3-3  |        counts happy, I esteemed a happy man, whom personages so
 4     6, 11-20|           die in myself. Loving a happy life, I feared it in its

 9    10, 20-29|       seek Thee, my God, I seek a happy life. I will seek Thee,
10    10, 20-29|        Thee. How then do I seek a happy life, seeing I have it not,
11    10, 20-29|        had forgotten it? is not a happy life what all will, and
12    10, 20-29|           one hath it, then is he happy; and there are, who are
13    10, 20-29|       better off than such as are happy neither in deed nor in hope.
14    10, 20-29|           would not so will to be happy, which that they do will,
15    10, 20-29|          it be, then we have been happy once; whether all severally,
16    10, 20-29|        not; but only, whether the happy life be in the memory? For

18    10, 21-30|           hath seen it? No. For a happy life is not seen with the
19    10, 21-30|     further to attain unto; but a happy life we have in our knowledge,
20    10, 21-30|         attain it, that we may be happy. As we remember eloquence

22    10, 21-30|     remember, even when sad, as a happy life, when unhappy; nor
23    10, 21-31|          when did I experience my happy life, that I should remember,
24    10, 21-31|          but we all would fain be happy; which, unless by some certain
25    10, 21-31|       asked whether they would be happy, both would instantly without
26    10, 21-31|          the other not, but to be happy. Is it perchance that as

29    10, 21-31| recognised whenever the name of a happy life is mentioned. ~ ~
30    10, 22-32|     should therefore think myself happy. For there is a joy which
31    10, 22-32|      Thyself art. And this is the happy life, to rejoice to Thee,
32    10, 23-33|          then that all wish to be happy, inasmuch as they who wish
33    10, 23-33|           Thee, which is the only happy life, do not truly desire
34    10, 23-33|           do not truly desire the happy life. Or do all men desire
35    10, 23-33|            that they desire to be happy," for a happy life is joy

38    10, 23-33|          this life which alone is happy, all desire; to joy in the
39    10, 23-33|           then did they know this happy life, save where they know
40    10, 23-33|    deceived. And when they love a happy life, which is no other
