525   VI, 4   |             in this earthly warfare men expend so much labour to

535   VI, 7   |           and varied in the life of men. For as that way of wisdom
536   VI, 7   |           who perceive the folly of men in general seize upon this;

543   VI, 10  |       danger, had recourse to other men, implored protection, and
544   VI, 10  |       barriers. O minds unworthy of men, which produced these foolish

546   VI, 10  |              thought, however, that men could not have been admonished
547   VI, 10  |     together, because the nature of men avoided solitude, and was
548   VI, 10  |             any means true, because men were not born from the ground

552   VI, 10  |          who needs help. For, since men entered into and contracted
553   VI, 10  |          contracted fellowship with men for the sake of protection,
554   VI, 10  |        which was entered into among men from the commencement of

557   VI, 10  |     ignorant and as yet uncivilized men did this, and that, when
558   VI, 10  |           think ought to be done by men who are polished, and connected
559   VI, 10  |        accustomed to the society of men, cannot endure solitude?~
560   VI, 11  |           wish rightly to be called men. But what else is this preservation
561   VI, 11  |             They themselves are not men if they think so; for no
562   VI, 11  |             whatever they bestow on men of this kind is thrown away.
563   VI, 11  |             of wisdom plainly keeps men back from acts of kindness,
564   VI, 11  |        thirst, and hunger; nor will men who are rich and abundantly
565   VI, 11  |           them. They are useless to men, but they are serviceable
566   VI, 11  |         with kindness, the lives of men, that they may not be extinguished.
567   VI, 11  |          that of the eyes and ears, men either forget and are ungrateful
568   VI, 11  |     satisfied: so that most foolish men ,have even acquired evil
569   VI, 11  |            estates of most trifling men are expended on superfluous
570   VI, 11  |            they bestow something on men. and profit them; but that
571   VI, 12  |           the houses of illustrious men should be open to illustrious
572   VI, 12  |            illustrious and powerful men cannot be in want of anything,

574   VI, 12  |            in receiving illustrious men, he looked to nothing else
575   VI, 12  |           the favour of the leading men, whom he will have bound
576   VI, 12  |             to your house the chief men of the nations and cities
577   VI, 12  |           part of great and eminent men." Therefore it is the appropriate
578   VI, 12  |       better. For that profusion of men throwing away their property
579   VI, 12  |         only, that it appears among men to be done rightly and kindly.
580   VI, 12  |           what if a great number of men shall be in want, shall
581   VI, 12  |         that from which you provide men for the sword. What does
582   VI, 12  |            does it profit to enrich men of abandoned wickedness,
583   VI, 13  |             especially desires that men shall be cleansed from their
584   VI, 13  |         speech. Therefore even just men, who can refrain from every
585   VI, 15  |           creature. But the skilful men do not understand that when
586   VI, 15  |        neighbours, friends, or good men?--unless the mind of any
587   VI, 17  |            presently: but that when men command us to act in opposition
588   VI, 18  |            commands, as of pleasing men, and should already have
589   VI, 18  |        profit. But the depravity of men will not be able to corrupt
590   VI, 18  |            contentions, arise among men, except that impatience
591   VI, 18  |             fraud in the affairs of men. What, therefore, can be
592   VI, 18  |            to return to examples of men, even the inexperienced
593   VI, 19  |        employ it for the slaying of men, what is to be thought more
594   VI, 19  |        three affections which drive men headlong to all crimes:
595   VI, 19  |           which harass the minds of men: anger longs for revenge,
596   VI, 20  |        pleasant in intercourse with men, or in nature or workmanship.
597   VI, 20  |          humanity departed from the men, that when they destroy
598   VI, 20  |           they destroy the lives of men, they think that they are
599   VI, 20  |          they can be just and pious men, who, when they see men
600   VI, 20  |             men, who, when they see men placed under the stroke
601   VI, 20  |           are esteemed lawful among men. Thus it will be neither
602   VI, 20  |              and not for death. But men, that there may be no crime
603   VI, 20  |            are true? What can young men or virgins do, when they
604   VI, 20  |           prematurely, but also old men, whom it does not become
605   VI, 20  |             the spectacles to which men assemble for the sake of
606   VI, 21  |              captivate the minds of men, and impel them in what
607   VI, 21  |         please. Hence, when learned men have applied themselves
608   VI, 22  |            to shut out justice from men. With these soothing influences
609   VI, 22  |      delights and pleasures; and as men arrive at real good through
610   VI, 24  |         stress of labour."~For when men have tasted sweet pleasures
611   VI, 24  |           conceal anything from all men, we cannot conceal it from
612   VI, 24  |         perceiving that the life of men is not superfluous, as the
613   VI, 24  |      dissimulation; for the eyes of men are removed by walls, but
614   VI, 24  |             theatre of the world by men, but from above by Him who
615   VI, 25  |        serve God for ever. But that men are not born except for
616   VI, 25  |            are discussed by learned men, nothing assuredly is of
617  VII, 1   |            return it. These are the men who cry out in any way against
618  VII, 1   |         equipped. For those wealthy men, who are loaded with many
619  VII, 2   |          God surpasses the works of men. Thus, as great as is the
620  VII, 2   |           who established them were men; nor can those things have
621  VII, 3   |         appear to be mad? But these men comprehend under the one
622  VII, 3   |            was made for the sake of men, and that God could, if
623  VII, 3   |            was made for the sake of men I hear But Epicurus is ignorant
624  VII, 3   |            what account or who made men themselves. For Lucretius,
625  VII, 3   |         again, that for the sake of men they have willed to set
626  VII, 3   |            was made for the sake of men, yet, since their argument
627  VII, 3   |            was made for the sake of men, and so made as to be eternal,
628  VII, 3   |            not made for the sake of men has no argument. For if
629  VII, 4   |            was made for the sake of men, although they make no slight
630  VII, 4   |             the sake of man, but of men. For the naming of one individual
631  VII, 4   |            God, and they think that men were produced in all lands
632  VII, 4   |            may be visible, but that men may sail in it. Likewise
633  VII, 5   |          and are earthly; and these men also lead an earthly life,
634  VII, 5   |          are the mutual contests of men, and with what various arts
635  VII, 5   |  enticements of these He might lead men to the concealed evil. And
636  VII, 6   |             only on this account by men, that they may afford them
637  VII, 6   |         gods so regularly supply to men everything in its season?
638  VII, 6   |           how long, or how far were men produced, or on what account?
639  VII, 6   |        threaten, which is worthy of men or of gods? Or if souls
640  VII, 7   |           were made for the sake of men: the sacred writings teach
641  VII, 7   |       nothing. Aristo asserted that men were born to the exercise
642  VII, 9   |          even deny them the name of men, who, with a close resemblance
643  VII, 11  |            through injury caused by men, or through length of time,

655  VII, 16  |          shall consume the souls of men; they shall deplore and

657  VII, 16  |          scarcely the tenth part of men will be left; and from whence

671  VII, 22  |   laceration of their bodies. Ought men therefore to rise again
672  VII, 22  |         taken away from the eyes of men, lest, if he were seen or
673  VII, 22  |             were seen or heard, all men with one accord should leave
674  VII, 23  |    foolishly, that they passed from men into cattle, and from cattle
675  VII, 23  |        cattle, and from cattle into men; and that he himself was

683  VII, 26  |          clemency for the safety of men,--in short, to remove the
684  VII, 26  |      highest congratulations of all men. And not undeservedly has
685  VII, 27  |           which soothe the souls of men with pernicious sweetness.
