Book, Chapter

  1    I, 3 |          that there are many gods, say that they have divided their
  2    I, 3 |          one. Some one may perhaps say that so immense a work as
  3    I, 3 |          that I assign to one, and say that it exists in one: so
  4    I, 3 |           we should understand and say this very same thing. I
  5    I, 3 |          and fall to decay. But to say that the universe is governed
  6    I, 3 |     operate; and if any one should say this, he would appear to
  7    I, 3 |            are aware of this, they say that they so preside over
  8    I, 4 |           to be believed; for they say that those voices are not
  9    I, 4 |            would be able, I do not say to predict the future, but
 10    I, 4 |           for deceit. Why should I say that some of them were princes,
 11    I, 5 |         for he had nothing more to say. He affirms that this Being
 12    I, 5 |            earth. For he could not say that Jupiter was the author
 13    I, 5 |          from Saturn; nor could he say that Saturn himself was
 14    I, 6 |   Herophile, or Demophile and they say that she brought nine books
 15    I, 7 |           and a name? Why should I say that Mercury, that thrice
 16    I, 7 |          asserting that He is one, say that He is desolate and
 17    I, 7 |           they should envy its who say that there is one God, and
 18    I, 8 |          succession. Some one will say that this arrangement is
 19    I, 8 |           Why, then, some one will say, were they believed to be
 20    I, 9 |        valued. What! some one will say, do you think that the poets
 21    I, 11|     confess that he is a man. They say that the poets have spoken
 22    I, 11|       these things which the poets say are true. For what other
 23    I, 11|          kingdoms by lot. For they say that the heaven fell to
 24    I, 11|           share of Neptune; for we say that his kingdom resembled
 25    I, 11|     Minerva nor Juno. Why should I say that the peculiar meaning
 26    I, 11|       because we are accustomed to say that those whose virtue
 27    I, 11|             they do not absolutely say that men could possibly
 28    I, 11|           I have shown. Now I will say in what manner, at what
 29    I, 12|          and actions. He was, they say, just in his rule. First,
 30    I, 12|        have perished. Why should I say that they deprive Saturn
 31    I, 13|           reign."~The poet did not say in the former passage that
 32    I, 14|           after these things, they say that an oracle was given
 33    I, 15|      daughter, did not hesitate to say that those gods who were
 34    I, 15|         men." Some one may perhaps say that Cicero raved through
 35    I, 15|         king: "O Romulus, Romulus, say what a guardian of your
 36    I, 16|          as they imagine; for they say that there are sons of Jupiter
 37    I, 17|            that he can more easily say what is not, than what is;
 38    I, 17|         Then in that struggle they say that Vulcan shed his seed
 39    I, 18|         particular instances. They say that it is virtue which
 40    I, 19|         DEITIES.~But some one will say that this supreme Being,
 41    I, 20|           and Pallor. What shall I say respecting him, but that
 42    I, 20|          of the goddess Muta? They say that she is the goddess
 43    I, 20|  delineation of form. What shall I say of those who worship a rude
 44    I, 20|         also a stock. What shall I say of those who worship such
 45    I, 21|           the night in sport, they say that Vesta had laid herself
 46    I, 21|   frustrated. On this account they say that the people of Lampsacus
 47    I, 21|   besmeared with mud. What shall I say about shields now putrid
 48    I, 22|      honours. For this reason they say that a covered jar of wine
 49    I, 22|      foolish men to infants. But I say that they are much more
 50   II, 2 |        they have formed? But, they say, we do not fear the images
 51   II, 4 |            influence. Why should I say that, in the case of Verres
 52   II, 5 |           fashioned in that brass, say that they moved by their
 53   II, 6 |         God, because he is, as you say, a part of the world. And
 54   II, 6 |          world are gods, they also say that the world itself is
 55   II, 6 |             For no one can rightly say that the members of one
 56   II, 9 |       poets to be listened to, who say that in the beginning was
 57   II, 9 |         For nature, from which you say that all things had their
 58   II, 9 |      unwilling to return, so as to say that both the matter of
 59   II, 10|     splendour. But night, which we say is assigned to that depraved
 60   II, 10|        Rightly therefore does Ovid say:--~"For when moisture and
 61   II, 11|           their accounts, I do not say that; they spoke falsely
 62   II, 11|           some erring philosophers say, that men and the other
 63   II, 12|            FOR US TO KNOW IT.~They say that at certain changes
 64   II, 12|           contract them? But, they say, at the beginning of the
 65   II, 12|         now happens? Because, they say, it was necessary that it
 66   II, 12|            place, if it is as they say, there must of necessity
 67   II, 12|            came into their mind to say this. Therefore the whole
 68   II, 15|            demons. But grammarians say that they are called demons,
 69   II, 15|            abandoned spirits, as I say, wander over the whole earth,
 70   II, 16|             Some one may perchance say that they are therefore
 71   II, 17|      except at His command. For we say that the world is so governed
 72   II, 17|            ruler; and no one would say that his attendants are
 73   II, 18|           RELIGIONS.~Some one will say, Why then does God permit
 74  III, 3 |         comprehend these things, I say, by disputation and conjectures,
 75  III, 3 |        also is too distant. Let us say what is taking place with
 76  III, 3 |          one therefore ventures to say this, because he will immediately
 77  III, 4 |     entirely removed. Why should I say that it is not only overthrown
 78  III, 5 |     anything or nothing, they will say that they know the things
 79  III, 6 |            have fallen. But I will say how each part has erred.
 80  III, 6 |      should make an exception, and say that the causes and systems
 81  III, 7 |          granted: for whether they say anything, they bestow no
 82  III, 8 |           creatures? The Cyrenaics say that virtue itself is to
 83  III, 8 |           that most excellent poet say that we must try "what grief
 84  III, 9 |           of this kind. I will now say what this is, that I may
 85  III, 9 |         its own duty? Why should I say that more depends upon the
 86  III, 11|         even a good. What shall we say of riches? This is much
 87  III, 11|        possess them. What shall we say of sovereignty itself? That
 88  III, 11|            good. But what shall we say that it is? Pleasure? But
 89  III, 11|            is honourable. Shall we say that it is riches? or commands?
 90  III, 11|        taken from it. Why should I say that the duties of virtue
 91  III, 12|         differing from the others, say that that was the chief
 92  III, 12|            also, whom he followed, say that no one can be made
 93  III, 12|         therefore, is not, as they say, to be sought on its own
 94  III, 13|          trusts in man, is (not to say foolish, in that he does
 95  III, 13|           there is none at all. To say that there is no system
 96  III, 17|           of truth, he would never say that the god throws down
 97  III, 17|          and indeed solid, as they say, they certainly are able
 98  III, 17|           most vain poet, I do not say adorned, but overwhelmed
 99  III, 17|           is an evil? Why should I say that the argument is false,
100  III, 17|       perish. Although he does not say this in word, yet he teaches
101  III, 17|            could he employ than to say the same things which Epicurus
102  III, 17|          tortured or burnt, should say that he does not regard
103  III, 18|           have not been ashamed to say, that we are born for this
104  III, 19|   punishment. What, then, shall we say, but that they are in error
105  III, 19|      Socrates. It is impossible to say what great blindness and
106  III, 20|           but if he were openly to say this, no one would suffer
107  III, 21|           was never done, I do not say by a king, but not even
108  III, 21|           a stranger. Why should I say that it is possible for
109  III, 22|       reduced human life, I do not say to the likeness of dumb
110  III, 23|            tolerable. What shall I say of him who changed his possessions
111  III, 24|          to our footsteps? Do they say anything to the purpose?
112  III, 24|             I am at a loss what to say respecting those who, when
113  III, 27|            uncertainty. The Stoics say that it is virtue which
114  III, 27|         them. What do you, Stoics, say? What do you, Epicurus?
115  III, 27|            praise only, since they say that virtue is to be sought
116  III, 28|      things, as though they should say that all things were produced
117  III, 28|      reason is there why he should say that it is sunk below rather
118  III, 29|           in a foolish matter; and say that she is not a goddess,
119  III, 29|             for a man of talent to say that, which if you were
120  III, 29|          are unknown to him, he, I say, altogether believed the
121  III, 29|         the truth. Philosophers, I say, ought rather to have inquired
122  III, 29|           with wisdom, or, as they say, is itself also wisdom,
123   IV, 11|            of the Lord. How do you say, We are wise, and the law
124   IV, 11|       Therefore (as I had begun to say), when God had determined
125   IV, 12|         think it wonderful when we say that a virgin was made fruitful
126   IV, 12|       clouds of heaven. He did not say, like the Son of God, but
127   IV, 13|         since it was sufficient to say that He was mortal? But
128   IV, 14|             Nor did He at any time say that He Himself was God;
129   IV, 15|           submissive. Why should I say that the Sibyls before taught
130   IV, 15|           But assuredly~"They will say that the Sibyl ~Is mad,
131   IV, 15|            no one will any longer ~Say that I, the prophetess of
132   IV, 17|           For the prophet does not say, "And the Lord said unto
133   IV, 18|           of justice. What shall I say respecting the indignity
134   IV, 18|           be astonished, and shall say, Why hath God done these
135   IV, 18|         this house? And they shall say, Because they forsook the
136   IV, 20|           evident that He does not say that He hates the inheritance
137   IV, 22|            the opposite side. They say that it was impossible for
138   IV, 22|           an immortal nature. They say, in short, that it was unworthy
139   IV, 22|         with them. Why, then (they say), did He not come as God
140   IV, 23|          the affections which they say that it is our duty to overcome,
141   IV, 24|           teacher of righteousness say in reply to these things?
142   IV, 24|           in his opinion, and will say: You indeed do not sin,
143   IV, 24|        that if he should happen to say, You enjoin impossibilities;
144   IV, 26|         For some one may perchance say: Why, if He was God, and
145   IV, 27|            an engagement. But they say that the gods do this, not
146   IV, 27|           worshipped, then falsely say that they are gods; in order
147   IV, 29|           perhaps ask how, when we say that we worship one God
148   IV, 29|           when the things which we say seem to them probable, they
149    V, 3 | crucifixion was called, I will not say a God, but a man? But you
150    V, 3 |         tricks of the magic art. I say that there is no one who
151    V, 3 |            and especially when you say that he was both adored
152    V, 3 |          was so in truth. I do not say this, he says, that Apollonius
153    V, 3 |        Cimmerian darkness, as they say! He may perhaps have been
154    V, 8 |          the earth; of that God, I say, who hates wickedness and
155    V, 9 |         the innocent. What must we say is especially the cause
156    V, 9 |           things which they either say or do against the good.
157    V, 9 |        wickedness. These crimes, I say, and more than these, are
158    V, 10|        chains to slaughter, did he say,~"Fain would I grant the
159    V, 10|           his father. Why should I say that~"The good AEneas owned
160    V, 10|     suppliants. Here some one will say: What then, or where, or
161    V, 11|       living, earth to the dead? I say, therefore, that nothing
162    V, 16|          our people. Some one will say, Are there not among you
163    V, 18|        miseries, nevertheless they say that it is to be sought
164    V, 20|          we do not entice, as they say; but we teach, we prove,
165    V, 20|     utterance; let them venture, I say, to discuss with us something
166    V, 20|            to falsehood? But, they say, the public rites of religion
167    V, 20|           against him: that God, I say, who sees the secret places
168    V, 21|          those same who, when they say that they worship the gods,
169    V, 21|          certain philosophers, who say that there are no gods at
170    V, 21|          they regard anything, and say that they are neither angry
171   VI, 3 |        climbed to the summit. they say that he afterwards has a
172   VI, 3 |     frugality and luxury. For they say that the course of human
173   VI, 3 |         without great labour--they say that he will lead a life
174   VI, 3 |         better and more truly, who say that the two ways belong
175   VI, 3 |           first of all, because we say that a guide is proposed
176   VI, 4 |           leads, not, as the poets say, to the Elysian plains,
177   VI, 5 |    whatever they are accustomed to say in their definition of virtue,
178   VI, 5 |      contrary, as though he should say, That is good which is not
179   VI, 6 |     objects. Some one will perhaps say, What do you say? Do you
180   VI, 6 |           perhaps say, What do you say? Do you deny that this is
181   VI, 6 |      Cicero is true: "But they who say that regard is to be had
182   VI, 9 |           that philosophers should say that it is to be sought
183   VI, 10|          is due to God, I will now say what is to be given to man;
184   VI, 10|         and foolish old men vainly say, that we may refute them
185   VI, 11|        kind. Yes, truly, they will say that it is the part of a
186   VI, 11|           What does Marcus Tullius say in his books respecting
187   VI, 11|      genuine justice, of which you say that you have no real and
188   VI, 11|         exact a reward; if, as you say, it is to be sought on its
189   VI, 11|          great cities? Must we not say that they are senseless
190   VI, 12|           as the philosophers also say; but they turn it aside
191   VI, 12|         advantage?" But did he not say this rather incautiously?
192   VI, 12|         But they do not venture to say that it ought not to be
193   VI, 12|   sacrifice. Some one will perhaps say: If I shall do all these
194   VI, 14|            cruelty. Therefore they say, that those who appear evil
195   VI, 15|       Peripatetics act better, who say that all these cannot be
196   VI, 15|          it. Accordingly they will say that desire is continued
197   VI, 16|       moderated. We must not, they say, rejoice with excessive
198   VI, 16|           is as though they should say that we must not run swiftly,
199   VI, 16|           very great crime. We may say the same respecting the
200   VI, 17|         this exists in a man, they say that there is no place for
201   VI, 17|             The Stoic will perhaps say that inclination is necessary
202   VI, 17|            and, as they themselves say, to render it calm and tranquil;
203   VI, 19|          but also defend them, and say that there is nothing in
204   VI, 19|         reason and foresight. They say this indeed rightly, if
205   VI, 19|          subject. Accordingly they say that this very affection
206   VI, 20|           took this away. For they say that it is much more excellent
207   VI, 22|      chance any one requires us to say that it is dis graceful
208   VI, 22|     reached. Perhaps some one will say, Why, then, have these things
209  VII, 1 |             Of what avail is it, I say, to defend that heavenly
210  VII, 1 |            into madness and fire,"~say that we bring forward things
211  VII, 1 |             and whatever things we say, they will appear to them
212  VII, 3 |         tractable for action. They say that in the former is contained
213  VII, 3 |           thing? If any one should say that the potter is the same
214  VII, 3 |            Maker and the work; and say that the one can do nothing
215  VII, 3 |          at other times, when they say that it was made for the
216  VII, 3 |        forth riches. Why, should I say that we cannot even plough
217  VII, 3 |            it. But the Stoics also say the world was made for the
218  VII, 3 |          the gods, thus spoke:~"To say, again, that for the sake
219  VII, 3 |           with regard to those who say that the world always existed:
220  VII, 3 |        extricate themselves; but I say this, if the world always
221  VII, 3 |            intent, that they might say that there is none, he who
222  VII, 4 |          is evident, as the Stoics say, that the world was made
223  VII, 4 |         book which he wrote to me, say: "And on this account any
224  VII, 5 |           without evil, how do you say that, before he had offended
225  VII, 6 |        none; for what have they to say why the gods so regularly
226  VII, 7 |           skilful mind. The Stoics say that the world, and all
227  VII, 11|            gave them. What shall I say of the works of the body
228  VII, 13|        What do the Sibylline poems say? Do they not declare that
229  VII, 13|         that this is so, when they say that the time Will come
230  VII, 14|   respecting divination, foolishly say that they possess comprised
231  VII, 15|     Nevertheless the Sibyls openly say that Rome is doomed to perish,
232  VII, 20|             perhaps, some one will say, If the soul is immortal,
233  VII, 21|        First of all, therefore, we say that the power of God is
234  VII, 22|            received them, and they say that these things are impossible;
235  VII, 22|            light,~Whence comes it, say, and why?"~For they did
236  VII, 25|           street, which the Sibyls say shall come to pass, who
