  4    I, 6 |     religions, what kind of proof ought we to bring forward against
  5    I, 7 |        however, by what name they ought to be called, lest they
  6    I, 7 |         that the ministers of God ought not to be called gods, but
  7    I, 9 |      comes to pass, that he alone ought to be judged a brave man
  8    I, 11|           he reigns in heaven who ought not even to have reigned
  9    I, 11|         other image but his alone ought to have been placed in all
 10    I, 13|          any divine knowledge, he ought not to have mutilated his

 13    I, 20|         the truth is in question, ought disguises of this kind to
 14    I, 20|         with his friend. For that ought not to have been called

 16    I, 20|           those things which they ought to have shrunk from with
 17    I, 21|     sacrilegious rites? For these ought rather to be esteemed impious,
 18    I, 21|          God was taken away. They ought therefore to have understood
 19   II, 1 |       true Parent. I indeed, as I ought, often reflecting on the
 20   II, 1 |    enjoyment of His benefits they ought to honour His divine beneficence.
 21   II, 1 |       except that the mind of man ought to look in the same direction
 22   II, 1 |    countenance, and that his soul ought to be as upright as his
 23   II, 1 |         may imitate that which it ought to rule. But men, forgetful
 24   II, 2 |      image of the ever-living God ought to be living and endued
 25   II, 2 |         here below that which you ought to have sought above. For
 26   II, 3 |   nevertheless that these matters ought not to be discussed by the
 27   II, 3 |      taken with the rest, whom he ought, as the more prudent, to

 29   II, 3 |     allowance for timidity, which ought not to exist in a wise man.
 30   II, 3 |     beheld by the eyes of mortals ought to be worshipped, because
 31   II, 4 |       that the most ancient Ceres ought to be appeased, ambassadors
 32   II, 5 |       cannot be comprehended, and ought not to be made the subject
 33   II, 5 |           them; unless perhaps we ought to worship gods so innumerable
 34   II, 7 |          you are a philosopher, I ought to receive from you a reason
 35   II, 8 |         on this account the games ought to be repeated. And when
 36   II, 9 |         so that divine providence ought to have had materials at
 37   II, 9 |         so that divine providence ought to have had materials at
 38   II, 9 |           for use." Nay rather it ought not; for God will have less
 39   II, 9 |           though uncertain things ought to be proved from those
 40   II, 9 |          providence. Wherefore he ought not to have supposed that
 41   II, 9 |          by divine providence, he ought to have concluded that matter
 42   II, 13|          for this, being earthly, ought to be subject to the soul,
 43   II, 13|        fire, as we have shown, it ought to mount up to heaven as
 44   II, 13|         extinguished; that is, it ought to rise to the immortality
 45   II, 19|        cast himself. Therefore he ought to be mindful of his nature
 46  III, 1 |         alone in which alone they ought to have been believed, I
 47  III, 2 |     therefore that a perfect name ought not to be applied to an
 48  III, 4 |            as Socrates taught, or ought to be conjectured, as Zeno
 49  III, 5 |    knowledge. Therefore Arcesilas ought, if he had any wisdom, to
 50  III, 5 |        because they are ignorant, ought himself to have knowledge;
 51  III, 6 |           then it follows that he ought not to believe them. But
 52  III, 6 |           then it follows that he ought to believe them. Thus, if
 53  III, 6 |         no one to teach them; and ought not to be inquired into.
 54  III, 7 |           that we may know how we ought to live. For in the former
 55  III, 8 |          good of the chief animal ought to be placed in that which
 56  III, 8 |     something peculiar to himself ought to be attributed to man,
 57  III, 8 |         wounds, nor death itself, ought to be refused by them? Shall
 58  III, 8 |        found all the things which ought to be absent from man: they
 59  III, 8 |          virtue, and said that it ought to be sought, though no
 60  III, 8 |     peculiar and lasting good, it ought to stand in need of no outward
 61  III, 9 |           if he had been wise, he ought to have considered and reflected
 62  III, 10|       that some conception of Him ought to be entertained." From
 63  III, 11|        all mankind, that religion ought to be undertaken; but we
 64  III, 11|         good which arises from it ought to be so closely united
 65  III, 12|          For a state of happiness ought to be perfect, so that there
 66  III, 12|           immortality of the soul ought to have understood that
 67  III, 14|         noble Memmius,"--~yet God ought not to have been praised
 68  III, 14|          Him as a man; whereas He ought to have been esteemed as
 69  III, 14|           and obtuse? whereas you ought, under her teaching, both
 70  III, 14|        the precepts of philosophy ought to be known, but that we
 71  III, 14|        the precepts of philosophy ought to be known, it is on this
 72  III, 14|         on this account that they ought to be known, in order to
 73  III, 16|           speaking, in what light ought they to be regarded rather
 74  III, 16|          times of relaxation." He ought not to have feared, since
 75  III, 16|    brought about in this life. It ought to be quickly found, in
 76  III, 16|         as, when he said that men ought not to philosophize, he
 77  III, 16|      philosophers to discuss what ought and what ought not to be
 78  III, 16|       discuss what ought and what ought not to be done in life.
 79  III, 16|            and we testify that it ought to be taken up by all. He,
 80  III, 17|           from that in which they ought to have been made. And the
 81  III, 17|          they cannot cohere. They ought therefore to he hooked,
 82  III, 17|        think that any good tiring ought to be done, since the conferring
 83  III, 17|           of another; nor that he ought to abstain from guilt, because
 84  III, 20|           perceived this, that we ought not to discuss the nature
 85  III, 21|          Marriages also, be says, ought to be in common; so that
 86  III, 22|         place men on an equality, ought not to take away marriage
 87  III, 22| altogether removed it, because it ought not to be a community of
 88  III, 22|           thought that women also ought to engage in warfare, and
 89  III, 24|           every way; whereas they ought to judge from those which
 90  III, 25|          much money; doubtless he ought to have weighed gold as
 91  III, 29|        that this was plain, which ought to have been to him especially
 92  III, 29|       truth. Philosophers, I say, ought rather to have inquired
 93   IV, 1 |  incorruptible goods, which alone ought to be desired by man, they
 94   IV, 2 |  somewhere, it is evident that it ought especially to be sought
 95   IV, 3 |         because in our worship we ought to be wise, that is, to
 96   IV, 3 |            because as a father he ought to indulge, and as a lord
 97   IV, 4 |           it is the same God, who ought to be understood, which
 98   IV, 4 |    Therefore the one and only God ought to be worshipped, who was
 99   IV, 5 |           to comprehend the truth ought not only to apply his mind
100   IV, 6 |     another Sibyl enjoins that He ought to be known:--~"Know Him
101   IV, 8 |          the Son of God mentioned ought not to conceive in his mind
102   IV, 10|        the first place, then, men ought to know that the arrangements
103   IV, 12|         was born of a virgin, men ought to confess that God was
104   IV, 14|        one God, and that He alone ought to be worshipped. Nor did
105   IV, 17|       laid bare; that is, that we ought to live with an open and
106   IV, 18|           that He might show what ought to take place in every persecution,
107   IV, 22|     length perceive that the fact ought to have been as we show
108   IV, 23|         condition, the instructor ought not to separate himself
109   IV, 23|        among whom he acts; and he ought himself to live in the same
110   IV, 23|         which he teaches that men ought to live, lest, by living
111   IV, 24|          that the perfect teacher ought both to teach these things
112   IV, 24|      gives precepts for the life, ought to remove every method of
113   IV, 24|       teacher of virtue therefore ought to have taken away this
114   IV, 24|          be perfect, no objection ought to be brought forward by
115   IV, 24|           said, a perfect teacher ought to endure, that he may teach
116   IV, 26|      blemishes of vices. For they ought truly to be accounted as
117   IV, 26|        dead on the third day. Nor ought any one to be ignorant of
118   IV, 30|           sure commands, which we ought always to treasure in our
119   IV, 30|      frauds of demons, which they ought to have foreseen and guarded
120   IV, 30|         eternal salvation. No one ought to flatter himself with
121    V, 4 |           he did not handle as he ought to have done; for he ought
122    V, 4 |        ought to have done; for he ought to have been refuted not
123    V, 4 |         ignorant of the truth, he ought for a while to have laid
124    V, 5 |           this saying of the poet ought so to be taken, not as suggesting
125    V, 11|          by what punishments they ought to be visited who confessed
126    V, 13|           contempt of death--they ought to have understood that
127    V, 15|       philosopher, whose prudence ought to be firm and his opinion
128    V, 15|        the defence of justice, he ought first of all to have overthrown
129    V, 18|           name of folly. For what ought to be better and dearer
130    V, 20|           religion, and that this ought to be defended with the
131    V, 21|        for this reason only, they ought not to be worshipped, because
132    V, 21|     worship their gods, since men ought to have been led to that
133    V, 23|  perishable goods." From which it ought to appear strange to no
134   VI, 1 |          moment; whereas the soul ought to employ the service of
135   VI, 2 |          the truth, how much more ought we to do it, who are able
136   VI, 3 |           for the ways themselves ought to have been referred to
137   VI, 4 |     acquired, assuredly no labour ought to be refused by us, by
138   VI, 5 |           let us do that which he ought to have done. It is a virtue
139   VI, 8 |       guide. For this way of life ought to be sought in the same
140   VI, 8 |          the right course of life ought not to look to the earth,
141   VI, 8 |         to speak more plainly, he ought not to follow man, but God;
142   VI, 9 |        that man is born to it, it ought to contain some greater
143   VI, 10|         the case of other men, we ought to think of ourselves. We
144   VI, 10|     except by examples, what they ought to fear, what to avoid,
145   VI, 10|           of humanity itself, man ought undoubtedly to recognise
146   VI, 10|   established, what must we think ought to be done by men who are
147   VI, 11|        whether they think that he ought to be succoured or not?
148   VI, 11|    shameless as to deny that that ought to be done which humanity
149   VI, 12|        our true and just work: we ought thus to live with our neighbours,
150   VI, 12|      house of a just and wise man ought not to be open to the illustrious,
151   VI, 12|          conferring a benefit. He ought not therefore to have preferred
152   VI, 12|        not venture to say that it ought not to be done, but that,
153   VI, 12|           not speak of that which ought to be endured by a wise
154   VI, 12|          of that which he himself ought to do. Therefore we do not
155   VI, 13|           the faults of the flesh ought therefore to be done away
156   VI, 15|          from him. Wherefore they ought either to have taken away
157   VI, 15|     defective and weak discussion ought to have been completed;
158   VI, 15|     completed; that is, something ought to have been substituted
159   VI, 15|           things which they think ought to be taken away, but regulate
160   VI, 16|   moderate vices; yea, rather, it ought to have been at first effected
161   VI, 16|        they think that a wise man ought to rejoice if he sees any
162   VI, 16|          his enemy; or whether he ought to curb his joy, if by the
163   VI, 16|         any criminality. But they ought to have been assigned to
164   VI, 16|        even with him with whom he ought not to be angry or at times
165   VI, 16|         angry or at times when he ought not. He who is covetous
166   VI, 16|        the laws. The whole matter ought to have turned on this,
167   VI, 17|  self-restraint. And therefore we ought rather to effect this, that
168   VI, 17|         of possessing, whereas we ought both to abstain from pleasures,
169   VI, 17|         consist in motion, but it ought not even to be so. For as
170   VI, 17|      yield to these; and why this ought to be done I will show presently:
171   VI, 18|          that the doer of justice ought not to be boastful, lest
172   VI, 18|       which the worshipper of God ought to observe are easy, when
173   VI, 18|           in this kind of duty he ought to be content with that
174   VI, 18|      affections, against which he ought rather to struggle, and
175   VI, 18|      civil justice--how much more ought we to do this, who are,
176   VI, 20|           are vicious and deadly, ought to be overcome and subdued
177   VI, 20|           corrupt our minds, they ought to be taken away from us;
178   VI, 20|        this precept of God, there ought to be no exception at all
179   VI, 20|            and not boys only, who ought not to be inured to vices
180   VI, 20|          Therefore all spectacles ought to be avoided, not only
181   VI, 20|      settle in our breasts, which ought to be tranquil and peaceful;
182   VI, 21|         And especially this sense ought not to be distorted to vice,
183   VI, 25|        was taken from a dead body ought to be offered to a living
184   VI, 25|         that a corporeal offering ought not to be presented to an
185   VI, 25|        There are two things which ought to be offered, the gift
186   VI, 25|        For if God is not seen, He ought therefore to be worshipped
187   VI, 25|          are born to justice." We ought therefore to hold forth
188   VI, 25|          he spoke rightly. For we ought to sacrifice to God in word;
189  VII, 5 |      Therefore this temporal life ought to be subject to that eternal
190  VII, 5 |       consideration as to what he ought to guard against, what to
191  VII, 7 |         neither knowing what they ought to defend nor what to refute;
192  VII, 12|           a school of philosophy, ought not even to have been refuted
193  VII, 13|     whereas the sight of the mind ought to be much clearer than
194  VII, 15|         reduced to servitude. Nor ought it to appear wonderful to
195  VII, 22|       laceration of their bodies. Ought men therefore to rise again
196  VII, 26|        and jeering. For a mystery ought to be most faithfully concealed
197  VII, 27|           reward. All, therefore, ought to endeavour either to direct
