  3    I, 11|       appear to themselves to be wise because they understand
  4    I, 15|          thought that a just and wise state would employ, he thus
  5    I, 18|        countrymen? Are they more wise? For they despise valour
  6    I, 18|       they appear to themselves, wise men, involved in such miserable
  7   II, 3 |     endeavour to make the people wise: that is a befitting subject,
  8   II, 3 |     advocacy of truth. But, as a wise man, you ought to have despised
  9   II, 3 |          ought not to exist in a wise man. Why, then, are you
 10   II, 3 |         not own themselves to be wise; but it cannot be extended
 11   II, 4 |          nobleness."~A noble and wise sentiment. But he ridiculously
 12   II, 6 |       that it is both living and wise, and therefore God. But
 13   II, 9 |        one that is insensible, a wise one from one that is irrational,
 14   II, 9 |           from those first seven wise men, even to Socrates and
 15   II, 15|         of wine, and worship the wise demons as gods of the earth,
 16   II, 19|        indeed, may be plain to a wise man from the very name.
 17   II, 19|        will be judged altogether wise, he just, he a man: he,
 18  III, 1 |         those who are considered wise, might introduce among the
 19  III, 2 |     wisdom is manifestly not yet wise, but devotes himself to
 20  III, 2 |       the subject that he may be wise. In the other arts it appears
 21  III, 2 |       devoted to wisdom, and not wise. Nay, in truth, Pythagoras,
 22  III, 2 |       who regarded themselves as wise, understood that it was
 23  III, 2 |      wisdom or not, they are not wise, because that can never
 24  III, 4 |       know, is not the part of a wise, but rather of a rash and
 25  III, 4 |         believe no one, then the wise have no existence, because
 26  III, 4 |     things they think themselves wise; if all, it is equally true
 27  III, 4 |   equally true that there are no wise men, because all deny the
 28  III, 5 |     because they are only so far wise as is necessary. And if
 29  III, 5 |          follow that you are not wise, because you confess that
 30  III, 6 |        these were manifestly not wise. Others thought that nothing
 31  III, 6 |     known; nor indeed were these wise: the former, because they
 32  III, 7 |           because we are already wise, inasmuch as we judge respecting
 33  III, 7 |   respecting the opinions of the wise. But since we come for the
 34  III, 7 |         have not yet begun to be wise? especially when the Academic
 35  III, 8 |        of those philosophers was wise. Since the inquiry is respecting
 36  III, 8 |           Therefore he was not a wise man who believed that pleasure
 37  III, 9 |       silent. But if he had been wise, he ought to have considered
 38  III, 9 |    should ask a man who is truly wise for what purpose he was
 39  III, 9 |         plain and easy, if he is wise; and to it especially belongs
 40  III, 10|  Therefore the ignorant are more wise; for although they err in
 41  III, 11|         nothing more worthy of a wise man. For if vices are to
 42  III, 12|         lowest station, in fine, wise as well as foolish, desire
 43  III, 13|          speaking, but about the wise man, whose learning is concerned
 44  III, 14|       philosophers, not a single wise man has yet existed. What,
 45  III, 14|       both to perceive and to be wise, and to be engaged in the
 46  III, 15|           Seneca also says: "The wise man will even do things
 47  III, 15|         and the ignorant do, the wise man also will do, but not
 48  III, 16|       moderation; but we must be wise, and that indeed quickly.
 49  III, 16|    wisdom in this life we may be wise in that; each result must
 50  III, 17|         to any one, for that the wise man does everything on his
 51  III, 17|   fortitude, it is said that the wise man is happy even under
 52  III, 17|        that this man was neither wise nor of sound mind. Also,
 53  III, 17|        For it is the part of the wise man to do evil, if it is
 54  III, 17|       when he maintains that the wise man does everything for
 55  III, 17|      this as the expression of a wise man, since it can most fittingly
 56  III, 19|      same abodes. For those same wise men, he says, did not judge
 57  III, 19|         its flame obliquely. The wise man therefore imagined,
 58  III, 20|         Socrates himself, that a wise man deservedly gave thanks
 59  III, 20|        he who thinks that he was wise is himself of unsound mind.
 60  III, 20|    Behold one in whose times the wise man congratulates himself
 61  III, 21|           For grant that nil arc wise, and despise money. To what,
 62  III, 22|        they repel them. But this wise man, contrary to the custom
 63  III, 23|          appear to themselves so wise, as when they boast of their
 64  III, 25|           should be taught to he wise; and that the people should
 65  III, 25|     wished to compose a state of wise men. They attempted, indeed,
 66  III, 26|  forthwith he shall be just, and wise, and innocent for by one
 67  III, 27|          much more strongly. The wise man, he says, is always
 68  III, 27|       What do you, Epicurus? The wise man is happy even when be
 69  III, 27|         of any other object. The wise man therefore is happy under
 70  III, 28|         plain that they were not wise. They sought wis-dom, indeed;
 71  III, 28|         who professes that he is wise. What, then, does the assumption
 72  III, 28|        has yet been found who is wise? And does any one bear ill-will
 73  III, 28|       deny that philosophers are wise, when they themselves confess
 74  III, 29|          fail to err, wish to be wise in a foolish matter; and
 75  III, 29|    especially doubtful; for to a wise man it is altogether false.
 76  III, 30|         Let him who wishes to be wise and happy hear the voice
 77   IV, 1 |      EVERY AGE, AND OF THE SEVEN WISE MEN OF GREECE.~WHEN I reflect,
 78   IV, 1 |       for themselves the name of wise. For at the time when all
 79   IV, 1 |        at the time when all were wise, no one was called by that
 80   IV, 1 |        were so called was really wise. And yet, before the discovery
 81   IV, 1 |        to be esteemed and called wise men. O wretched and calamitous
 82   IV, 1 |        called a man unless he is wise! But if all the others besides
 83   IV, 1 |         they themselves were not wise, because no one can be truly
 84   IV, 1 |      because no one can be truly wise in the judgment of the foolish.
 85   IV, 1 |        the renown of those seven wise men, it is incredible with
 86   IV, 1 |          did not call themselves wise men, but desirous of wisdom.
 87   IV, 1 |        to themselves the name of wise men, of error and folly,
 88   IV, 1 |          believed that they were wise.~
 89   IV, 2 |      Wherefore, if they were not wise who were so called, nor
 90   IV, 3 |      certainly not the part of a wise man. Since, therefore, as
 91   IV, 3 |       our worship we ought to be wise, that is, to know the proper
 92   IV, 4 |        ignorant of Him cannot be wise or religious. Thus it comes
 93   IV, 6 |         of God, who by that most wise King Solomon, full of divine
 94   IV, 11|           How do you say, We are wise, and the law of the Lord
 95   IV, 11|     deceived and confounded: the wise men are dismayed and taken,
 96   IV, 13|     mortal as to His body, being wise with wondrous works; but
 97   IV, 13|       which he says, that He was wise. What do you reply to this,
 98   IV, 13|        to this, Apollo? If he is wise, then his system of instruction
 99   IV, 13|       and no other; and they are wise who follow it, and no others.
100   IV, 13|       who follow a Master who is wise even by the confession of
101   IV, 16|          greatest prosperity, no wise man would either have believed
102   IV, 16|          extinguished, which the wise never regarded as an object
103   IV, 19|    resurrection: "This my Son is wise, therefore He will not remain
104   IV, 22|    refute those also who are too wise, not without injury to themselves
105   IV, 23|          imagine that no perfect wise man has as vet existed,
106    V, 1 |          the cause why, with the wise and the learned, and the
107    V, 5 |    earlier, and were esteemed as wise before the origin of the
108    V, 12|    religion. If we appear to you wise, imitate us; if foolish,
109    V, 12|           thought this, that the wise man would prefer to be bad
110    V, 12|     riches, as Plautus says, the wise their wisdom: let them leave
111    V, 12|          worshippers of gods are wise, and we are foolish, why
112    V, 12|        why do they fear lest the wise shall be allured by the
113    V, 13| superstition), men doubtless are wise. If boys, if youths are
114    V, 14|       gravity and constancy of a wise man as to be able to be
115    V, 15|       they imagine those who are wise to be foolish has strong
116    V, 16|    removed from the conduct of a wise man: for these earthly things
117    V, 17|     shall conceal it, he will be wise indeed, because he will
118    V, 17|      foolish, and that he who is wise is wicked; and yet that
119    V, 17|      middle of the sea? If he is wise, he will do so; for he must
120    V, 17|        shall do this, he will be wise, but also wicked; if he
121    V, 18|           who, although he was a wise man, as he was called, yet
122    V, 18|        as fools, but as good and wise men. Therefore I do not
123    V, 18|        at once just and foolish, wise and unjust. For he who is
124    V, 18|      right from wrong except the wise man? Thus it comes to pass,
125    V, 18|         just who is foolish, nor wise who is unjust. And if this
126    V, 18|         do these things, and the wise man abstains from sin. Nevertheless
127    V, 18|      gain or advantage, is not a wise man, as Carneades wished
128    V, 18|  improper words and deeds. Now a wise man never gives himself
129    V, 19|  prophets--it is the part of the wise man to despise this present
130    V, 19|       therefore, can think you a wise man, O Laelius, when you
131    V, 20| ancestors, saying that they were wise, that they approved them,
132    V, 20|         cruel in persecuting the wise; and they pretend that they
133    V, 20|         the name of evil, to the wise the name of foolish, to
134    V, 23|        how necessary it is for a wise and just man to be far removed
135    V, 23|      necessary that the just and wise man should be in the power
136    V, 23|           Therefore the just and wise man, because he exercises
137    V, 23|         peculiar to the just and wise man. But he often acts unjustly
138    V, 23|       violence. But the just and wise man, because he deems all
139    V, 23|         the unjust, and that the wise should be insulted by the
140   VI, 3 |         miseries,--an altogether wise discussion, if they knew
141   VI, 6 |      kind is not proposed to the wise man; for it is not virtue
142   VI, 6 |      sought from these as from a wise man; for none of these is
143   VI, 6 |        man; for none of these is wise in the sense in which we
144   VI, 6 |          which we wish the truly wise to be understood. Nor were
145   VI, 6 |          are esteemed and called wise, Marcus Cato and Caius Laelius,
146   VI, 6 |          Caius Laelius, actually wise, nor those well-known seven;
147   VI, 6 |       likeness and appearance of wise men." If therefore wisdom
148   VI, 6 |        is but he who is just and wise. But no one is just and
149   VI, 6 |           But no one is just and wise but he whom God has instructed
150   VI, 7 |     folly of others, are thought wise, being clothed with the
151   VI, 7 |    strong from the inactive, the wise from the foolish; namely,
152   VI, 11|       not think it the part of a wise man to be prevailed upon
153   VI, 12|          the house of a just and wise man ought not to be open
154   VI, 12|        chance have occurred to a wise man, he should not deem
155   VI, 12|         ought to be endured by a wise man, but of that which he
156   VI, 13|      single work of a man who is wise, and just, and worthy of
157   VI, 14|        is taken away. For if the wise man thinks nothing good
158   VI, 15|       think that the mind of the wise man is to be healed, since
159   VI, 16|        whether they think that a wise man ought to rejoice if
160   VI, 18|        of patience, of which the wise man has deprived the good
161   VI, 18|          respect, then, does the wise and good man differ from
162   VI, 18|     taken away from the good and wise man two of the greatest
163   VI, 18|          it is not the part of a wise and good man to wish to
164   VI, 18|          but it is the part of a wise and excellent man not to
165   VI, 22|          it is dis graceful to a wise and good man if he is the
166  VII, 5 |     necessary, that the just and wise man should be engaged in
167  VII, 5 |       hereafter man must be both wise and happy without any evil;
168  VII, 5 |          of immortality, will be wise and free from evil, as God
169  VII, 5 |     necessarily happens that the wise man is accounted as a fool,
170  VII, 17|        miracles many even of the wise shall be enticed by him.
171  VII, 22|        them: in which matter the wise man most foolishly believed
172  VII, 27|      Therefore, if we wish to be wise and happy, not only must
173  VII, 27|         and the foolish shall be wise, and the sick shall be strong,
