1 I, pref| suits has been of great advantage to us, so that we are now 2 I, 3 | injury than they would confer advantage. So, in this government 3 I, 20 | her Lara, or Larunda. What advantage can she, who is unable to 4 I, 21 | and impious deeds." What advantage, then, did the men propose 5 I, 22 | proceeding; for of what advantage was it that the books were 6 II, 17 | done; and as often as any advantage is hanging over any people 7 II, 18 | are unable to afford any advantage to their worshippers, since 8 III, 7 | anything, they bestow no advantage; or if they foolishly rave, 9 III, 8 | knowing, without seeking some advantage from his knowledge? The 10 III, 8 | to be sought, though no advantage was proposed from it; and 11 III, 11 | unproductive as to procure no advantage from itself? That great 12 III, 16 | to have brought so much advantage to the business of men as 13 III, 16 | because they contributed no advantage to life, they neither obeyed 14 III, 17 | which he does to his own advantage. And thus he who hears these 15 III, 17 | benefits has reference to the advantage of another; nor that he 16 III, 19 | But those who assert the advantage of death, because they know 17 III, 19 | survives, death is even an advantage; because immortality follows. 18 III, 23 | and yet to lay it out to advantage; for whatever has been profitable 19 III, 27 | nothing from it. What other advantage is there then in virtue? 20 III, 27 | equanimity? You present to me the advantage of a single hour, or perhaps 21 V, 2 | that weighty adviser of the advantage of others was ignorant not 22 V, 3 | for the sake of gain and advantage, inasmuch as both by their 23 V, 17 | with a view to their own advantage, differing indeed according 24 V, 17 | guidance of nature to their own advantage; therefore that there was 25 V, 18 | an eye to his own gain or advantage, is not a wise man, as Carneades 26 V, 19 | supplies him for his own advantage? And he who begets a son 27 VI, 4 | of these things, present advantage must be put aside, that 28 VI, 4 | greater and more lasting advantage may be gained;--so in the 29 VI, 6 | use of wealth, and what advantage is to be sought from riches, 30 VI, 9 | certainly promoted the public advantage according to the condition 31 VI, 11 | sense of duty, and not by advantage." Why therefore do you bestow 32 VI, 11 | and not according to your advantage: give especially to him 33 VI, 12 | is the chief and truest advantage of riches; not to use wealth 34 VI, 12 | upon another, hoping for no advantage from him, he really bestows 35 VI, 12 | and forcibly apply it to advantage. Cicero says: "Hospitality 36 VI, 12 | ingenious man conceal what advantage he hoped from it. For he 37 VI, 12 | all his actions to his own advantage, the less he is a good man. 38 VI, 12 | studying to promote your own advantage?"

What advantage is there to God in man, 46 VII, 5 | suitably proportioned to the advantage of living beings. Moreover, 47 VII, 6 | in us nothing of greater advantage to God? But if it is unlawful 48 VII, 9 | without hope of greater advantage. For when it is permitted 49 VII, 10 | everlasting. Because the advantage of vices is immediate, therefore
