102 II, 9 | THE WORLD,GOD, PROVIDENCE, MAN, AND HIS WISDOM.~I will
103 II, 9 | reduce to the weakness of man, to whom you allow nothing
104 II, 9 | divine power differ from man, if God also, as man does,
105 II, 9 | from man, if God also, as man does, stands in need of
106 II, 9 | provided, which is the part of man. The builder will erect

108 II, 9 | which God made it. But, that man might not look into the
109 II, 9 | Therefore it was necessary that man should be last made, when
110 II, 9 | sacred writings teach that man was the last work of God,
111 II, 9 | dominion over the rest. Man was produced."~So impious
112 II, 9 | that house was not built by man, because you did not know
113 II, 9 | hands, with what implements, man had contrived such great
114 II, 9 | skill and ingenuity? But if man, in whom nothing is perfect,
115 II, 9 | how far it is permitted man to approach. In short, when
116 II, 9 | God revealed the truth to man, He wished us only to know
117 II, 9 | things which it concerned man to know for the attainment
118 II, 9 | It is perfect wisdom in man, if he knows that there
119 II, 10 | as a dwelling-place for man, with the other races of
120 II, 10 | essential for the production of man, and for the sustaining
121 II, 10 | other has been assigned to man alone. For we, being a heavenly
122 II, 11 | OF LIVING CREATURES, OF MAN; PROMETHEUS, DEUCALION,
123 II, 11 | more perfect: He formed man out of the dust of the ground,
124 II, 11 | from which he was called man, because He was made from
125 II, 11 | Thou art my image, O man, possessed of right reason."~
126 II, 11 | respecting this formation of man, however they may have corrupted
127 II, 11 | corrupted it; for they said that man was made by Prometheus from
128 II, 11 | wonderful and divine a work to man. For what need was there
129 II, 11 | what need was there that man should be formed of clay,
130 II, 11 | Iapetus? For if he was a man, he was able to beget a
131 II, 11 | he was able to beget a man, but not to make one. But
132 II, 11 | Prometheus the maker of man, when his son Deucalion
133 II, 11 | Prometheus made the image of a man of rich and soft clay, and
134 II, 11 | began also to be ascribed to man, who imitated the divine
135 II, 11 | making of the true and living man from clay is the work of
136 II, 11 | who not only says that man was made by God, after the
137 II, 11 | with the exception of one man. And if this deluge happened
138 II, 11 | revert to the origin of man.~
139 II, 12 | Contriver of all things, made man. And even Cicero, though
140 II, 12 | and design, which we call man, was produced by the supreme
141 II, 12 | them." Do you see that the man, although far removed from
142 II, 12 | wisdom, understood that man could not be produced except
143 II, 12 | testimony, lest that of man should be insufficient.
144 II, 12 | The Sibyl testifies that man is the work of God:--~"He

146 II, 13 | woman after the image of the man himself, that the two by
147 II, 13 | multitude. But in the making of man himself He concluded and
148 II, 13 | the formation of our body. Man, therefore, was made from
149 II, 13 | contend against each other in man: so that if the soul, which
150 II, 13 | of which is developed in man, those things which belong
151 II, 13 | the notice of a dissolute man, Sallust, who says: "But
152 II, 13 | things, God, having made man in the manner in which I
153 II, 13 | artifices to beguile the man, that he might deprive him
154 II, 13 | instrumentality he also persuaded the man himself to transgress the
155 II, 13 | Then God drove out the man from the garden, having
156 II, 13 | prevent the approach of the man until He execute the last
157 II, 13 | Death therefore followed man, according to the sentence
158 II, 13 | teaches in her verse, saying:"Man made by the very hands of
159 II, 13 | evil." Thus the life of man became limited in duration;
160 II, 13 | why or when the life of man was shortened, he himself
161 II, 13 | that it was possible for man to live a thousand and four
162 II, 14 | multitude, He chose one man, who, when all were corrupted,
163 II, 14 | gradually diminished the age of man by each successive generation,
164 II, 16 | piety, for over a pious man neither evil demon nor fate
165 II, 16 | for God rescues the pious man from all evil; for the one
166 II, 17 | which is the result of man's condition. But that guardian
167 II, 18 | thing, that the image of a man should be worshipped by
168 II, 18 | Creator and Father, who made man of an erect figure, that
169 II, 19 | the obligations to which man is liable, and to maintain
170 II, 19 | for whatever lies beneath man must necessarily be inferior
171 II, 19 | necessarily be inferior to man; but let him seek it aloft,
172 II, 19 | nothing can be greater than man, except that which is above
173 II, 19 | except that which is above man. But God is greater than
174 II, 19 | But God is greater than man: therefore He is above,
175 II, 19 | may be plain to a wise man from the very name. For
176 II, 19 | altogether wise, he just, he a man: he, in short, will be judged
177 II, 20 | found by the abilities of man.~
178 III, 1 | God has made the nature of man most desirous of arriving
179 III, 1 | when God was speaking to man, He should confirm His words
180 III, 3 | property does not belong to man, but to God. But the nature
181 III, 3 | which cannot be known by man! Rightly therefore did Socrates,
182 III, 4 | rather of a rash and foolish man. Therefore if nothing can
183 III, 4 | and peculiar knowledge in man on account of the frailty
184 III, 6 | they attributed too much to man; the latter, because they
185 III, 6 | character which belongs to man, that is, knowledge united
186 III, 6 | itself. But the evasive man wished to take away learning
187 III, 8 | true and highest good of man; but before I begin to speak
188 III, 8 | is respecting the duty of man, the chief good of the chief
189 III, 8 | ought to be attributed to man, without which he would
190 III, 8 | Therefore he was not a wise man who believed that pleasure
191 III, 8 | one can regard him as a man: for he lived in such a
192 III, 8 | labour, which affords this to man, but nature herself bestows
193 III, 8 | subject of dispute--common to man with the beasts. For goods
194 III, 8 | dumb creatures than for man; and I know not if they
195 III, 8 | necessary for them, because man can be relieved by remedies
196 III, 8 | goods of fortune; for as man has need of resources for
197 III, 8 | not within the power of man, they made man altogether
198 III, 8 | power of man, they made man altogether subject to the
199 III, 8 | ought to be absent from man: they are eager for pleasures,
200 III, 8 | different from the nature of man, because man is born to
201 III, 8 | the nature of man, because man is born to virtue, he says
202 III, 8 | gave something peculiar to man; but men desire I knowledge
203 III, 8 | things are not peculiar to man, and therefore they are
204 III, 8 | of food does not exist in man alone, but also in the brutes.
205 III, 8 | knowledge produces are common to man with other animals, it follows
206 III, 8 | is to be hoped by it from man, nor is any evil to be refused.~
207 III, 9 | must be the property of man alone, and not belong to
208 III, 9 | fixed as the chief good for man. Anaxagoras, when asked
209 III, 9 | condition, he cannot even he a man. But let us imagine that
210 III, 9 | placing the whole duty of man in the eyes alone, referring
211 III, 9 | would he lose the duty of a man, which cannot happen without
212 III, 9 | put aside, the business of man is to be placed in the mind
213 III, 9 | if any one should ask a man who is truly wise for what
214 III, 9 | good works. But he, as a man ignorant of divine things,
215 III, 9 | have completed the duty of man; for as much as the soul
216 III, 9 | The object proposed to man is therefore plain and easy,
217 III, 10 | THE PECULIAR PROPERTY OF MAN TO KNOW AND WORSHIP GOD.~
218 III, 10 | Therefore the chief good of man is in religion only; for
219 III, 10 | supposed to be peculiar to man, are found in the other
220 III, 10 | sportiveness, they fawn upon man, or upon their own mates
221 III, 10 | since they often deceive man himself? For those which
222 III, 10 | things which are given to man are common to him with other
223 III, 10 | the protection of life, to man also for its prolongation.
224 III, 10 | reason itself is perfect in man, it is named wisdom, which
225 III, 10 | named wisdom, which renders man distinguished in this respect,
226 III, 10 | says, "there is none except man which has any knowledge
227 III, 10 | religion, and thus deprive man of his peculiar and surpassing
228 III, 10 | everything connected with man, because God, who made all
229 III, 10 | living creatures subject to man, also made man subject to
230 III, 10 | subject to man, also made man subject to Himself. What
231 III, 10 | abdicates the office of man. Therefore the ignorant
232 III, 11 | this to be the nature of man, that he should be desirous
233 III, 11 | inasmuch as the duty of man, and all truth, are included
234 III, 11 | but this is common also to man with the beasts, and has
235 III, 11 | nothing more worthy of a wise man. For if vices are to be
236 III, 12 | There are two parts of which man is made up, soul and body.
237 III, 12 | whether you contend with a man or beast, the contest is
238 III, 12 | falls within the power of man, which no one can deny,
239 III, 12 | For it is impossible for a man to be wretched who is endued
240 III, 12 | source that the spirit of man is not mortal, since it
241 III, 12 | fall to the condition of man in that manner in which
242 III, 13 | speaking, but about the wise man, whose learning is concerned
243 III, 13 | are not able to render a man happy, it remains that the
244 III, 13 | obligations and settled course of man's life. Let them know, therefore,
245 III, 13 | or a false opinion. But man, such as he is, if he trusts
246 III, 13 | that is, if he trusts in man, is (not to say foolish,
247 III, 13 | that which the condition of man does not admit of. And how
248 III, 13 | rise from the dead, that a man of such consummate eloquence
249 III, 14 | it to be discovered by a man,--as though that man whom
250 III, 14 | by a man,--as though that man whom he praises had found
251 III, 14 | but because He created man, who might be capable of
252 III, 14 | But he praised Him as a man; whereas He ought to have
253 III, 14 | it not be right that this man should be enrolled among
254 III, 14 | have been discovered by man. But he may be pardoned
255 III, 14 | made the world and created man, who bestowed wisdom also
256 III, 14 | philosophers, not a single wise man has yet existed. What, then,
257 III, 15 | Seneca also says: "The wise man will even do things which
258 III, 15 | the ignorant do, the wise man also will do, but not in
259 III, 15 | entrust your children to this man for education, that they
260 III, 16 | because it is agreed upon that man is not born to folly, but
261 III, 16 | agreement with the nature of man, it must have had its commencement
262 III, 16 | commencement together with man; but if it is not in agreement
263 III, 17 | he releases the covetous man from giving largesses to
264 III, 17 | he prohibits the inactive man from undertaking the business
265 III, 17 | the conduct of men; the man who is unfeeling and selfish
266 III, 17 | any one, for that the wise man does everything on his own
267 III, 17 | on his own account. To a man who avoids the crowd, solitude
268 III, 17 | on water and meal. If a man hates his wife, the blessings
269 III, 17 | no bond of nature. To the man who is delicate and incapable
270 III, 17 | greatest of all evils; to the man of fortitude, it is said
271 III, 17 | it is said that the wise man is happy even under tortures.
272 III, 17 | even under tortures. The man who devotes himself to the
273 III, 17 | of kings. Thus the crafty man collects an assembly from
274 III, 17 | been made. And the divine man found subjects of censure.
275 III, 17 | could easily show that this man was neither wise nor of
276 III, 17 | in intellect the race of man, and quenched the light
277 III, 17 | philosophers, but concerning a man who, though of sound mind
278 III, 17 | of the lion. But the same man also releases us from the
279 III, 17 | pleasure, and said that man was born for its enjoyment.
280 III, 17 | is the part of the wise man to do evil, if it is advantageous
281 III, 17 | the part of the foolish man to do good; because, as
282 III, 17 | maintains that the wise man does everything for his
283 III, 17 | to be feared by a brave man, nor any pain; for that
284 III, 17 | the expression of a wise man, since it can most fittingly
285 III, 18 | or what was the nature of man. Many therefore of them,
286 III, 18 | because he is a destroyer of man, he who puts himself to
287 III, 18 | because he puts to death a man. Yea, that crime may be
288 III, 18 | believe that foolish old man, who falsely said that he
289 III, 18 | doubtless the trifling old man (as is wont to be the case
290 III, 18 | folly of this most trifling man is deserving of ridicule.
291 III, 19 | the assumption that every man at his birth is presented
292 III, 19 | no difference whether a man be Aristides or Phalaris,
293 III, 19 | Cato or Catiline? But a man does not perceive this opposition
294 III, 19 | next place, that he was a man rather than a woman; that
295 III, 19 | flame obliquely. The wise man therefore imagined, that
296 III, 19 | with the sensibility of a man, so as to understand and
297 III, 19 | was born that can invest a man with wisdom. Of what avail
298 III, 20 | Socrates himself, that a wise man deservedly gave thanks that
299 III, 20 | error or some accident a man has happened to see them,
300 III, 20 | their place. But the same man swore by a dog and a goose.
301 III, 20 | senseless, abandoned, desperate man, if he wished to scoff at
302 III, 20 | in whose times the wise man congratulates himself as
303 III, 21 | the sovereignty to this man of such justice and equity,
304 III, 21 | certain to be loved? What man will love a woman, or what
305 III, 21 | a woman, or what woman a man, unless they shall always
306 III, 22 | employed on the mind of man. He, therefore, who wishes
307 III, 22 | repel them. But this wise man, contrary to the custom
308 III, 23 | For since the nature of man is more feeble than that
309 III, 23 | things has been given to man, he has received in the
310 III, 23 | protect each other. For if a man were rendered savage by
311 III, 23 | by the sight of another man, which we see happen in
312 III, 25 | since, if wisdom is given to man, it is given to all without
313 III, 25 | light? But if the nature of man is capable of wisdom, it
314 III, 25 | within the whole memory of man; nor slaves, except Phaedo
315 III, 25 | me, who was angry with a man because he did not throw
316 III, 26 | daily proofs. Give me a man who is passionate, scurrilous,
317 III, 26 | with full hands. Give me a man who is afraid of pain and
318 III, 26 | true clemency. Give me a man who is unjust, foolish,
319 III, 26 | infused into the breast of man, by one impulse it once
320 III, 26 | entirely change the whole man, and having put off the
321 III, 26 | and having put off the old man, render him new, that you
322 III, 27 | imagines himself to be a man, just as he is, who enjoins
323 III, 27 | the part of a most foolish man to be willing to obey their
324 III, 27 | more strongly. The wise man, he says, is always happy;
325 III, 27 | him? Especially, because a man who is devoted to pleasure
326 III, 27 | himself the character of a man of fortitude, and that to
327 III, 27 | you, Epicurus? The wise man is happy even when be is
328 III, 27 | happiness of life? Is it that a man may die with equanimity?
329 III, 27 | any other object. The wise man therefore is happy under
330 III, 27 | therefore of no profit that man is so made, that with upright
331 III, 28 | more wretched than this man, who thus lies prostrate?
332 III, 29 | doubtful; for to a wise man it is altogether false.
333 III, 29 | disgraceful, therefore, for a man of talent to say that, which
