501 V, 18 | from wrong except the wise man? Thus it comes to pass,
502 V, 18 | plank from a shipwrecked man, or a horse from one who
503 V, 18 | these things, and the wise man abstains from sin. Nevertheless
504 V, 18 | committing an injury is evil. But man, who has the knowledge of
505 V, 18 | among the chief virtues of man. Now by these things it
506 V, 18 | appears that he is the wisest man who prefers to perish rather
507 V, 18 | advantage, is not a wise man, as Carneades wished it
508 V, 18 | ways. But wisdom falls to man alone. For wisdom is understanding
509 V, 18 | words and deeds. Now a wise man never gives himself to the
510 V, 18 | it is the duty of a good man to correct the errors of
511 V, 18 | way; since the nature of man is social and beneficent,
512 V, 19 | because they think that man is destroyed by death. And
513 V, 19 | part of the most foolish man not to promote the interests
514 V, 19 | But if there remains to man a longer and a better life--
515 V, 19 | is the part of the wise man to despise this present
516 V, 19 | can be paid to virtue by man, since you yourself most
517 V, 19 | riches will you offer to this man? what commands? what kingdoms?
518 V, 19 | therefore, can think you a wise man, O Laelius, when you contradict
519 V, 19 | what if, as Furius said, a man should be dragged away,
520 V, 19 | nothing in the life of man can appear to be so useless,
521 V, 20 | the authority of a mortal man is of no weight), but by
522 V, 20 | preserved and boldly defended by man? I see nothing else in it
523 V, 22 | insinuated themselves into a man, confess it. Thus, being
524 V, 22 | name, they come out of the man. On account of these blows
525 V, 22 | the power and method of man, which consists altogether
526 V, 22 | the soul, in which alone man consists since it is not
527 V, 23 | it is for a wise and just man to be far removed from those
528 V, 23 | necessary that the just and wise man should be in the power of
529 V, 23 | Therefore the just and wise man, because he exercises virtue,
530 V, 23 | On the other hand, the man who lives in prosperity
531 V, 23 | peculiar to the just and wise man. But he often acts unjustly
532 V, 23 | violence. But the just and wise man, because he deems all these
533 V, 23 | necessary that the just man should be subject to the
534 V, 23 | stones wrought by the hand of man, but to the living God,
535 V, 24 | will honour or punish every man according to his deserts.
536 VI, 1 | For that is the duty of man, and in that one object
537 VI, 1 | surpassing majesty requires from man nothing more than innocence
538 VI, 2 | bright a light for the use of man. And when, in so small a
539 VI, 2 | the crops require. Is that man, therefore, to be thought
540 VI, 2 | illustrious and so suited to man as to train men to righteousness.
541 VI, 2 | in behalf of a seditious man Cornelius. And this is plainly
542 VI, 4 | Therefore the righteous man, since he has entered upon
543 VI, 4 | evil things are set before man at the same time, it is
544 VI, 5 | live.~It is virtue for a man to know the nature of everything.~
545 VI, 5 | everything.~It is virtue for a man to know what is right and
546 VI, 5 | things proceed must thrust a man unawares into vices. Therefore,
547 VI, 6 | have this office, to call man away from heavenly things
548 VI, 6 | tend to procure life for man, but either to the acquisition
549 VI, 6 | not proposed to the wise man; for it is not virtue to
550 VI, 6 | things which neither any man, nor death itself, can take
551 VI, 6 | belongs only to the good man. Yet to undertake it is
552 VI, 6 | liberty; and yet the same man, being conquered, perished
553 VI, 6 | taken away." For how can a man be just who injures, who
554 VI, 6 | wisdom? does not the same man confess that it has no existence
555 VI, 6 | from these as from a wise man; for none of these is wise
556 VI, 8 | he ought not to follow man, but God; not to serve these
557 VI, 8 | despising the nature of man, will suffer the greatest
558 VI, 8 | relate the law of God, as a man far removed from the knowledge
559 VI, 9 | maintain the character of a man who is ignorant of God,
560 VI, 9 | gain true virtues, such a man as we have heard that Cimon
561 VI, 9 | exist a perfect and living man; but, however, the whole
562 VI, 9 | calamities and labours to man. For if it is virtue to
563 VI, 9 | because it is evident that man is born to it, it ought
564 VI, 9 | all the hope and safety of man centres in this; this is
565 VI, 10 | say what is to be given to man; although this very thing
566 VI, 10 | which you shall give to man is given to God, for man
567 VI, 10 | man is given to God, for man is the image of God. But,
568 VI, 10 | with God, the second with man. But the former is called
569 VI, 10 | feeling of kindness; so that man should protect, love, and
570 VI, 10 | protect, love, and cherish man, and both receive and afford
571 VI, 10 | derive our origin from one man, whom God created, we are
572 VI, 10 | greatest wickedness to hate a man, even though guilty. On
573 VI, 10 | savage beasts who injure man; who, in opposition to every
574 VI, 10 | have taken away mercy from man, and while they wish to
575 VI, 10 | the poets relate; but one man was formed by God, and from
576 VI, 10 | by God, and from that one man all the earth was filled
577 VI, 10 | therefore we must succour man, who needs help. For, since
578 VI, 10 | to be retained, because man can in no way live without
579 VI, 10 | can in no way live without man. But the preservation of
580 VI, 10 | account of humanity itself, man ought undoubtedly to recognise
581 VI, 10 | undoubtedly to recognise man. But if those ignorant and
582 VI, 11 | humanity than the loving a man because he is a man, and
583 VI, 11 | loving a man because he is a man, and the same as ourselves?
584 VI, 11 | accordance with the nature of man; and that expression of
585 VI, 11 | is true, which says that man, while he is obedient to
586 VI, 11 | to nature, cannot injure man. Therefore, if it is contrary
587 VI, 11 | contrary to nature to injure a man, it must be in accordance
588 VI, 11 | with nature to benefit a man; and he who does not do
589 VI, 11 | himself of the title of a man, because it is the duty
590 VI, 11 | necessity and peril of a man. I ask, therefore, of those
591 VI, 11 | think it the part of a wise man to be prevailed upon and
592 VI, 11 | prevailed upon and to pity, If a man were seized by some beast,
593 VI, 11 | implore the aid of an armed man, whether they think that
594 VI, 11 | they think it the duty of a man not to assist him? They
595 VI, 11 | human being, and of a brave man too, to preserve one who
596 VI, 11 | which imperil the life of man, they allow that it is the
597 VI, 11 | succour is to be withheld if a man should suffer from hunger,
598 VI, 11 | be esteemed by you as a man, whoever it is that implores
599 VI, 11 | because he considers you a man. Cast away those outlines
600 VI, 11 | says, made by the work of man's hand which length of time
601 VI, 12 | you should expect it from man, then that will not be kindness,
602 VI, 12 | to this, that whatever a man has bestowed upon another,
603 VI, 12 | manner of living relates to man, the other to God. Therefore
604 VI, 12 | house of a just and wise man ought not to be open to
605 VI, 12 | is to be done by a just man except that which is a benefit.
606 VI, 12 | utility; nor did the ingenious man conceal what advantage he
607 VI, 12 | advantage, the less he is a good man. He also says, that it is
608 VI, 12 | part of a simple and open man to ingratiate himself in
609 VI, 12 | have occurred to a wise man, he should not deem himself
610 VI, 12 | to be endured by a wise man, but of that which he himself
611 VI, 12 | in the case of an unknown man, we will fulfil the office
612 VI, 12 | wherever there shall be need of man, there we will think that
613 VI, 12 | now afforded, not to the man who is insensible, but to
614 VI, 12 | and hold together as one man. If you are not adequate
615 VI, 13 | almost beyond the measure of man not even to admit to the
616 VI, 13 | mortality does not suffer a man to be pure from every stain,
617 VI, 13 | is the single work of a man who is wise, and just, and
618 VI, 14 | distinguished and excellent gift in man, and that is judged to be
619 VI, 14 | distant from the good of man, who neither enjoined nor
620 VI, 14 | holds the first place in man. It pleases me here to bring
621 VI, 14 | cannot distinguish a liberal man from one who is prodigal (
622 VI, 14 | as they do), or a frugal man from one who is mean, or
623 VI, 14 | one who is mean, or a calm man from one who is slothful,
624 VI, 14 | slothful, or a cautious man from one who is timid? Because
625 VI, 14 | the Stoics take away from man all the affections, by the
626 VI, 14 | taken away. For if the wise man thinks nothing good or evil,
627 VI, 15 | advantageously regulated by man,--a limit being applied,
628 VI, 15 | that there may be left to man as much as is sufficient
629 VI, 15 | means or other to deprive man of powers implanted in him
630 VI, 15 | are altogether given to man at the same time. But if,
631 VI, 15 | they take away vices from man, they also take away virtue,
632 VI, 15 | God, when He first made man, with wonderful foresight
633 VI, 15 | that the mind of the wise man is to be healed, since they
634 VI, 16 | whether they think that a wise man ought to rejoice if he sees
635 VI, 17 | and if this exists in a man, they say that there is
636 VI, 17 | all these, he is judged a man of the greatest fortitude.
637 VI, 17 | things which God promises to man, will despise these riches,
638 VI, 17 | distinguish between the liberal man and the prodigal: that he
639 VI, 17 | may support the life of man, which cannot be replaced;
640 VI, 17 | name than mad, who deprive man, a mild and sociable animal,
641 VI, 17 | of God to the command of man. Likewise it is a virtue
642 VI, 17 | This is that virtuous man, not distinguished by a
643 VI, 18 | me to speak falsely to a man who is a friend and acquaintance;"~
644 VI, 18 | of another. But the just man will omit no opportunity
645 VI, 18 | receive a gift from a poor man; so that if he himself has
646 VI, 18 | proceed out of the mouth of a man who reverences the good
647 VI, 18 | injury on a good and just man, he must bear it with calmness
648 VI, 18 | all. Let him prefer Him to man; let him rather choose that
649 VI, 18 | comes to pass, that a just man is an object of contempt
650 VI, 18 | his enemy, he is judged a man of spirit and activity--
651 VI, 18 | him. And although the good man has it in his power to profit
652 VI, 18 | able to corrupt the just man, so that he will not endeavour
653 VI, 18 | discharge the duty of a good man, and never of a bad man.
654 VI, 18 | man, and never of a bad man. Cicero says in those same
655 VI, 18 | himself that he is a good man who profits those whom he
656 VI, 18 | disgraceful tail to a good man and might represent him
657 VI, 18 | virtues. He said that a good man would inflict injuries if
658 VI, 18 | lose the name of a good man from this very circumstance,
659 VI, 18 | not less the part of a bad man to return an injury than
660 VI, 18 | nothing more worthy of a man, it will immediately be
661 VI, 18 | patience, of which the wise man has deprived the good man.
662 VI, 18 | man has deprived the good man. For this alone causes that
663 VI, 18 | so calamitous to a good man, so opposed to his character,
664 VI, 18 | only of the title of a good man, but even of a man; since
665 VI, 18 | good man, but even of a man; since to injure another,
666 VI, 18 | accordance with the nature of man? For if you provoke cattle
667 VI, 18 | does the wise and good man differ from the evil and
668 VI, 18 | in any way to see, that a man who gives way to grief and
669 VI, 18 | Thus he who imitates a bad man can by no means be good.
670 VI, 18 | away from the good and wise man two of the greatest virtues,
671 VI, 18 | canine s eloquence, be wished man also to live after the manner
672 VI, 18 | it is the part of a good man to dissemble and to endure
673 VI, 18 | part of a wise and good man to wish to contend, and
674 VI, 18 | of a wise and excellent man not to wish to remove his
675 VI, 18 | virtue; and that the just man might obtain this, God willed,
676 VI, 18 | mitigates, this restores a man to himself. Therefore, since
677 VI, 18 | But if he thus acted--a man most widely removed not
678 VI, 19 | uproot the affections from man as diseases, they are opposed
679 VI, 19 | that there is nothing in man which is not produced in
680 VI, 19 | nor why God gave anger to man. And if this was given to
681 VI, 19 | thought more savage than man, what more resembling the
682 VI, 19 | anger has been given to man, may be understood from
683 VI, 19 | which have been given to man for good uses, and they
684 VI, 20 | PLEASURES IN THEBRUTES AND IN MAN; AND OF PLEASURES OFTHE
685 VI, 20 | skilful Creator gave to man pleasure without limit,
686 VI, 20 | or some God has given to man nothing more excellent than
687 VI, 20 | should soothe and captivate man with enjoyments, render
688 VI, 20 | excellent and worthy of man to look upon the heaven
689 VI, 20 | reckons it a pleasure, that a man, though justly condemned,
690 VI, 20 | neither lawful for a just man to engage in warfare, since
691 VI, 20 | difference whether you put a man to death by word, or rather
692 VI, 20 | unlawful to put to death a man, whom God willed to be a
693 VI, 21 | soul and makes you a better man. And especially this sense
694 VI, 22 | graceful to a wise and good man if he is the slave of his
695 VI, 22 | death. For as God calls man to life only through virtue
696 VI, 24 | Thus repentance makes a man cautious and diligent to
697 VI, 24 | a harbour of refuge for man, that the medicine of repentance
698 VI, 24 | than has been said by a man who is ignorant of true
699 VI, 24 | through and knowing the entire man. The same writer says, in
700 VI, 24 | the notice of all, foolish man! What does it profit you
701 VI, 24 | given nothing more divine to man." Likewise, in speaking
702 VI, 24 | speaking of the just and good man, he says: "Therefore such
703 VI, 24 | says: "Therefore such a man will not dare not merely
704 VI, 24 | dwells in his mind. That man is sound, he is just, he
705 VI, 24 | death and blood, but of man and life. And to this sacrifice
706 VI, 24 | is placed in the heart of man, and cannot be defiled with
707 VI, 25 | to be consecrated by each man in his own breast." Therefore,
708 VI, 25 | pleasing to Him which even a man would be justly praised
709 VI, 25 | deals with the justice of man is easily understood. For
710 VI, 25 | easily understood. For if man shall be just, having received
711 VI, 25 | from the mouth of a just man directed towards God. That
712 VII, 1 | narrow by which justice leads man to heaven; no one can keep
713 VII, 2 | already, cannot exist in a man unless it is derived from
714 VII, 2 | teaching of God. For if a man is able to understand divine
715 VII, 2 | between the wisdom of God and man. For because God is incorruptible
716 VII, 2 | to nothing. But because man is subject to passion, his
717 VII, 2 | things hinder the life of man, so that it cannot be perpetual,
718 VII, 2 | inasmuch as the mind of man, being bound up with a frail
719 VII, 2 | known to God alone. But man cannot attain this knowledge
720 VII, 2 | gods; but I think that no man knows. Wherefore all the
721 VII, 3 | unless it is permitted man also to have some power
722 VII, 3 | permit this to be done by man? Unless by chance that divine
723 VII, 3 | mystery of the world and man, of which they, being destitute,
724 VII, 3 | His care, and especially man. to whose command He made
725 VII, 4 | APPEAR EVIL; ON WHAT ACCOUNT MAN ENJOYS REASON IN SO FRAIL
726 VII, 4 | same providence created man and the other animals. Let
727 VII, 4 | not made for the sake of man, but of men. For the naming
728 VII, 4 | they are ignorant that one man only was made by God, and
729 VII, 4 | Hermes was not ignorant that man was both made by God and
730 VII, 4 | were made for the sake of man, is plain from this, that
731 VII, 4 | they are subservient to man, and were given for his
732 VII, 4 | the system of the world as man does. We must here reply
733 VII, 4 | upon, as in passing. Since man is formed of different and
734 VII, 4 | of all these He gave to man that which was most excellent,
735 VII, 4 | reason was either given to man that he might take fishes
736 VII, 4 | and reason, and power of man, for whose sake God made
737 VII, 4 | nothing, but on account of man, who might fitly make use
738 VII, 5 | V. OF THE CREATION OF MAN, AND OF THE ARRANGEMENT
739 VII, 5 | assign the reason why He made man himself. For if the philosophers
740 VII, 5 | known all the mystery of man, the Academy would never
741 VII, 5 | advantages, but for the sake of man, who has the use of it,
742 VII, 5 | use of it, so also He made man himself for His own sake.
743 VII, 5 | advantage is there to God in man, says Epicurus, that He
744 VII, 5 | the world for the sake of man, and man for His own sake,
745 VII, 5 | for the sake of man, and man for His own sake, than that
746 VII, 5 | outstretched hand to have raised man from the ground, and to
747 VII, 5 | does the worship paid by man confer on God, who is blessed,
748 VII, 5 | if He gave such honour to man as to create the world for
749 VII, 5 | when it was befitting that man should be happy, as though
750 VII, 5 | of the world, He formed man from the earth itself, which
751 VII, 5 | of grain, so the body of man, which was taken from the
752 VII, 5 | that He might set before man virtue, that is, endurance
753 VII, 5 | of immortality. For since man consists of two parts, body
754 VII, 5 | lives have been assigned to man: the one temporal, which
755 VII, 5 | immortality might not exist to man without any difficulty.
756 VII, 5 | which is from heaven; but man is upright and looks towards
757 VII, 5 | come, unless it is given to man by God. For otherwise there
758 VII, 5 | the unjust, since every man who is born would become
759 VII, 5 | recompense of virtue. Lastly, man does not immediately upon
760 VII, 5 | this argument teaches that man is born mortal; but that
761 VII, 5 | of God, since God raised man to a view of the heaven
762 VII, 5 | And this takes place when man, purified in the heavenly
763 VII, 5 | becomes a perfect and complete man. ~Therefore, because God
764 VII, 5 | set forth virtue before man, although the soul and the
765 VII, 5 | that the just and wise man should be engaged in all
766 VII, 5 | worshipped, and to be honoured by man as a Father, that he may
767 VII, 5 | grant to the piety of the man, with which he has honoured
768 VII, 5 | offended God, the first man lived in the exercise of
769 VII, 5 | above that the nature of man is made up of opposing elements;
770 VII, 5 | follows of necessity that man is subject to good and evil.
771 VII, 5 | the same time to the first man; and when he understood
772 VII, 5 | wisdom has been given to man that he may disitinguish
773 VII, 5 | But, indeed, hereafter man must be both wise and happy
774 VII, 5 | good be permanent. Then man, having received the garment
775 VII, 5 | body, will be taken from man; wisdom, that he may be
776 VII, 5 | sensible of it. But now, since man is furnished with wisdom
777 VII, 5 | agreement. Therefore He placed man in the midst, between both,
778 VII, 5 | necessarily happens that the wise man is accounted as a fool,
779 VII, 5 | is the cause why God made man mortal, and made him subject
780 VII, 6 | VI. WHY THE WORLD AND MAN WERE CREATED. HOW UNPROFITABLE
781 VII, 6 | vain, as the affairs of man, and the world itself? which,
782 VII, 6 | things by which the life of man is sustained, if it is vain,
783 VII, 7 | plan. For the reason of man's creation belongs to a
784 VII, 7 | know this, he drew down man's life to nothing. Aristo
785 VII, 7 | Aristippus is deceived, who made man subject to pleasure, that
786 VII, 8 | together, that the soul of man could not be otherwise than
787 VII, 8 | that which is ponderous in man, and liable to dissolution,
788 VII, 9 | since God cannot be seen by man, lest any one should imagine
789 VII, 9 | a certain resemblance in man and God. Finally, that proof
790 VII, 9 | thing which distinguishes man from the dumb creation.
791 VII, 9 | And since this falls to man alone, it assuredly testifies
792 VII, 9 | fail to understand that man alone of all animals is
793 VII, 9 | wisdom, which is given to man alone, is nothing else but
794 VII, 9 | proof of immortality that man alone makes use of the heavenly
795 VII, 9 | which is earthly and heavy: man alone makes use of fire,
796 VII, 9 | which it is evident that man who uses it is a partaker
797 VII, 9 | The gift of virtue also to man alone is a great proof that
798 VII, 9 | therefore, virtue both prohibits man from those goods which are
799 VII, 10 | itself shows that the soul of man, if it has received virtue,
800 VII, 10 | good does not happen to man except after death. "A man
801 VII, 10 | man except after death. "A man will go," he says, "with

803 VII, 10 | two lives are proposed to man, of which the one belongs

805 VII, 12 | reproduced at one time in a man, at another time in a sheep,
806 VII, 12 | this opinion of a senseless man, since it is ridiculous
807 VII, 13 | alone, the teaching that man was created for the worship

809 VII, 13 | made one nature, that of man, making the same partly
810 VII, 14 | and when it is given to man; that in this also they

814 VII, 14 | on the sixth day, He made man also, and introduced him

816 VII, 14 | then a mortal and imperfect man was formed from the earth,

821 VII, 21 | flesh with which God clothed man, like this our earthly body,
822 VII, 22 | in which matter the wise man most foolishly believed
823 VII, 23 | the beginning God formed man in some unspeakable manner,
824 VII, 23 | may believe that the old man can be restored by Him who
