And yet, that I may not seem to have no opinion 2 I, 8| subjects of this kind, that I may not appear when asked to 3 I, 8| have nothing to offer, I may say, What if the primal 4 I, 9| your wants? and that you may be able to live more softly 5 I, 20| own private wounds, you may rise up for their vengeance? 6 I, 20| indignation, by which it may be clear to all that we 7 I, 23| by insidious devices what may be hurtful to another party. 8 I, 24| to nought, and that they may extort but scanty contributions 9 I, 27| to merit His bounties, we may receive a desire for purity, 10 I, 27| a desire for purity, and may free ourselves from every 11 I, 31| worthy-if only mortal tongue may speak of Thee-that all breathing 12 I, 31| alone, whom no bodily shape may represent, no outline delineate; 13 I, 31| and that erring conjecture may track Thee through the shady 14 I, 39| He, who in other respects may be deemed the very greatest, 15 I, 42| the inner powers; and-what may still further torture unbelievers 16 I, 48| medicine or by what method it may be suitable for persons 17 I, 49| point to one or another who may have been healed, when so 18 I, 49| who has been made whole may seem to have been preserved 19 I, 49| chance, and he who is not may appear to have been unable 20 II, 5| of fear that these things may be true which are despised 21 II, 5| refuse to believe, time may too late show to be true, 22 II, 7| this account, that while it may happen that we at times 23 II, 13| you are anxious, that you may cleave to your bodies as 24 II, 14| they are such that they may on the one hand perish if 25 II, 16| the danger of starvation may be avoided, and carking 26 II, 19| declare or teach, than that we may learn to know the rules 27 II, 19| different tones, that we may speak persuasively in lawsuits, 28 II, 19| persuasively in lawsuits, that we may measure the confines of 29 II, 20| 20. And, that we may show you more clearly and 30 II, 20| devise a way in which it may be lighted not by the introduction 31 II, 22| bodies with all knowledge-we may make trial from this child, 32 II, 26| however thoroughly they may have been enclosed in bodies. 33 II, 27| simple, in whatever it may be, must always retain its 34 II, 27| bringing an end of life which may not be escaped from; and 35 II, 28| 28. And yet, that we may not be as ignorant when 36 II, 32| gentler ways, that they may be able to be ready for 37 II, 32| and impostors; and that we may not be inconvenienced by 38 II, 33| find wings with which you may rise to heaven and soar 39 II, 34| these blessings, that we may at once escape a death of 40 II, 35| is there anything which may withstand His will, or does 41 II, 37| necessary, so that they may not be believed to have 42 II, 47| incurring any censure, we may not know who, indeed, gave 43 II, 49| are, or have been, that we may judge from their number 44 II, 49| limited in number, and it may be within the reach of names. 45 II, 50| with the very wicked, we may be led to believe that there 46 II, 50| qualities; who, that it may be impossible for them to 47 II, 50| inheritances, that they may remove from themselves occasions 48 II, 50| blameable, although he may strive with all zeal and 49 II, 52| unknown to us by name, which may have fashioned the human 50 II, 52| with things as established; may it not be that men sprang 51 II, 55| pleasures, which every one may ask in all his prayers to 52 II, 56| plausible arguments, although it may be very manifestly untrue, 53 II, 56| manifestly untrue, although it may be a plain and evident falsehood? 54 II, 56| themselves to all with which they may both establish the truth 55 II, 57| receive that as true which it may be is not, and is brought 56 II, 60| the ears of unbelievers may burst and be rent asunder, 57 II, 62| sacrifice what victims it may, let the wise deny themselves 58 II, 65| suffer violence, that you may do and may be compelled 59 II, 65| violence, that you may do and may be compelled to take to 60 II, 65| access to the light: nor may men either creep in or enter 61 II, 68| senate, that reddish ones may be offered? While during 62 II, 75| 75. You may object and rejoin, Why was 63 II, 75| human limbs? So, then, it may be that Almighty God, the 64 II, 76| or flee from it, that we may be the more easily released 65 II, 78| ourselves, through which that may seem false which we do not 66 III, 2| diverge, that our defence may not, through its being too 67 III, 2| religions on an equality? We may say for the present: In 68 III, 4| reputation and name? For it may be that beings exist whom 69 III, 5| but in the universe it may perhaps be that there are 70 III, 5| hundred thousand; there may be even more than this,- 71 III, 5| said a little before, it may not be possible to compute 72 III, 6| draw near whithersoever you may have summoned us; if only 73 III, 6| upon us, and with whom it may be right to share the reverence 74 III, 8| that no thoughtless person may raise a false accusation 75 III, 8| is fleeting and transient may endure being ever renewed 76 III, 9| each for its own end, so we may well believe that these 77 III, 11| misfortunes, that so they may avenge themselves, being 78 III, 12| wisdom, through whom you may be able to learn how best 79 III, 14| half-naked, bare; or, that cold may not annoy them, covered 80 III, 16| since you believe that they may be enraged, do you think 81 III, 18| Him? has He not sight? He may in His own, but not in our 82 III, 18| through which the sound may steal, bearing the meaning 83 III, 21| heaven, that the nine sisters may gracefully combine and harmonize 84 III, 21| woods, groves, that Diana may be esteemed very mighty 85 III, 21| the inspired son of Latona may explain and declare what 86 III, 21| greater divinity, so that he may be rightly said and esteemed 87 III, 21| there anything by which they may be wounded and hurt, so 88 III, 21| occasion, he of Epidaurus may come to their assistance? 89 III, 21| they bring forth, that Juno may soothe, and Lucina abridge 90 III, 21| Vulcan, the lord of fire, may form for them swords, or 91 III, 21| that the Tritonian maid may, with nice skill, spin, 92 III, 21| the descendant of Atlas may carry off the prize for 93 III, 22| that their mode of life may be more civilized. But he 94 III, 27| 27. Now we may apply this very argument 95 III, 29| Now this very argument may, in like manner, be applied 96 III, 38| passing that by which, it may be, does exist. Piso believes 97 III, 43| other relieves distresses,-may it not be of some importance 98 III, 43| involved in guilt which may not be forgiven. 99 III, 44| others in their place, it may well be doubted of them 100 IV, 5| accident of the moment, may have placed us. If I look 101 IV, 6| earthen vessels that they may not fly in pieces, overcome 102 IV, 8| that Peta, Puta, Patella may graciously favour you,-if 103 IV, 10| own peculiar guardians, we may in like manner introduce 104 IV, 11| form such conceptions, you may have offended the gods who 105 IV, 11| and give answers which may be relied on, to those who 106 IV, 12| seen in lungs or livers? May it not happen, may it not 107 IV, 12| livers? May it not happen, may it not come to pass, although 108 IV, 12| those who are not, that they may both strengthen your superstitious 109 IV, 13| one? some one will ask. We may perhaps, being instructed 110 IV, 15| action, however unwilling you may be that it should be so, 111 IV, 17| 17. We may say the very same things 112 IV, 21| perhaps this foul pollution may be less apparent in the 113 IV, 26| cup-bearer; and Fabius, that he may be called Jove's darling, 114 IV, 27| that, however unwilling you may be, we believe them to be 115 IV, 29| light with noble candour. We may, I repeat, at pleasure, 116 IV, 31| neglect. For this, perhaps, may be held and believed from 117 IV, 31| and expiatory offerings may be demanded, guilt is said 118 IV, 36| that the idle onlookers may be excited to laughter and 119 V, 2| should strive that they may be believed to be false-even 120 V, 2| appoints the means by which may be averted that which he 121 V, 2| determined should be done may be done altogether in vain, 122 V, 2| altogether in vain, and may pass away idly through the 123 V, 7| begged by Acdestis that Attis may be restored to life: he 124 V, 10| works, that that sacred seed may not seem to have been poured 125 V, 12| issue on this point: he may have been of divine birth, 126 V, 20| mysteries so filthy, but that it may be made clear to you again 127 V, 20| wish than to punish as she may her son's audacity. 128 V, 24| have, what causes, that we may prove that Athens itself 129 V, 27| of misery? and that they may be able to turn their mind 130 V, 29| filthiness of so pure a religion may not creep into the mind? 131 V, 30| altogether, although he may seem to adopt monstrous 132 V, 33| stand out. And yet, that we may not seem unwilling to examine 133 V, 34| Jupiter and Ceres; another may both devise with greater 134 V, 34| else; a third, a fourth may do the same; and as the 135 V, 34| themselves, so each thing may be explained in an infinite 136 V, 36| and alien senses? For it may be that what you believe 137 V, 36| simply, that which is simple may as well be thought to have 138 V, 38| of Sulla? A proscription may indeed, as Tullius says 139 V, 42| this only is left which you may think can be brought forward 140 V, 44| changes of form? :that we may not seem to speak of Jupiter 141 VI, 2| 2. For-that you may learn what are our sentiments 142 VI, 2| gods. that the same things may be said again till you are 143 VI, 4| sun; but in order that we may be able to see them in person 144 VI, 5| be nowhere present, if he may at times not be anywhere, 145 VI, 8| true beings to whom you may pour forth prayers, and 146 VI, 8| prayers, and from whom you may, ask help in trying circumstances? 147 VI, 8| necessary to see what he may hold, lest that which being 148 VI, 8| being obscure is not seen, may happen to be vain. 149 VI, 10| resemblance to the gods? For it may happen that in heaven one 150 VI, 12| each is put an end to, god may be believed to be god, one 151 VI, 12| believed to be god, one may seem to be the other, nay, 152 VI, 12| the other, nay, more, both may be considered both! 153 VI, 14| been heaped together, it may be, from a harlot's gauds 154 VI, 16| spun by spiders, that they may be able to entangle in them 155 VI, 17| that the meanest things may be able to become of greater 156 VII, 1| truer, and one which any one may adopt, although he may be 157 VII, 1| one may adopt, although he may be stupid and very hard 158 VII, 5| this purpose, that they may lay aside their anger and 159 VII, 5| anger and passions, and may be restored to a calm and 160 VII, 6| toss food, upon which they may rage madly, and turn their 161 VII, 8| puppets, with which they may be able to divert themselves, 162 VII, 8| you, that for them they may lay aside their resentment, 163 VII, 8| those who pardon offences may be bought. 164 VII, 9| should be slain, that you may be soothed, and the guilty 165 VII, 9| that the angry deities may be soothed; since reason 166 VII, 10| grant our prayers, they may give us prosperity and avert 167 VII, 12| disasters. But perhaps they may say something of importance 168 VII, 12| undergo whatever perils may befall them, while they 169 VII, 15| whatever condition they may be? What, pray, you ask, 170 VII, 15| others. And yet, that we may see the nature of what is 171 VII, 17| imagined, in order that things may be seen more clearly-if 172 VII, 18| as we are concerned, they may all be gods who are believed 173 VII, 18| avoid tough ox-beef that he may not overtax his weak stomach, 174 VII, 18| tender sucklings that he may digest them more speedily? 175 VII, 20| you not see-that we, too, may joke with you stupidly, 176 VII, 20| creatures, despoiled it may be, and shorn, to draw the 177 VII, 20| soot and ashes, that this may lose its purple hue, that 178 VII, 20| purple hue, that the others may become ghastly. But if you 179 VII, 23| the one party that they may show layout, but to the 180 VII, 23| to the others that they may not do you harm,-with what 181 VII, 23| are worshipped that they may be favourable, and supplication 182 VII, 23| the contrary, that they may not be injurious, it follows 183 VII, 27| 27. Finally, that we may always abide by the rule 184 VII, 28| with a similar feeling? May it not be possible that 185 VII, 29| of wine, that their food may be more easily softened, 186 VII, 30| honour; that their eminence may become more exalted, more 187 VII, 31| that which is poured out, may not begin to be sacred, 188 VII, 32| auspicious salutations that they may be in good health? Are they 189 VII, 32| from sleep; and that they may be able to be overcome by 190 VII, 32| have couches; and that they may be able to lie on softer 191 VII, 37| himself an image which he may worship for a god, or slaughters 192 VII, 41| front, as the saying is, may stun the ears, and deceive 193 VII, 44| added to it, that disgust may not be produced by excess. 194 VII, 44| sinuous coils; and that he may be able to go forward, he 195 VII, 45| a large gullet, that he may gulp down the food sought 196 VII, 45| it, and a place where he may digest the flesh which he 197 VII, 45| and devoured, that blood may be given to his body, and 198 VII, 45| a conveyance on which he may be borne; he avoids the 199 VII, 45| of the sea; and that he may be safe and sound, he goes 200 VII, 50| the Pessinuntine stone? We may say, by the zeal and valour 201 VII, 50| time, wisdom, reason; we may say, by fate also, and the 202 VII, 51| mortal is there, although he may be credulous and very ready
