   2 1 |      government~of my temper.~ From the reputation and remembrance
   3 1 |            living, far removed from the habits of the rich.~ From
   4 1 |          removed from the habits of the rich.~ From my great-grandfather,
   5 1 |          governor, to be neither of the green nor of the blue party~
   6 1 |         neither of the green nor of the blue party~at the games
   7 1 |            nor of the blue party~at the games in the Circus, nor
   8 1 |          blue party~at the games in the Circus, nor a partizan either
   9 1 |            nor a partizan either of the Parmularius~or the Scutarius
  10 1 |        either of the Parmularius~or the Scutarius at the gladiators'
  11 1 |     Parmularius~or the Scutarius at the gladiators' fights; from
  12 1 |     jugglers about~incantations and the driving away of daemons
  13 1 |          skin, and~whatever else of the kind belongs to the Grecian
  14 1 |         else of the kind belongs to the Grecian discipline.~ From
  15 1 |            From Rusticus I received the impression that my character
  16 1 |            and not to walk about in the~house in my outdoor dress,
  17 1 |           nor to do other things of the kind; and~to write my letters
  18 1 |       letters with simplicity, like the letter which Rusticus~wrote
  19 1 |           for being~acquainted with the discourses of Epictetus,
  20 1 |            reason; and to be always the same, in sharp pains, on
  21 1 |            same, in sharp pains, on the~occasion of the loss of
  22 1 |           pains, on the~occasion of the loss of a child, and in
  23 1 |            in a living example that the same man can be both most~
  24 1 |         philosophical principles as the~smallest of his merits;
  25 1 |         benevolent disposition, and the example of a family~governed
  26 1 |           in a fatherly manner, and the idea of living conformably
  27 1 |             to look carefully after~the interests of friends, and
  28 1 |       without consideration: he had the power of~readily accommodating
  29 1 |           than any flattery; and at the same time he was most~highly
  30 1 |     associated with him: and he had the~faculty both of discovering
  31 1 |     intelligent and~methodical way, the principles necessary for
  32 1 |        ostentation.~ From Alexander the grammarian, to refrain from
  33 1 |            dexterously to~introduce the very expression which ought
  34 1 |           to have been used, and in~the way of answer or giving
  35 1 |         joining in an inquiry~about the thing itself, not about
  36 1 |             thing itself, not about the word, or by some other fit~
  37 1 |          affection.~ From Alexander the Platonic, not frequently
  38 1 |           nor~continually to excuse the neglect of duties required
  39 1 |             and from him I received the idea of a polity in~which
  40 1 |            polity in~which there is the same law for all, a polity
  41 1 |        equal freedom of speech, and the idea of a~kingly government
  42 1 |          which respects most of all the freedom of the~governed;
  43 1 |          most of all the freedom of the~governed; I learned from
  44 1 |             and a just admixture in the moral character of sweetness~
  45 1 |      disguise his vexation, nor, on the other hand, was he ever~
  46 1 |         falsehood; and he~presented the appearance of a man who
  47 1 |             better man. He had also the art of being~humorous in
  48 1 |          unchangeable~resolution in the things which he had determined
  49 1 |             anything to propose for the common weal; and undeviating~
  50 1 |          derived from experience of the occasions for vigorous action~
  51 1 |     circumstances, always~found him the same. I observed too his
  52 1 |             off, and to provide for~the smallest without display;
  53 1 |            to be ever watchful over the things~which were necessary
  54 1 |            which were necessary for the administration of the empire,
  55 1 |           for the administration of the empire, and to be a~good
  56 1 |             to be a~good manager of the expenditure, and patiently
  57 1 |             and patiently to endure the blame~which he got for such
  58 1 |       superstitious with~respect to the gods, nor did he court men
  59 1 |       please them, or by flattering the populace; but he showed
  60 1 |            nor~love of novelty. And the things which conduce in
  61 1 |         which conduce in any way to the~commodity of life, and of
  62 1 |             seldom stood in need of~the physician's art or of medicine
  63 1 |           eloquence or knowledge of the~law or of morals, or of
  64 1 |         always~acted conformably to the institutions of his country,
  65 1 |             but he loved to stay in the same places, and to~employ
  66 1 |             to~employ himself about the same things; and after his
  67 1 |             prudence and economy in~the exhibition of the public
  68 1 |        economy in~the exhibition of the public spectacles and the
  69 1 |           the public spectacles and the construction of public~buildings,
  70 1 |         buildings, his donations to the people, and in such things,
  71 1 |            ought to be done, not to the reputation which~is got
  72 1 |             s acts. He did not take the bath at unseasonable~hours;
  73 1 |        about what he~ate, nor about the texture and colour of his
  74 1 |           of his clothes, nor about the~beauty of his slaves. His
  75 1 |           from Lorium, his villa on the~coast, and from Lanuvium
  76 1 |           We know how he behaved to the~toll-collector at Tusculum
  77 1 |            say, anything carried to the sweating~point; but he examined
  78 1 |          strong enough both to bear the one and to be~sober in the
  79 1 |          the one and to be~sober in the other is the mark of a man
  80 1 |            be~sober in the other is the mark of a man who has a
  81 1 |          soul, such as he showed in the illness of Maximus.~ To
  82 1 |             illness of Maximus.~ To the gods I am indebted for having
  83 1 |          good. Further, I owe it to the gods~that I was not hurried
  84 1 |          circumstances as put me to the~trial. Further, I am thankful
  85 1 |           Further, I am thankful to the gods that I was not longer~
  86 1 |     concubine, and that I preserved the~flower of my youth, and
  87 1 |         proof of my virility~before the proper season, but even
  88 1 |           season, but even deferred the time; that I was~subjected
  89 1 |         from me, and to bring me to the knowledge that it is possible~

  92 1 |       things which must be done for the public interest in a manner
  93 1 |             befits a ruler. I thank the gods for giving me such
  94 1 |            over myself,~and who, at the same time, pleased me by
  95 1 |            in rhetoric, poetry, and the other~studies, in which

 113 2 |            meet with the~busy-body, the ungrateful, arrogant, deceitful,

 115 2 |             have seen the nature of the good that it is~beautiful,
 116 2 |             it is~beautiful, and of the bad that it is ugly, and
 117 2 |            bad that it is ugly, and the nature of him who~does wrong,

 135 2 |             is for the advantage of the whole universe, of which

 167 2 |            a true philosopher, that the offences which are committed
 168 2 |            philosophy, he said that the offence which is~committed
 169 2 |         committed~with pain; and on the whole the one is more like
 170 2 |         with pain; and on the whole the one is more like a person
 171 2 |          compelled to be angry; but the other~is moved by his own
 172 2 |          thing to be afraid of, for~the gods will not involve thee
 173 2 |       things, and they~have put all the means in man's power to
 174 2 |          into~real evils. And as to the rest, if there was anything
 175 2 |       through ignorance, nor~having the knowledge, but not the power
 176 2 |       having the knowledge, but not the power to guard against or
 177 2 |         things, is it possible that the nature of the universe has~

 185 2 |            those which attract with the~bait of pleasure or terrify

 187 2 |          all this it is the part of the intellectual faculty to~
 188 2 |      reputation; what death is, and the fact that, if a man looks
 189 2 |             at it~in itself, and by the abstractive power of reflection
 190 2 |       resolves into~their parts all the things which present themselves

 197 2 |            by conjecture what is in the minds of his neighbours,~
 198 2 |             sufficient to attend to the daemon~within him, and to
 199 2 |         sincerely. And reverence of the daemon~consists in keeping

 201 2 |            men. For the things from~the gods merit veneration for
 202 2 |           for their excellence; and the things from~men should be

 205 2 |        shortest are thus brought to the~same. For the present is
 206 2 |            brought to the~same. For the present is the same to all,
 207 2 |            same. For the present is the same to all, though that
 208 2 |          that which perishes~is not the same; and so that which
 209 2 |            a man cannot lose either the past or the future: for~

 211 2 |             thou must bear in mind; the one, that all things from~

 451 4 |             eternity?- But how does the earth contain the bodies
 452 4 |          how does the earth contain the bodies of those who~have
 453 4 |         time so remote? For as here the mutation of~these bodies

 458 4 |           in this way make~room for the fresh souls which come to
 459 4 |            dwell there. And this is the~answer which a man might
