2 1 | frequented public schools,~and to have had good teachers at home,
3 1 | freedom of speech; and to have become~intimate with philosophy;
4 1 | with philosophy; and to have been a hearer, first of~
5 1 | Tandasis and Marcianus; and to have written~dialogues in my
6 1 | dialogues in my youth; and to have desired a plank bed and
7 1 | with respect to those who have~offended me by words, or
8 1 | reconciled, as soon as they have shown a readiness to~be

10 1 | expression which ought to have been used, and in~the way
11 1 | write in a letter, that I have no leisure; nor~continually
12 1 | opportunity had offered, might have~led me to do something of
13 1 | affection;~that my children have not been stupid nor deformed
14 1 | in which I should perhaps have been completely engaged,
15 1 | anything from another; that I have such a wife,~so obedient,
16 1 | children; and that remedies have been~shown to me by dreams,
17 2 | good and evil. But I who have seen the nature of the good
18 2 | but thou wilt~no longer have the opportunity of honouring
19 2 | those too are triflers who have wearied~themselves in life
20 2 | their activity, and yet have no object to~which to direct
21 2 | do not~exist, or if they have no concern about human affairs,
22 2 | for human things, and they~have put all the means in man'
23 2 | anything evil, they would~have provided for this also,
24 2 | another, why should a man have any~apprehension about the
25 3 | parts which thus open, and~have a certain fashion contrary
26 3 | so that if a man~should have a feeling and deeper insight
27 3 | a shorter~time he shall have the soul inclosed in the
28 3 | ago.~ To the aids which have been mentioned let this

30 3 | prevent this.~ As physicians have always their instruments
31 3 | their skill, so do thou have principles~ready for the
32 3 | wild~beasts and to men who have made themselves into women,
33 3 | Phalaris and a Nero: and to have the intelligence that guides
34 3 | their impure~deeds when they have shut the doors. If then
35 3 | is common~to all that I have mentioned, there remains
36 4 | which a small light would have been extinguished: but when
37 4 | suspicion, hatred, and fighting, have~been stretched dead, reduced
38 4 | necessity; and if a man will not have it so, he will~not allow
39 4 | not allow the fig-tree to have juice. But by all means
40 4 | taken away the complaint,~"I have been harmed." Take away
41 4 | Take away the complaint, "I have been harmed,"~and the harm
42 4 | in every action.~ Do not have such an opinion of things
43 4 | such as he wishes thee to have, but look at them as they

54 4 | and observe how all things have reference to~one perception,
55 4 | aptly fitted~to those which have gone before; for this series
56 4 | simply to act~and speak as we have been taught.~ If any god

72 5 | of envelopment that they have seemed to~philosophers,
73 5 | question, and inquire, what have I now in this~part of me
74 5 | principle? And whose soul have I~now? That of a child,
75 5 | superior? But the things which have life are~superior to those
76 5 | superior to those which have not life, and of those which

78 5 | superior are those which have reason.~ To seek what is

81 5 | affects and disposition, which have the power of~acting conditionally

83 5 | universal nature~wills me to have; and I do what my nature

85 5 | fitness; and~if they should have sustained loss in matters

87 6 | compulsion lasts; for thou wilt have more mastery over~the harmony
88 6 | tolerable in the court.~ When we have meat before us and such

117 7 | other thing. For~things have been co-ordinated, and they
118 7 | exist separate, for they have~been constituted for one

132 8 | to~come down, or even to have fallen? And what good is
133 8 | dead long ago. Some indeed have not been remembered~even
134 8 | a short time, and others have become the heroes of fables,~
135 8 | fables,~and again others have disappeared even from fables.

164 9 | gods have no power or they have power. If, then, they~have
