Book
1 1 | is the mark of a man who has a perfect and~invincible
2 1 | instructions; that my~body has held out so long in such
3 2 | discontent with the portion~which has been given to thee. Thou
4 2 | the mind of another a man has~seldom been seen to be unhappy;
5 2 | is more like a person who has been~first wronged and through
6 2 | the nature of the universe has~overlooked them; nor is
7 2 | nor is it possible that it has made so great a~mistake,
8 2 | the future: for~what a man has not, how can any one take
9 2 | the only thing which he has, and that a man~cannot lose
10 2 | cannot lose a thing if he has it not.~ Remember that all
11 3 | man, but to him only who has become truly familiar~with
12 3 | sensual enjoyments at~all, nor has any rivalry or envy and
13 3 | Roman, and a ruler, who has~taken his post like a man
14 3 | is planted in thee, which has subjected to itself~all
15 3 | and, as~Socrates said, has detached itself from the
16 3 | persuasions of sense,~and has submitted itself to the
17 3 | and curtains: for he who has preferred to everything~
18 3 | of the things of which~it has been compounded, and into
19 3 | and what value everything has with reference to the~whole,
20 4 | soul, particularly when he~has within him such thoughts
21 4 | the arguments by which it has been proved that the world~
22 4 | gently or~violently, when it has once drawn itself apart
23 4 | which is universally useful has been compelled to~do this.~
24 4 | opinion of things as he has who does thee wrong,~or
25 4 | deviating from it.~ He who has a vehement desire for posthumous
26 4 | except indeed~so far as it has a certain utility? For thou
27 4 | which is really~beautiful has no need of anything; not
28 4 | that he does the wrong. Has anything happened to thee?~
29 4 | everything which~happens has been apportioned and spun
30 4 | understanding; he is poor, who has need of~another, and has
31 4 | has need of~another, and has not from himself all things
32 4 | nature~produces this, and has produced thee too: he is
33 4 | rest of life like one who has~intrusted to the gods with
34 4 | his whole soul all that he has, making~thyself neither
35 4 | attention given to everything has its proper value and~proportion.
36 4 | for as soon as a thing has been seen, it is carried~
37 4 | disjointed things, which has only a necessary sequence,~
38 4 | man after burying another has been laid out dead,~and
39 4 | Unhappy am I because this has happened to me.- Not so,
40 4 | happy am~I, though this has happened to me, because
41 4 | nature. Will then this~which has happened prevent thee from
42 5 | necessary: however nature has fixed bounds to this~too:
43 5 | bounds to this~too: she has fixed bounds both to eating
44 5 | dulness.~ One man, when he has done a service to another,
45 5 | debtor,~and he knows what he has done. A third in a manner
46 5 | does not even~know what he has done, but he is like a vine
47 5 | he is like a vine which has produced~grapes, and seeks
48 5 | for nothing more after it has once produced its~proper
49 5 | fruit. As a horse when he has run, a dog when he has tracked~
50 5 | he has run, a dog when he has tracked~the game, a bee
51 5 | the game, a bee when it has made the honey, so a man
52 5 | honey, so a man when he has done~a good act, does not
53 5 | brought on any man what he has brought, if it~were not
54 5 | really good. But if a man has first conceived as good
55 5 | aptly applied- that he who has them, through pure abundance
56 5 | through pure abundance has not a~place to ease himself
57 5 | whatever purpose each thing has been constituted,~for this
58 5 | constituted,~for this it has been constituted, and towards
59 5 | we are made~for society has been shown above. Is it
60 5 | and indivisible~interval has been assigned to thee; and
61 5 | Let him look to it. He has his own~disposition, his
62 5 | this danger do thee? He has~such a mouth, he has such
63 5 | He has~such a mouth, he has such arm-pits: it is necessary
64 5 | such things- but the man has reason, it will~be said,
65 5 | is social. Accordingly it has~made the inferior things
66 5 | of the superior, and it has~fitted the superior to one
67 5 | another. Thou seest how it has~subordinated, co-ordinated
68 5 | its proper~portion, and has brought together into concord
69 5 | be said of thee:~ ~ Never has wronged a man in deed or
70 5 | ignorant souls disturb him who has skill and~knowledge? What
71 5 | knowledge? What soul then has skill and knowledge? That
72 5 | fortunate means that a man has assigned to himself a good
73 6 | reason which governs it has in itself no cause for doing
74 6 | cause for doing evil, for~it has no malice, nor does it do
75 6 | sparrows which fly by, but it has already~passed out of sight.
76 6 | this, that the~thing which has been made should be adapted
77 6 | to the work for which it~has been made; and both the
78 6 | exercises suppose that a man has torn thee with his~nails,
79 6 | dashing against thy head has inflicted a wound. Well,
80 6 | the~source of all.~ He who has seen present things has
81 6 | has seen present things has seen all, both everything
82 6 | all, both everything which~has taken place from all eternity
83 6 | things with which thy lot has been cast: and~the men among
84 6 | it does that for which it has~been made, is well, and
85 6 | amount of substance which has been assigned to~thee, so
86 6 | own sensations; but he who has~understanding, considers
87 6 | think that a false opinion has~less power than the bile
88 6 | things, and how many it has covered already.~
89 7 | unless I think that what has happened~is an evil, am
90 7 | to fear, to pain, which has~completely the power of
91 7 | Socrates, how many an Epictetus~has time already swallowed up?
92 7 | all, that the wrong-doer~has done thee no harm, for he
93 7 | done thee no harm, for he has not made thy ruling faculty
94 7 | moulds a horse, and when it has broken this up, it uses
95 7 | be ever new.~ When a man has done thee any wrong, immediately
96 7 | opinion about good or evil he has done wrong. For when thou
97 7 | rational principle which rules has this~nature, that it is
98 7 | From Plato: The man who has an elevated mind and takes
99 7 | in truth: wherever a man has placed~himself thinking
100 7 | the best place for him, or has been placed by a~commander,
101 7 | best live the~time that he has to live.~ Look round at
102 7 | thou see?~ ~ That which has grown from the earth to
103 7 | the earth,~ But that which has sprung from heavenly seed,~
104 7 | The breeze which heaven has sent~ We must endure, and
105 7 | things go straight on, and it~has what is its own.~ Consider
106 7 | bearest in mind that it~has its limits, and if thou
107 7 | miserable flesh.~ Nature has not so mingled the intelligence
108 7 | this kneaded matter which has grown around thee. For~what
109 7 | everything which happens has a~relationship either to
110 7 | done a good act and another has received it, why dost~thou
111 8 | shall a man do this? If~he has principles from which come
112 8 | do the contrary to what has been mentioned.~ On the
113 8 | nature of the universal has this work to do, to remove
114 8 | is part of a nature which has~not perception or reason,
115 8 | to thyself: What~opinions has this man about good and
116 8 | ignominy, death and life, he has such and such opinions,
117 8 | to be surprised, if a man has a fever, or if~the wind
118 8 | without a purpose.~ That which has died falls not out of the
119 8 | sense allows this.~ Nature has had regard in everything
120 8 | thing it is; and~when it has grown old, what kind of
121 8 | again to unite~thyself. God has allowed this to no other
122 8 | no other part, after it has been~separated and cut asunder,
123 8 | the~kindness by which he has distinguished man, for he
124 8 | distinguished man, for he has put it in his~power not
125 8 | the universal; and when he has~been separated, he has allowed
126 8 | he has~been separated, he has allowed him to return and
127 8 | nature of the universal has given to every rational
128 8 | the other powers that it has, so we have received from
129 8 | senses will look to that.- Has any obstacle opposed~thee
130 8 | touches it in any way. When it has been made a sphere, it continues~
131 8 | passions is a citadel, for man has nothing more secure to which
132 8 | inexpugnable. He then who has~not seen this is an ignorant
133 8 | ignorant man; but he who has seen it and does~not fly
134 8 | report. Suppose that it has been reported to thee that
135 8 | speaks ill of thee. This has been reported; but that
136 8 | hast been injured, that has not been reported. I see
137 8 | and the universal nature has no external space; but the~
138 8 | her art is that though she has circumscribed herself,~everything
139 8 | the world is. But he who has failed in any~one of these
140 8 | only harmful to him who has it in his power to be released
141 8 | ruling power of each~of us has its own office, for otherwise
142 8 | would be my harm, which God has not willed in order that
143 9 | since the universal~nature has made rational animals for
144 9 | out one's life when a man has had enough of these~things
145 9 | to abide with vice, and has not experience yet induced
146 9 | and in such a way as never has been observed in plants
147 9 | produces it. But if usage has especially fixed these~terms
148 9 | activity.~ For the stone which has been thrown up it is no
149 9 | thou mayest know whether he~has acted ignorantly or with
150 9 | Whatever act of~thine then has no reference either immediately
151 9 | like tragedy heroes, no one has condemned me to imitate~
152 9 | be bad, and that no power has~ever been found in so many
153 9 | these things, but the world~has been condemned to be found
154 9 | years or three.~ If any man has done wrong, the harm is
155 9 | his own. But perhaps he has~not done wrong.~ Either
156 9 | not~in thy power? And who has told thee that the gods
157 9 | arises, what virtue nature has given to man to oppose to~
158 9 | every wrongful act. For she has given to man, as an antidote
159 9 | whom thou art irritated~has done anything by which thy
160 9 | evil to thee and harmful has its foundation only in the
161 9 | strange, if the man who has not~been instructed does
162 9 | forgotten and art amazed that~he has erred. But most of all when
163 9 | of~benevolence, when he has done anything benevolent
164 9 | the common interest, he has acted conformably to~his
165 10| it will~perish after it has consumed thee. Remember,
166 10| the nature of the~universe has this principle besides,
167 10| out of~which everything has been compounded, or a change
168 10| inspired. This, then, which has received the accretion,
169 10| with that other part,~which has the peculiar quality of
170 10| substance, and what place it has in the universe, and how
171 10| spider is proud when it has caught a fly, and another
172 10| fly, and another when he~has caught a poor hare, and
173 10| hare, and another when he has taken a little fish in~a
174 10| net, and another when he has taken wild boars, and another
175 10| boars, and another when he~has taken bears, and another
176 10| bears, and another when he has taken Sarmatians. Are not~
177 10| magnanimity. Such a man has put off the body, and as
178 10| dissatisfied because something has been or is~or shall be of
179 10| the same time that~what has once changed will never
180 10| for the reason, when it has viewed carefully and by~
181 10| close thy eyes; and him who has attended thee to thy~grave
182 11| be~stopped, it makes what has been set before it full
183 11| is~forty years old, if he has any understanding at all,
184 11| any understanding at all, has seen by~virtue of the uniformity
185 11| the gods neglect,~ This has its reason too.~ ~And again-~ ~
186 11| separated from~another man has fallen off from the whole
187 11| he does not know that he has at the same time cut himself
188 11| whole social system. Yet he has this privilege certainly
189 11| together with the tree, and has continued to~have one life
190 11| of the tree, but that it has~not the same mind with it.~
191 11| thing it will be when it~has changed, and that it will
192 11| acts of justice.~ He who has not one and always the same
193 12| of the poor flesh which has grown about thee;~for the
194 12| worthy of the universe~which has produced thee, and thou
195 12| intelligence only which has flowed and~been derived
196 12| than the right hand; for it has been practised in this.~
197 12| killed; but the other always has his~hand, and needs to do
198 12| purpose.~ What a power man has to do nothing except what
199 12| before thy death?~ When a man has presented the appearance
200 12| wrongful act? And even if he has~done wrong, how do I know
201 12| wrong, how do I know that he has not condemned himself? and
202 12| For what must a man~do who has such a character? If then
203 12| and like a mariner,~who has doubled the promontory,
204 12| whatever it may be, when it has ceased at its~proper time,
205 12| suffers no evil because it has ceased; nor he who has~done
206 12| it has ceased; nor he who has~done this act, does he suffer
207 12| this reason that the act~has ceased. In like manner then
208 12| for this reason that it has ceased; nor he who has terminated~
209 12| it has ceased; nor he who has terminated~this series at
210 12| series at the proper time, has he been ill dealt with.
