  8 1 |         them~not, he did not want them. No one could ever say of
  9 1 |          yet was he easily~led by them. He was also easy in conversation,
 10 1 |        anything else; and he gave them his help, that~each might
 11 1 |        any offence against any of them, though~I had a disposition
 12 1 |          I was making progress in them; that I made haste to~place

 15 2 |      neither be injured by any of them, for no one~can fix on me
 16 2 |           be enough for thee, let them always be fixed opinions.
 17 2 |           universe has~overlooked them; nor is it possible that
 18 2 |           time the remembrance of them; what is the nature of~all
 19 3 |          and the understanding of them cease first.~ We ought to
 20 3 |           if a man should examine them severally- still,~because
 21 3 |          by~nature, help to adorn them, and they please the mind;
 22 3 |        many, and then fate caught them~too. Alexander, and Pompeius,
 23 3 |         neither angry with any of them,~nor does he deviate from
 24 4 |     thoughts that by looking into them he is~immediately in perfect
 25 4 |       soon as thou shalt~recur to them, will be sufficient to cleanse
 26 4 |         thee to have, but look at them as they are in~truth.~ A

 28 4 |          how does the air contain them from~eternity?- But how
 29 4 |       bodies of those who feed on them! And~nevertheless this earth
 30 4 |  nevertheless this earth receives them by reason of the changes
 31 4 |     complete oblivion soon buries them. And I say this of those
 32 4 |        gone, and no man speaks of them. And, to~conclude the matter,
 33 4 |           to make new~things like them. For everything that exists
 34 4 |           delights fools or vexes~them.~ In the series of things
 35 4 |           daily meet with seem to~them strange: and consider that
 36 4 |     Lepidus, or any one else like them, who have carried out~many
 37 5 |          themselves~in working at them unwashed and without food;
 38 5 |          say, I~am not formed for them by nature. Show those qualities
 39 5 |           suitable,~when they fit them to one another in some kind
 40 5 |       disagreeable, but we accept them in the hope of health. Let
 41 5 |        even the most agreeable of them, to say nothing of~a man
 42 5 |          applied- that he who has them, through pure abundance
 43 5 |          material; and neither of them~will perish into non-existence,
 44 5 |      non-existence, as neither of them came into existence~out
 45 5 |          end which is proposed to them; and this is the reason
 46 5 |         does man's~nature promise them, nor are they the means
 47 5 |        right for a man~to despise them and to set himself against
 48 5 |        and to set himself against them; nor would a man be~worthy
 49 5 |         stinted himself in any of them be good, if indeed these~
 50 5 |           or of other things like them, or even when he is~deprived
 51 5 |          he is~deprived of any of them, the more patiently he endures
 52 5 |         do~good to men and endure them. But so far as some men

 54 5 |         and let it~not unite with them, but let it circumscribe
 55 5 |           who constantly~shows to them, his own soul is satisfied

 57 6 |          themselves and penetrate them, and so we see what~kind
 58 6 |      approbation, we ought to lay them bare and look at their~worthlessness
 59 6 |           worthlessness and strip them of all the words by which
 60 6 |       they have none,~make use of them with a generous and liberal
 61 6 |        the things which~appear to them to be suitable to their
 62 6 |        manner thou dost not allow them to do this, when thou art~
 63 6 |       things because they suppose them to be suitable to their
 64 6 |          nature and~profitable to them.- But it is not so.- Teach
 65 6 |          But it is not so.- Teach them then, and show~them without
 66 6 |         Teach them then, and show~them without being angry.~ Death
 67 6 |          unjustly without blaming them in~return; how he did nothing
 68 6 |        received thy portion, love them, but do~it truly, sincerely.~
 69 6 |        within and there~abides in them the power which made them;

 73 6 |   sacrifice nor pray nor~swear by them nor do anything else which
 74 6 |        and so many~generals after them, and tyrants; besides these,
 75 6 |         What harm then is this to them; and what to those whose

 83 7 |     through being so~pleased with them accustom thyself to overvalue
 84 7 |     accustom thyself to overvalue them, so as to be~disturbed if

 90 7 |    earthly things as if he viewed them from some~higher place;

 96 7 |        nature, to~those who cause them and those who are moved
 97 7 |        and those who are moved by them? And why art thou~not altogether

100 7 |            they also take care of them in all~ways. But thou, who
101 7 |          too when thou art one of them?~ It is a ridiculous thing
102 8 |      which are in this, to change them, to take them~away hence,
103 8 |           to change them, to take them~away hence, and to carry
104 8 |          away hence, and to carry them there. All things are change,
105 8 |           but the~distribution of them still remains the same.~

115 8 |      Teach them then or bear~with them.~ In one way an arrow moves,
116 9 |          universal nature~employs them equally, instead of saying
117 9 |           to those who come~after them by virtue of a certain original
118 9 |           is thy duty to care~for them and to bear with them gently;

123 9 |           and inclination, and~in them alone the property of flowing
124 9 |          nature is too strong for them; and thou wilt see~what

128 9 |     friends. And the gods too aid them in all ways,~by dreams,
129 9 |           condemned me to imitate~them. Simple and modest is the
130 9 |      power, why dost thou pray to them? But if they have power,
131 9 |        why~dost thou not pray for them to give thee the faculty
132 9 |         say, the gods have placed them~in thy power. Well, then,

135 10|            nor to be condemned by them?~ Observe what thy nature
136 10|       common interest, and divert them~from the contrary. Now,

140 10|         thou art able to abide in them, abide as if thou~wast removed
141 10|          that thou fallest out of them and dost not maintain thy

144 10|       they cannot endure him, let them kill him. For~that is better
145 10|        for the things which check them and stand in the~way are
146 10|           everything that opposes them, and in such manner as they
147 10|         harm may happen to any of them, that which is~so affected

158 11|         in a manner thou goest to them. Let then thy~judgement

161 11|      produce the judgements about~them, and, as we may say, write
162 11|         and, as we may say, write them in ourselves, it being in
163 11|         in our~power not to write them, and it being in our power,
164 11|   admission to our minds, to wipe them~out; and if we remember
165 11|   according to~nature, rejoice in them, and they will be easy to

168 11|         as if thou hadst received them as a~gift from the Muses,
169 11| flattering men and being veied~at them, for both are unsocial and
170 11|          to others, and to expect them not to~do thee any wrong,
171 11|           when thou hast~detected them, thou shouldst wipe them
172 11|          them, thou shouldst wipe them out and say on each occasion~
173 11|          then do you not seek for them?- Because we have~them.-
174 11|        for them?- Because we have~them.- Why then do you fight
175 12|           if thou dost not refuse them to thyself.~And this means,
176 12|          thy duty to take care of them; but the third~alone is
177 12|           in themselves, dividing them into matter, form~and purpose.~
178 12|        and observe the variety of them how great it is,~and at
