  1 1 |      Apollonius I learned freedom of will and undeviating steadiness~
  2 2 |             clouds from thy mind, it will go and~thou wilt go, and
  3 2 |             and~thou wilt go, and it will never return.~ Every moment
  4 2 |           for the gods on their~part will require nothing more from
  5 2 |              afraid of, for~the gods will not involve thee in evil;
  6 2 |            the imagination~in it, he will then consider it to be nothing
  7 2 |             longest liver and he who will die soonest lose just the
  8 3 |            whether the understanding will still continue sufficient
  9 3 |           else there is of the kind,~will not fail; but the power
 10 3 |             way of consequence which will not seem to him to be in
 11 3 |             give pleasure. And so he will see even the~real gaping
 12 3 |              woman and an~old man he will be able to see a certain
 13 3 |       loveliness of young persons he will be able to look~on with
 14 3 |           eyes; and many such things will present themselves, not~
 15 3 |         tragic part, does not groan, will not need either solitude
 16 3 |             what is chief of all, he will live without either~pursuing
 17 3 |          must depart immediately, he will go as readily as if he~were
 18 3 |            of poor human beings, who will very soon die, and who~know
 19 3 |        compounded, and into which it will be resolved. For~nothing
 20 4 |            thou shalt~recur to them, will be sufficient to cleanse
 21 4 |             perhaps~corporeal things will still fasten upon thee.-
 22 4 |             of the thing called fame will torment thee.- See how soon~
 23 4 |          kind of people are they who will praise thee.~ This then
 24 4 |               change immediately~and will no longer be; and constantly
 25 4 |           common political community will any one say that the~whole
 26 4 |              necessity; and if a man will not have it so, he will~
 27 4 |              will not have it so, he will~not allow the fig-tree to
 28 4 |          short time both thou and he will be dead; and~soon not even
 29 4 |             soon not even your names will be left behind.~ Take away
 30 4 |            of those who remember him will himself also die very~soon;
 31 4 |           But suppose that those~who will remember are even immortal,
 32 4 |             and that the remembrance will~be immortal, what then is
 33 4 |              man takes this away, he will have~more leisure and less
 34 4 |            for thus superfluous acts will not follow after.~ Try how
 35 4 |        manner the seed~of that which will be. But thou art thinking
 36 4 |         comes in its place, and this will be carried away~too.~ Everything
 37 4 |             a little mucus to-morrow will be a mummy or~ashes. Pass
 38 4 |            it is not contrary to the will of~man's nature? Well, thou
 39 4 |               Well, thou knowest the will of nature. Will then this~
 40 4 |          knowest the will of nature. Will then this~which has happened
 41 4 |              opinions and~falsehood; will it prevent thee from having
 42 5 |              love thy nature~and her will. But those who love their
 43 5 |          only: the one, that nothing will happen to me which~is not
 44 5 |              for~there is no man who will compel me to this.~ About
 45 5 |              the many to be good, he will listen and readily receive
 46 5 |        material; and neither of them~will perish into non-existence,
 47 5 | non-existence. Every part of me then will be reduced by~change into
 48 5 |             universe, and that again will change into~another part
 49 5 |         habitual thoughts, such also will be the character~of thy
 50 5 |         mouth smells foul? What good will this danger do thee? He
 51 5 |           but the man has reason, it will~be said, and he is able,
 52 6 |         things soon change, and they will either be reduced~to vapour,
 53 6 |            substance is one, or they will be dispersed.~ The reason
 54 6 |            dispersion of my elements will happen whatever I~do. But
 55 6 |              and honour thy own mind will make thee~content with thyself,
 56 6 |              strangely men act. They will not praise those who are
 57 6 |              have never seen or ever~will see, this they set much
 58 6 |            not think or~act right, I will gladly change; for I seek
 59 6 |        eternity and everything which will be for~time without end;
 60 6 |             and act~according to its will, everything in thee is in
 61 6 |              he who rules~all things will certainly make a right use
 62 6 |            right use of thee, and he will~receive thee among some
 63 6 |           But act even against their~will, when the principles of
 64 6 |         bitten by a mad dog?~ No man will hinder thee from living
 65 6 |              thy~own nature: nothing will happen to thee contrary
 66 6 |          what kind of acts? How soon will time cover all~things, and
 67 7 |           And the perception of this will~be more apparent to thee,
 68 7 |           there fall externally what will on the parts which can feel~
 69 7 |          those parts which have felt will~complain, if they choose.
 70 7 |               For the faculty itself will not by its~own opinion turn
 71 7 |          opinion about these things, will~suffer nothing, for it will
 72 7 |          will~suffer nothing, for it will never deviate into such
 73 7 |            and that soon both of you will die; and above all, that
 74 7 |              which governs the whole will soon change all things which~
 75 7 |           and out of their substance will make other things, and~again
 76 7 |            he said.-~Such a man then will think that death also is
 77 7 |        foresee also the things which will be. For they will~certainly
 78 7 |              which will be. For they will~certainly be of like form,
 79 7 |              use them well, and they~will be a material for thee to
 80 7 |             fountain of good, and it will ever bubble~up, if thou
 81 7 |             If this is remembered it will make thee more tranquil
 82 8 |           slaves?~ Consider that men will do the same things nevertheless,
 83 8 |           such and such opinions, it will~seem nothing wonderful or
 84 8 |            thou~wonder? Even the sun will say, I am for some purpose,
 85 8 |             and the rest~of the gods will say the same. For what purpose
 86 8 |               But~something external will stand in the way.- Nothing
 87 8 |           stand in the way.- Nothing will stand in the~way of thy
 88 8 |              some other active power will be hindered.- Well, but
 89 8 |              hindered, and one which~will adapt itself to this ordering
 90 8 |              affect thee? The senses will look to that.- Has any obstacle
 91 8 |           that the men of after time~will be exactly such as these
 92 8 |            mere obstinacy.~What then will it be when it forms a judgement
 93 8 |            clay into it or filth, it will~speedily disperse them and
 94 8 |          them and wash them out, and will not be at all~polluted.
 95 8 |              choose.~ To my own free will the free will of my neighbour
 96 8 |            my own free will the free will of my neighbour is just
 97 8 |              receives~it. For a body will deprive itself of the illumination,
 98 9 |              he who transgresses her will, is clearly guilty of impiety~
 99 9 |             he who is afraid of pain will sometimes also~be afraid
100 9 |             some of the things which will happen in the world, and~
101 9 |              he who pursues pleasure will not abstain~from injustice,
102 9 |             those with whom thy soul will no longer be mingled. For
103 9 |          remember that thy~departure will be not from men who have
104 9 |             observest. Sooner, then, will one find~anything earthy
105 9 |              admired: but direct thy will to one thing only, to put~
106 9 |             be governed by it.~ Soon will the earth cover us all:
107 9 |            all: then the earth, too, will~change, and the things also
108 9 |             which result from change will continue~to change for ever,
109 9 |          wave and their rapidity, he will despise everything which
110 9 |         about thee to see if any one will observe it; nor yet~expect
111 9 |            and the life of those who will live after thee, and the~
112 9 |          even thy~name, and how many will soon forget it, and how
113 9 |        perhaps now~are praising thee will very soon blame thee, and
114 9 |   dissolution.~  All that thou seest will quickly perish, and those
115 9 |        spectators of its dissolution will very soon perish too. And
116 9 |             at the extremest old age will be brought into the same~
117 9 |          been done in like form, and will be~such to time without
118 9 |           been and all things always will be bad, and that no power
119 10|     everything is well for thee, and~will be well whatever shall please
120 10|              do not complain, for it will~perish after it has consumed
121 10|           following day, though they will be exposed in the same state
122 10|       remembrance of these names, it will greatly help thee, if thou~
123 10|       astonishment, torpor, slavery, will daily wipe out~those holy
124 10|        wakest from sleep, whether it~will make any difference to thee,
125 10|           what is just and~right. It will make no difference.~ Thou
126 10|             in what a~condition they will be.~ That is for the good
127 10|           away, and this was thy own will; or thou art dying~and hast
128 10|               and consider that they will be the same again. And~place
129 10|           that~what has once changed will never exist again in the
130 10|       facility with~which the reason will be carried through all things,
131 10|            to thy~grave another soon will lament.~ The healthy eye
132 10|             was a good and wise man, will there not be at last some
133 11|              those who come after us will see nothing new, nor~have
134 11|         which have been and~all that will be. This too is a property
135 11|           according to right reason, will not be able to turn thee
136 11|              foundation: for justice will not be observed, if we~either
137 11|            them be at rest, and they will remain quiet, and~thou wilt
138 11|          look to that himself.~But I will look to this, that I be
139 11|            Let him look to~it. But I will be mild and benevolent towards
140 11|              to give this notice. It will soon show itself by acts.
141 11|              are indifferent. And it will be~indifferent, if it looks
142 11|             also that such attention will only be for a~short time,
143 11|            short time, and then life will be at an end. Besides, what
144 11|            rejoice in them, and they will be easy to thee: but if~
145 11|              what kind of a thing it will be when it~has changed,
146 11|             has changed, and that it will sustain no harm.~ If any
147 11|              acting a part. For what will~the most violent man do
148 11|              efforts to this object, will make all his acts alike,~
149 11|             his acts alike,~and thus will always be the same.~ Think
150 11|             within.~ And virtue they will curse, speaking harsh words.~
151 11|           man can rob us of our free will.~ Epictetus also said, A
152 12|           thee;~for the passive part will look to this. If then, whatever
153 12|           which envelops him, surely will~not trouble himself by looking
154 12|              thee independent of thy will,~and whatever the external
155 12|              nothing except what God will approve, and~to accept all
156 12|             intelligence at least it~will not carry away.~ Does the
157 12|              nobody and nowhere, nor~will any of the things exist
158 12|              both independent of the~will and not opposed to the general
159 12|               always happened so and will happen so, and now happens
