Book
1 1 | and from him I learned how to receive from~friends
2 1 | Lanuvium generally. We know how he behaved to the~toll-collector
3 2 | thankful to the gods.~ Remember how long thou hast been putting
4 2 | putting off these things, and how~often thou hast received
5 2 | given to thee. Thou seest how few the things are, the~
6 2 | and what is my nature, and how this is related to that,
7 2 | does not make a man worse,~how can it make a man's life
8 2 | neither~good nor evil.~ How quickly all things disappear,
9 2 | abroad by vapoury~fame; how worthless, and contemptible,
10 2 | of nature. To observe~too how man comes near to the deity,
11 2 | for~what a man has not, how can any one take this from
12 3 | what it is composed, and how long it is the nature of
13 3 | thy power.~ They know not how many things are signified
14 4 | involuntarily; and consider how many~already, after mutual
15 4 | will torment thee.- See how soon~everything is forgotten,
16 4 | whole earth is a point,~and how small a nook in it is this
17 4 | is this thy dwelling, and how few are there~in it, and
18 4 | constantly bear in mind how many of these~changes thou
19 4 | in thy power, be good.~ How much trouble he avoids who
20 4 | souls continue to exist, how does the air contain them
21 4 | them from~eternity?- But how does the earth contain the
22 4 | will not follow after.~ Try how the life of the good man
23 4 | of whole nations, and see how many after~great efforts
24 4 | and one soul; and observe how all things have reference
25 4 | this one living being; and how all~things act with one
26 4 | act with one movement; and how all things are the cooperating~
27 4 | degree mean-spirited- for how small is the difference?-
28 4 | to-morrow.~ Think continually how many physicians are dead
29 4 | eyebrows over the sick; and how many astrologers~after predicting
30 4 | the deaths of others; and~how many philosophers after
31 4 | on death or~immortality; how many heroes after killing
32 4 | after killing thousands; and how many~tyrants who have used
33 4 | they were immortal; and how many cities are entirely~
34 4 | conclude,~always observe how ephemeral and worthless
35 4 | death; and consider with how~much trouble, and in company
36 5 | less worthy of~thy labour?~ How easy it is to repel and
37 5 | magnanimity. Dost thou not see how many qualities thou~art
38 5 | themselves,~and consider how short-lived they are and
39 5 | which all things disappear. How then is he~not a fool who
40 5 | is fixed by~destiny, and how small a part of it thou
41 5 | one another. Thou seest how it has~subordinated, co-ordinated
42 5 | things which are the best.~ How hast thou behaved hitherto
43 5 | call to recollection both how many things thou hast passed~
44 5 | hast passed~through, and how many things thou hast been
45 5 | thy service is ended:~and how many beautiful things thou
46 5 | things thou hast seen: and how many pleasures~and pains
47 5 | thou hast despised; and how many things called honourable~
48 5 | thou hast spurned; and to how many ill-minded folks thou
49 5 | but I lost it, I know not how.- But~fortunate means that
50 6 | about~anything else than how I shall at last become earth?
51 6 | goes happily on its road.~ How strangely men act. They
52 6 | among the~atoms.~ Consider how many things in the same
53 6 | propose to thee the question, how the name~Antoninus is written,
54 6 | which is set before thee.~ How cruel it is not to allow
55 6 | to~understand things; and how he would never let anything
56 6 | clearly understood it; and~how he bore with those who blamed
57 6 | blaming them in~return; how he did nothing in a hurry;
58 6 | nothing in a hurry; and how he listened not to~calumnies,
59 6 | listened not to~calumnies, and how exact an examiner of manners
60 6 | nor a~sophist; and with how little he was satisfied,
61 6 | dress, food, servants; and how laborious and patient; and
62 6 | laborious and patient; and how he was~able on account of
63 6 | in his friendships; and~how he tolerated freedom of
64 6 | him~anything better; and how religious he was without
65 6 | neither is it an evil to him.~ How many pleasures have been
66 6 | tyrants.~ Dost thou not see how the handicraftsmen accommodate
67 6 | Fruit-bearer (the earth)? And how is it with respect~to each
68 6 | same and from the same. How long then?~ Think continually
69 6 | listen to anybody else; or how could the helmsman secure
70 6 | those whom he attends?~ How many together with whom
71 6 | and by what kind of acts? How soon will time cover all~
72 6 | time cover all~things, and how many it has covered already.~
73 7 | familiar and~short-lived.~ How can our principles become
74 7 | well suited to society.~ How many after being celebrated
75 7 | given up to~oblivion; and how many who have celebrated
76 7 | in the assault on a town. How then, if being lame~thou
77 7 | our body with one another.~How many a Chrysippus, how many
78 7 | How many a Chrysippus, how many a Socrates, how many
79 7 | Chrysippus, how many a Socrates, how many an Epictetus~has time
80 7 | the best, and then reflect how~eagerly they would have
81 7 | the next inquiry being how he may best live the~time
82 7 | same things happened, and how they were vexed, and treated
83 7 | they feel towards men.~ How do we know if Telauges was
84 8 | throw away the thought, How thou shalt seem to others,~
85 8 | what man's nature requires. How then shall a man do this?
86 8 | of every act ask thyself, How is this with respect~to
87 8 | same. But as to the others, how many~things had they to
88 8 | they to care for, and to how many things were they slaves?~
89 8 | doing in the world? And how long does it subsist?~ When
90 8 | not be at all~polluted. How then shalt thou possess
91 9 | ourselves. But now thou~seest how great is the trouble arising
92 9 | everything along with it. But how worthless are all these
93 9 | among barbarous nations, and how many know not even thy~name,
94 9 | know not even thy~name, and how many will soon forget it,
95 9 | will soon forget it, and how they who perhaps now~are
96 9 | of every several thing, how short is the~time from birth
97 9 | see. One man prays thus: How shall I be able~to lie with
98 9 | woman? Do thou pray thus: How shall I not desire to~lie
99 9 | her? Another prays thus: How shall I be released from
100 9 | from this?~Another prays: How shall I not desire to be
101 9 | released? Another thus:~How shall I not lose my little
102 9 | my little son? Thou thus: How shall I not be~afraid to
103 9 | keeping to this main point, how the mind, while~participating
104 10| holy principles of thine. How many things without studying~
105 10| nature dost thou imagine, and how many dost thou neglect?
106 10| has in the universe, and how long~it is formed to exist
107 10| contemplative way of seeing how all things change into~one
108 10| that he~must, no one knows how soon, go away from among
109 10| and what they pursue, and how they steal and how~they
110 10| and how they steal and how~they rob, not with hands
111 10| But a short time ago to how many they were slaves~and
112 10| strength and other things; how many and how strange I~Observe
113 10| other things; how many and how strange I~Observe then the
114 10| plainly.~ Constantly consider how all things such as they
115 10| man. But in our own case how many other things are there
116 11| thy art? To be good. And how is this accomplished well~
117 11| what end does it look!~ How plain does it appear that
118 11| crouch before one another.~ How unsound and insincere is
119 11| and thy anger is gone. How then shall I take~away these
120 11| else.~ Eighth, consider how much more pain is brought
121 12| I have often wondered how it is that every man loves
122 12| shall think of ourselves.~ How can it be that the gods
123 12| cause of his~uneasiness; how no man is hindered by another;
124 12| we should blame nobody.~ How ridiculous and what a stranger
125 12| having done wrong, say,~How then do I know if this is
126 12| even if he has~done wrong, how do I know that he has not
127 12| observe the variety of them how great it is,~and at the
128 12| shouldst see at a glance how great is the~number of beings
129 12| everywhere; forgotten this too, how close is the kinship between
130 12| everything of this~sort, how Fabius Catullinus lived
131 12| conjoined with pride; and how worthless everything~is
132 12| men violently strain; and how much more philosophical~
