3 1 | the same, in sharp pains, on the~occasion of the loss
4 1 | disguise his vexation, nor, on the other hand, was he ever~
5 1 | affection; and to be satisfied on all occasions,~and cheerful;
6 1 | came from Lorium, his villa on the~coast, and from Lanuvium
7 1 | that, so far as depended on the gods, and their~gifts,
8 1 | any~man in his need, or on any other occasion, I was
9 1 | I did not waste my~time on writers of histories, or
10 2 | them, for no one~can fix on me what is ugly, nor can

12 2 | committed~with pain; and on the whole the one is more
13 2 | and, as it were, a tumour on the universe, so far~as
14 3 | he will be able to look~on with chaste eyes; and many
15 3 | after so many speculations on the~conflagration of the
16 3 | nature; and a man should hold on to the~opinion not of all,
17 3 | which produces opinion. On this faculty it~entirely
18 3 | now makes an impression on me, and what virtue I~have
19 3 | and the rest. Wherefore, on every~occasion a man should
20 4 | the matter which is heaped on~it, and consumes it, and
21 4 | the chaos of infinite time on~each side of the present,
22 4 | Many grains of frankincense on the same altar: one falls
23 4 | answer which a man might give on the hypothesis of souls
24 4 | bodies of those who feed on them! And~nevertheless this
25 4 | respect to~justice, and on the occasion of every impression
26 4 | uneasiness. Accordingly on every occasion a~man should

28 4 | for~life. He is an abscess on the universe who withdraws
29 4 | to-morrow, or certainly~on the day after to-morrow,
30 4 | care much whether it was~on the third day or on the
31 4 | was~on the third day or on the morrow, unless thou
32 4 | after endless discourses on death or~immortality; how
33 4 | it, and thanking the~tree on which it grew.~ Be like
34 4 | continued free from pain on such an occasion. Why~then
35 4 | is its own? Remember too on every occasion which leads
36 5 | regard, but go straight on, following thy own~nature
37 5 | which bears me when I tread on it and abuse it~for so many
38 5 | come and see, but he goes~on to another act, as a vine
39 5 | another act, as a vine goes on to produce again the grapes
40 5 | rain, O dear Zeus, down on the~ploughed fields of the
41 5 | fields of the Athenians and on the plains.- In truth we~
42 5 | he would not have brought on any man what he has brought,
43 5 | all things which~depend on the faculty of understanding
44 5 | pursuit, I cannot imagine. But on the~contrary it is a man'
45 5 | now employing my own soul? On every occasion I~must ask
46 5 | said fitly and wittily. Go on then and ask if we~should
47 5 | of the universe, and so on for ever. And by consequence~
48 5 | those who begot me, and so on for~ever in the other direction.
49 5 | that which is an~obstacle on the road helps us on this
50 5 | obstacle on the road helps us on this road.~ Reverence that
51 5 | When thou art calling out on the Rostra, hast thou forgotten,
52 6 | is, and what~it does, and on what material it works.~
53 6 | this flowing stream then, on which there~is no abiding,
54 6 | the things which hurry by on which a~man would set a
55 6 | observed it goes happily on its road.~ How strangely
56 6 | this they set much value on. But this is very much the~
57 6 | treacherous fellow; and yet we are on~our guard against him, not
58 6 | in a social spirit. And on all~occasions call on the
59 6 | And on all~occasions call on the gods, and do not perplex
60 6 | angry too?~Wilt thou not go on with composure and number
61 6 | are angry with thee to go~on thy way and finish that
62 6 | patient; and how he was~able on account of his sparing diet
63 7 | thou hast often seen. And on the~occasion of everything
64 7 | business of show, plays on the stage, flocks of sheep,~
65 7 | a soldier in the assault on a town. How then, if being
66 7 | thou canst not mount up on the battlements alone, but
67 7 | fall externally what will on the parts which can feel~
68 7 | the heaps of sand piled on~one another hide the former
69 7 | these things go straight on, and it~has what is its
70 7 | material for thee to work on. Only attend to thyself,
71 7 | gods, neither idly vexed on account of men's villainy,
72 7 | usual and apt matter to work on.~ The perfection of moral
73 8 | what has been mentioned.~ On the occasion of every act
74 8 | fixed thy eyes steadily on thy business look at it,
75 8 | with itself when it goes on its way~well; and a rational
76 8 | and a rational nature goes on its way well, when in its
77 8 | and, if it be possible, on the occasion of every~impression
78 8 | occasion of every~impression on the soul, apply to it the
79 8 | that which is inscribed on the tombs- The last of~his
80 8 | expect to befall thee: but on every occasion ask thyself,~
81 8 | not being done~depends not on thee.- But it is not worth
82 8 | unhappiness may not depend on another.~ The sun appears
83 9 | present opinion founded on understanding, and thy present~
84 9 | Fire indeed moves upwards on account~of the elemental
85 9 | attainment of those things on which~they set a value.~
86 9 | ever. For if a man reflects on~the changes and transformations
87 9 | the smallest thing goes~on well, and consider such
88 9 | pride.~ Look down from above on the countless herds of men
89 9 | nor, says he, did I talk on such subjects to~those who
90 9 | I continued to discourse on the nature of~things as
91 9 | in such movements as go on in the poor flesh, shall
92 9 | an opportunity of putting on solemn looks,~as if they
93 9 | great, but my life went on well and~happily. Do, then,
94 9 | philosophy; but to be intent only on~that which thou art now
95 9 | which thou art now doing and on the instrument by which
96 10| respect to which it~depends on thy own opinion to make
97 10| done so, life must flow on~happily, just as thou mayest
98 10| another person and~wilt enter on another life. For to continue
99 10| it is~thy duty so to look on and so to do everything,
100 10| other things oppose thee, go on~according to thy powers
101 10| bestowing their praise or blame on others, are such as they~
102 10| to thee of life. Live as on a~mountain. For it makes

104 10| on top of~a mountain, or on the sea-shore, or wherever
105 10| as in a shepherd's fold on a mountain.~ What is my
106 10| cause takes it, and labours on it and makes a child. What
107 10| this pig also is he who on his bed in silence laments
108 10| follow is a~necessity imposed on all.~ Severally on the occasion
109 10| imposed on all.~ Severally on the occasion of everything
110 10| and when~thou hast looked on thyself, think of any other
111 10| some the wind scatters on the ground-~ So is the race
112 10| bestow their praise, or on~the contrary curse, or secretly
113 10| benevolent~and mild, and on the other hand not as if
114 10| thyself as much as possible on the occasion of anything~
115 11| Thou wilt set little value on pleasing song and dancing
116 11| first tragedies were brought on the stage as means of reminding~
117 11| delighted with~what is shown on the stage, you should not
118 11| with that which~takes place on the larger stage. For you
119 11| feelings towards them, but be on thy guard equally in~both
120 11| ought to be plainly written on the forehead. Such as a
121 11| indifferent, if it looks on each of these things separately
122 11| pass a correct judgement on another man's acts.~ Sixth,
123 11| of another~brings shame on thee: for unless that which
124 11| much more pain is brought on us by the anger~and vexation
125 11| thou shouldst be constantly on thy guard, and when thou
126 11| shouldst wipe them out and say on each occasion~thus: this
127 11| yet no force is imposed on it,~but only those things
128 12| unexpected, and to be dependent on this or that.~ God sees
129 12| but yet sets less value on his own opinion~of himself
130 12| opinion~of himself than on the opinion of others. If
