36 6 | Reverence the gods, and help men. Short is life. There is~
37 6 | lot has been cast: and~the men among whom thou hast received
38 6 | blame the gods, and hate men too, those who are the cause
39 6 | knowing what they do; as men also when they~are asleep,

48 6 | of people are those whom men wish to please, and for~
49 7 | thou dost not yet~love men from thy heart; beneficence
50 7 | bad~man.~ For thus it is, men of Athens, in truth: wherever
51 7 | who is discoursing about men~should look also at earthly
52 7 | which is common~to gods and men, there we have nothing to
53 7 | around thee to discover other men's ruling principles,~but
54 7 | inhuman, as they feel towards men.~ How do we know if Telauges
55 7 | with being just towards men and pious towards~the gods,
56 7 | idly vexed on account of men's villainy, nor yet~making
57 7 | substance (reality), though in men's opinion thou mayest~appear
58 7 | must tolerate continually men such as they are and so
59 7 | possible, but to fly from other men's~badness, which is impossible.~
60 8 | ruling~principles of these men were the same. But as to
61 8 | they slaves?~ Consider that men will do the same things
62 8 | And those sharp-witted men, either seers or men inflated
63 8 | sharp-witted men, either seers or men inflated with~pride, where
64 8 | instance the sharp-witted men, Charax and~Demetrius the
65 8 | become old women and~old men and then die? What then
66 8 | the things which happen to men, but looking at and~receiving
67 8 | fame do consider that the men of after time~will be exactly
68 8 | any way to thee if these men of after~time utter this
69 8 | no leisure.~ Suppose that men kill thee, cut thee in pieces,
70 8 | of those who applaud, of men who know not either where
71 8 | wilt~not cease to live.~ Men exist for the sake of one
72 9 | other is a~pestilence of men so far as they are men.~
73 9 | of men so far as they are men.~ Do not despise death,
74 9 | right to be offended with men, but it is thy duty to care~
75 9 | departure will be not from men who have the same principles
76 9 | not seen. But~still though men strive to avoid this union,
77 9 | altogether separated from other men.~ Both man and God and the
78 9 | Penetrate inwards into men's leading principles, and
79 9 | thee or hates thee, or when men say about thee~anything
80 9 | within, and~see what kind of men they are. Thou wilt discover
81 9 | take any trouble that these men may have this or that~opinion
82 9 | matter. For who can~change men's opinions? And without
83 9 | there than the slavery of men who groan while they pretend
84 9 | on the countless herds of men and their~countless solemnities,
85 9 | prematurely.~ What are these men's leading principles, and
86 9 | they can co-operate with men, they can co-operate for~
87 9 | possible, then, that shameless men should not be in~the world?
88 9 | is one of those shameless men who must~of necessity be
89 9 | impossible that such kind of men should~not exist, thou wilt
90 10| pleasant climate, or society of~men with whom thou mayest live
91 10| community with gods and men as neither to find fault~
92 10| soon, go away from among men and leave~everything here,
93 10| political~community). Let men see, let them know a real
94 10| better than to live thus as men do.~ No longer talk at all
95 10| as to die.~ Consider what men are when they are eating,
96 10| forth. Then what kind of men they are when~they are imperious
97 10| mind, Where then are those men? Nowhere, or nobody knows
98 10| ground-~ So is the race of men.~ ~Leaves, also, are thy
99 10| children live, and let all men praise whatever I may~do,
100 10| ought thy departure from men to be, for~nature united
101 11| stage as means of reminding~men of the things which happen
102 11| was useful in~reminding men to beware of insolence;
103 11| may be done in some way?~ Men despise one another and
104 11| flatter one another; and men wish to~raise themselves
105 11| What is my~relation to men, and that we are made for
106 11| Second, consider what kind of men they are at table, in bed,
107 11| they do.~ Third, that if men do rightly what they do,
108 11| his deserts. Accordingly men~are pained when they are
109 11| even understand whether men are~doing wrong or not,
110 11| Seventh, that it is not men's acts which disturb us,
111 11| have their foundation in men's ruling principles, but
112 11| equally avoid flattering men and being veied~at them,
113 11| this- that to expect bad men not to do~wrong is madness,
114 11| impossibility.~But to allow men to behave so to others,
115 11| think of some one of the men of former times who~practised
116 11| want? Souls of rational men or~irrational?- Souls of
117 11| irrational?- Souls of rational men.- Of what rational men?
118 11| rational men.- Of what rational men? Sound or~unsound?- Sound.-
