1 1 | gladiators' fights; from him too I learned~endurance
2 1 | and discipline; and from him I learned not to be led~
3 1 | overmuch; and I am indebted to him for being~acquainted with
4 1 | of his merits; and from him I learned how to receive
5 1 | so that intercourse with him was~more agreeable than
6 1 | those who associated with him: and he had the~faculty
7 1 | reason, but to try to restore him~to his usual disposition;
8 1 | love justice; and through him I learned to know Thrasea,
9 1 | Dion, Brutus; and from him I received the idea of a
10 1 | governed; I learned from him also consistency and undeviating~
11 1 | loved by my friends; and in him I observed no~concealment
12 1 | all obligation to sup with him or to~attend him of necessity
13 1 | sup with him or to~attend him of necessity when he went
14 1 | had~failed to accompany him, by reason of any urgent
15 1 | circumstances, always~found him the same. I observed too
16 1 | No one could ever say of him that he was~either a sophist
17 1 | but~every one acknowledged him to be a man ripe, perfect,
18 1 | behaviour. There was in him nothing harsh, nor implacable,
19 1 | that might be applied to him which is recorded of~Socrates,
20 2 | ugly, and the nature of him who~does wrong, that it
21 2 | with my kinsman, nor~hate him, For we are made for co-operation,
22 2 | require nothing more from him who observes these things.~
23 2 | in man's power to enable him not to fall into~real evils.
24 2 | deity, and by what part of him, and when~this part of man
25 2 | attend to the daemon~within him, and to reverence it sincerely.
26 2 | can any one take this from him? These two~things then thou
27 2 | man, or even moves~towards him with the intention of injuring,
28 3 | consequence which will not seem to him to be in a~manner disposed
29 3 | pleasing to every man, but to him only who has become truly
30 3 | which is planted within him, which makes the man~uncontaminated
31 3 | happens and is assigned~to him as his portion; and not
32 3 | man is carried along~with him and carries him along with
33 3 | along~with him and carries him along with it. And he remembers
34 3 | the signal which summons him~from life, and ready to
35 3 | incomplete when fate overtakes him, as one may say of an actor~
36 3 | play. Besides,~there is in him nothing servile, nor affected,
37 3 | even themselves, much less him who died long ago.~ To the
38 3 | reason I~behave towards him according to the natural
39 3 | thread which is spun for him; and not to defile the divinity
40 4 | particularly when he~has within him such thoughts that by looking
41 4 | worse, nor does it harm him either from without or from~
42 4 | one of those who remember him will himself also die very~
43 4 | suits thee, the life of him who~is satisfied with his
44 4 | which happens equally to him who lives contrary to nature
45 4 | contrary to nature and to him~who lives according to nature,
46 4 | reversely. And think too of him~who forgets whither the
47 4 | dead,~and another buries him: and all this in a short
48 4 | is the difference~between him who lives three days and
49 4 | who lives three days and him who lives three generations?~
50 5 | is fixed in a~manner for him suitably to his destiny.
51 5 | and this was precribed to him. Let us~then receive these
52 5 | thou must not be angry with him who does harm to the state.~
53 5 | harm to the state.~Show him where his error is.~ Often
54 5 | miserable? for they vex him only for a time, and a short~
55 5 | another do me wrong? Let him look to it. He has his own~
56 5 | that which is assigned~to him, and that it does all that
57 5 | reason.~ Art thou angry with him whose armpits stink? Art
58 5 | stink? Art thou angry with him~whose mouth smells foul?
59 5 | his rational faculty; show him~his error, admonish him.
60 5 | him~his error, admonish him. For if he listens, thou
61 5 | listens, thou wilt cure him, and~there is no need of
62 5 | and ignorant souls disturb him who has skill and~knowledge?
63 6 | am firm,~and I trust in him who governs.~ When thou
64 6 | offended, nor do we~suspect him afterwards as a treacherous
65 6 | are on~our guard against him, not however as an enemy,
66 6 | bore with those who blamed him unjustly without blaming
67 6 | had when any man showed him~anything better; and how
68 6 | neither is it an evil to him.~ How many pleasures have
69 6 | reason, which is common to him and the gods?~ Asia, Europe
70 6 | Menippus and such as~are like him. As to all these consider
71 6 | jaundiced or the poison in him who~is bitten by a mad dog?~
72 7 | the~work and give way to him who is able to do it better,
73 7 | frighten~or pain it, let him do so. For the faculty itself
74 7 | seen this, thou wilt pity him, and wilt neither wonder
75 7 | thy duty then to~pardon him. But if thou dost not think
76 7 | readily be well disposed to him who is in error.~ Think
77 7 | suppose it possible for him to~think that human life
78 7 | thinking it the best place for him, or has been placed by a~
79 8 | man, which does not make him just,~temperate, manly,
80 8 | thy opinion and to follow him who corrects~thy error is
81 8 | separated, he has allowed him to return and to be united
82 8 | then dost thou think of him who avoids or seeks the~
83 8 | pervades all things for him~who is willing to draw it
84 8 | is willing to draw it to him than the aerial power for
85 8 | than the aerial power for him who~is able to respire it.~
86 8 | another. It is~only harmful to him who has it in his power
87 9 | the same~condition with him who died prematurely.~ What
88 9 | I not be~afraid to lose him? In fine, turn thy prayers
89 10| man is mistaken, instruct him kindly and show him his
90 10| instruct him kindly and show him his error.~But if thou art
91 10| the state may assign~to him.~ The parts of the whole,
92 10| shall say or think about~him or do against him, he never
93 10| about~him or do against him, he never even thinks of
94 10| what is now assigned to him; and he~lays aside all distracting
95 10| nature. If they cannot endure him, let them kill him. For~
96 10| endure him, let them kill him. For~that is better than
97 10| things which are appointed by him who rules all~things, and
98 10| art able, take~away from him the compulsion.~ When thou
99 10| thou are not good; but let him be a liar~whoever shall
100 10| remember that~nothing harms him who is really a citizen,
101 10| either state or~citizen.~ To him who is penetrated by true
102 10| common precept, to remind him that he~should be free from
103 10| shalt close thy eyes; and him who has attended thee to
104 10| that there shall not be by him when~he is dying some who
105 11| neighbour when he hates him and turns away from~him,
106 11| him and turns away from~him, and he does not know that
107 11| man who is alienated from~him who is by nature a kinsman
108 11| man shall despise me. Let him look to that himself.~But
109 11| Shall any man hate me? Let him look to~it. But I will be
110 11| and ready~to show even him his mistake, not reproachfully,
111 11| as soon as he comes near him must~smell whether he choose
112 11| learn a great~deal to enable him to pass a correct judgement
113 11| kind~disposition towards him, and if, as opportunity
114 11| thou gently~admonishest him and calmly correctest his
115 11| thyself, my child.- And show him with~gentle tact and by
116 11| as if thou wert lecturing him, nor yet~that any bystander
117 11| Perdiccas for not going to him,~saying, It is because I
118 11| friends who were ashamed of him and drew back~from him when
119 11| of him and drew back~from him when they saw him dressed
120 11| back~from him when they saw him dressed thus.~ Neither in
121 12| poor flesh which envelops him, surely will~not trouble
122 12| himself to a man and bid him to think of~nothing and
123 12| accept all that God may give him.~ With respect to that which
124 12| opportunities presented to him to show.~
