2001 11|             it.~ In the writings of the Ephesians there was this
2002 11|             to think of some one of the men of former times who~
2003 11|        times who~practised virtue.~ The Pythagoreans bid us in the
2004 11|          The Pythagoreans bid us in the morning look to the heavens
2005 11|           us in the morning look to the heavens that we~may be reminded
2006 11|         bodies which continually do the same things~and in the same
2007 11|           do the same things~and in the same manner perform their
2008 11|           harsh words.~ To look for the fig in winter is a madman'
2009 11|             of bad~omen to speak of the ears of corn being reaped."~
2010 11|             of corn being reaped."~ The unripe grape, the ripe bunch,
2011 11|         reaped."~ The unripe grape, the ripe bunch, the dried grape,
2012 11|       unripe grape, the ripe bunch, the dried grape, all are~changes,
2013 11|            that they have regard to the~value of the object; and
2014 11|         have regard to the~value of the object; and as to sensual
2015 11|           it with respect to any of the things which are not in
2016 11|        which are not in our power.~ The dispute then, he said, is
2017 12|          wilt take no notice of all the past, and trust~the future
2018 12|             all the past, and trust~the future to providence, and
2019 12|           to providence, and direct the present only conformably
2020 12|         thou mayest be content~with the lot which is assigned to
2021 12|            thou mayest always~speak the truth freely and without
2022 12|            without disguise, and do the things which~are agreeable
2023 12|             to law and according to the worth of each. And let~neither
2024 12|          opinion nor voice,~nor yet the sensations of the poor flesh
2025 12|           nor yet the sensations of the poor flesh which has grown
2026 12|           has grown about thee;~for the passive part will look to
2027 12|             this. If then, whatever the time may~be when thou shalt
2028 12|         only thy ruling faculty and the divinity~within thee, and
2029 12|             wilt be a man worthy of the universe~which has produced
2030 12|             this or that.~ God sees the minds (ruling principles)
2031 12|     principles) of all men bared of the~material vesture and rind
2032 12|  intellectual~part alone he touches the intelligence only which
2033 12|              For~he who regards not the poor flesh which envelops
2034 12|           like externals and show.~ The things are three of which
2035 12|              intelligence. Of these the first two are~thine, so
2036 12|           to take care of them; but the third~alone is properly
2037 12|             happen, and whatever in the~body which envelops thee
2038 12|           which envelops thee or in the breath (life), which is
2039 12|           by nature~associated with the body, is attached to thee
2040 12|           of thy will,~and whatever the external circumfluent vortex
2041 12|        vortex whirls round, so that~the intellectual power exempt
2042 12|      intellectual power exempt from the things of fate can live
2043 12|             what happens~and saying the truth: if thou wilt separate,
2044 12|            from this ruling~faculty the things which are attached
2045 12|         which are attached to it by the impressions of~sense, and
2046 12|           impressions of~sense, and the things of time to come and
2047 12|           really thy life, that~is, the present- then thou wilt
2048 12|        which remains for thee up to the time of thy death, free
2049 12|      obedient to thy own daemon (to the god~that is within thee).~
2050 12|         loves himself more~than all the rest of men, but yet sets
2051 12|          opinion~of himself than on the opinion of others. If then
2052 12|      ourselves.~ How can it be that the gods after having arranged
2053 12|             had most~communion with the divinity, and through pious
2054 12|             been most intimate with the divinity, when they~have
2055 12|             to have been~otherwise, the gods would have done it.
2056 12|             thou art disputing with the~diety; and we should not
2057 12|        should not thus dispute with the gods, unless they~were most
2058 12|            have allowed anything in the ordering of the universe
2059 12|         anything in the ordering of the universe to be~neglected
2060 12|            Practise thyself even in the things which thou despairest
2061 12|             accomplishing. For even the left hand, which is ineffectual
2062 12|             want of practice, holds the bridle more vigorously~than
2063 12|         bridle more vigorously~than the right hand; for it has been
2064 12|    overtaken by death; and consider the shortness of life, the~boundless
2065 12|     consider the shortness of life, the~boundless abyss of time
2066 12|            of time past and future, the feebleness of all matter.~
2067 12|            all matter.~ Contemplate the formative principles (forms)
2068 12|            bare of their~coverings; the purposes of actions; consider
2069 12|             fame; who is to himself the cause of his~uneasiness;
2070 12|          everything is~opinion.~ In the application of thy principles
2071 12|        principles thou must be like the~pancratiast, not like the
2072 12|           the~pancratiast, not like the gladiator; for the gladiator

2076 12|              make thyself worthy of the help of the divinity. But
2077 12|       thyself worthy of the help of the divinity. But if~there is
2078 12|           intelligence. And even~if the tempest carry thee away,
2079 12|             away, let it carry away the poor flesh,~the poor breath,
2080 12|          carry away the poor flesh,~the poor breath, everything
2081 12|        breath, everything else; for the intelligence at least it~
2082 12|          will not carry away.~ Does the light of the lamp shine
2083 12|            away.~ Does the light of the lamp shine without losing

2098 12|             as it were~pull thee by the strings. What is there now
2099 12|           or desire, or anything of the kind?~ First, do nothing
2100 12|            nowhere, nor~will any of the things exist which thou
2101 12|            mariner,~who has doubled the promontory, thou wilt find
2102 12|           evil for this reason that the act~has ceased. In like
2103 12|         ceased. In like manner then the whole which consists of
2104 12|         whole which consists of all the~acts, which is our life,
2105 12|           terminated~this series at the proper time, has he been
2106 12|            been ill dealt with. But the~proper time and the limit
2107 12|             But the~proper time and the limit nature fixes, sometimes
2108 12|             sometimes as in old age the~peculiar nature of man,
2109 12|           nature of man, but always the universal nature, by the
2110 12|            the universal nature, by the change~of whose parts the
2111 12|           the change~of whose parts the whole universe continues
2112 12|       everything which is useful to the universal is always good
2113 12|            and~in season. Therefore the termination of life for
2114 12|           it is both independent of the~will and not opposed to
2115 12|             will and not opposed to the general interest, but it
2116 12|    profitable to and congruent with the universal.~For thus too

2128 12|           human things, and observe the variety of them how great
2129 12|             how great it is,~and at the same time also shouldst
2130 12|            at a glance how great is the~number of beings who dwell
