 1 2 |          then is the ruling part: consider thus: Thou art an old man;~

 3 3 |         BOOK THREE~ ~ WE OUGHT to consider not only that our life is
 4 4 |          wrong involuntarily; and consider how many~already, after
 5 4 |          still fasten upon thee.- Consider then further~that the mind
 6 4 |       been compelled to~do this.~ Consider that everything which happens,
 7 4 |          posthumous fame does not consider~that every one of those
 8 4 |         wouldst be tranquil.- But consider if it would not be better
 9 4 |        nor the slave of any man.~ Consider, for example, the times
10 4 |           and~accustom thyself to consider that the nature of the Universe
11 4 |         seem to~them strange: and consider that we ought not to act
12 4 |      between birth and death; and consider with how~much trouble, and
13 4 |   laboriously passed. Do not then~consider life a thing of any value.
14 5 |           be done or~said, do not consider it unworthy of thee. For
15 5 |         pleasure deceives us? And consider if~magnanimity, freedom,
16 5 |           objects themselves,~and consider how short-lived they are
17 5 |           in a palace. And again,~consider that for whatever purpose
18 5 |           which stands still. And~consider this which is near to thee,
19 5 |          kinsfolk, to thy slaves? Consider if thou hast hitherto~behaved
20 6 |         that it cheats thee most. Consider then~what Crates says of
21 6 |       dispersed among the~atoms.~ Consider how many things in the same
22 6 |          of one form.~ Frequently consider the connexion of all things
23 6 |         like him. As to all these consider that they have long been
24 7 |       thee any wrong, immediately consider with what~opinion about
25 7 |           things they pursue. And consider that as the heaps of sand
26 7 |          one who is really a man, consider~if this is not a thing to
27 7 |         with them; and constantly consider the changes of the elements~
28 7 |       combination of contraries.~ Consider the past; such great changes
29 7 |          it~has what is its own.~ Consider thyself to be dead, and
30 8 |         things were they slaves?~ Consider that men will do the same
31 8 |        The last of~his race. Then consider what trouble those before
32 8 |           be the last. Again here consider the death of a whole race.~
33 8 |          come together again. But consider the~kindness by which he
34 8 |         pursue posthumous fame do consider that the men of after time~
35 9 |         and that thou mayest also~consider that his ruling faculty
36 9 |           thing goes~on well, and consider such an event to be no small
37 9 |       live~together, and die. And consider, too, the life lived by
38 9 |           of an uninstructed man? Consider whether~thou shouldst not
39 10|           whole of substance,~and consider that all individual things
40 10| constituted by nature as to die.~ Consider what men are when they are
41 10|           and after a little time consider in what a~condition they
42 10|         less plainly.~ Constantly consider how all things such as they
43 10|          time~past also were; and consider that they will be the same
44 10|         in which we are held. And consider that only to the rational
45 10|  constitution; for a man ought to consider as an enjoyment~everything
46 10|          get rid of us. Thou wilt consider~this then when thou art
47 11|    allowed to seek his own good.~ Consider whence each thing is come,
48 11|       have offended against thee, consider first: What is my~relation
49 11|          of one~another.~ Second, consider what kind of men they are
50 11|        are; and as to their acts, consider with what pride they~do
51 11|        their neighbours.~ Fourth, consider that thou also doest many
52 11|         from such faults.~ Fifth, consider that thou dost not even
53 11|       another man's acts.~ Sixth, consider when thou art much vexed
54 11|         everything else.~ Eighth, consider how much more pain is brought
55 11|          angry and vexed.~ Ninth, consider that a good disposition
56 11|       thoughts; for thou shouldst consider it among the most absurd
57 11|          is no veil over a star.~ Consider what a man Socrates was
58 12|          been practised in this.~ Consider in what condition both in
59 12|           overtaken by death; and consider the shortness of life, the~
60 12|          the purposes of actions; consider what pain is, what~pleasure
61 12|        like tearing his own face. Consider that he, who would not~have
62 12|       else than to a social end.~ Consider that before long thou wilt
63 12| continuous~succession may exist.~ Consider that everything is opinion,
64 12|      happen to~thee from without, consider that it happens either by
65 12|        accuse~Providence. Second, consider what every being is from
66 12|           the air and the aether,~consider that as often as thou shouldst
