1 2 | opportunity from the gods, and yet dost~not use it. Thou must now
2 2 | for thee, which if thou dost~not use for clearing away
3 3 | about others,~when thou dost not refer thy thoughts to
4 3 | nothing else, for if thou dost once diverge and incline
5 4 | reason? I have.- Why then dost not thou use it? For if~
6 4 | its own work, what else dost thou wish?~ Thou hast existed
7 4 | disposed towards all; nor dost thou yet place wisdom only~
8 4 | this a good fortune? And dost~thou in all cases call that
9 5 | this is more~pleasant.- Dost thou exist then to take
10 5 | for action or exertion? Dost thou not see the little
11 5 | work of a human being, and dost thou not make haste to do~
12 5 | from trifling magnanimity. Dost thou not see how many qualities
13 5 | what thou sayest, but thou dost not~rightly understand what
14 5 | of the causes.~And thou dost cut off, as far as it is
15 5 | nor dissatisfied, if thou dost~not succeed in doing everything
16 5 | smoky, and I quit it. Why dost thou think that this is
17 5 | an empty thing. Why then dost thou~not wait in tranquility
18 6 | And~yet in a manner thou dost not allow them to do this,
19 6 | robbers, patricides,~tyrants.~ Dost thou not see how the handicraftsmen
20 6 | kind~from that which thou dost venerate, but form a just
21 6 | to think, that, if thou dost live and act~according to
22 6 | a general truth, if thou dost observe, that~whatever is
23 6 | thing. Why then am I angry? Dost thou think that a false
24 7 | art a part (meros) thou dost not yet~love men from thy
25 7 | accomplished without change? Dost thou~not see then that for
26 7 | pardon him. But if thou dost not think such things to
27 7 | however take care that thou dost not through being so~pleased
28 7 | time and of all substance, dost thou suppose it possible
29 7 | they?~Nowhere. Why then dost thou too choose to act in
30 7 | in the same way? And why~dost thou not leave these agitations
31 7 | another has received it, why dost~thou look for a third thing
32 8 | is in thy own power, why dost thou do it? But if it is
33 8 | the power of another, whom dost thou blame? The atoms (chance)
34 8 | end, a horse, a vine. Why dost thou~wonder? Even the sun
35 8 | to thee to be right, why dost thou not~rather act than
36 8 | exists~himself. What then dost thou think of him who avoids
37 8 | they are~or who they are?~ Dost thou wish to be praised
38 9 | without end. What, then, dost thou say? That all things~
39 9 | art thou become a beast,~dost thou herd and feed with
40 9 | they~have no power, why dost thou pray to them? But if
41 9 | if they have power, why~dost thou not pray for them to
42 9 | the same time that thou~dost remind thyself that it is
43 9 | the profit. For what more dost thou want when thou hast~
44 9 | conformable to thy nature, and dost thou seek to be paid for~
45 10| magnanimous, take care that thou dost not~change these names;
46 10| fallest out of them and dost not maintain thy hold,~go
47 10| without studying~nature dost thou imagine, and how many
48 10| thou imagine, and how many dost thou neglect? But it is~
49 10| turning back: but if thou dost not see clear, stop~and
50 10| this object, and~if thou dost fail, let thy failure be
51 10| in what like manner thou dost err thyself; for example,
52 11| others; and even if thou dost abstain from certain~faults,
53 11| some such~mean motive, thou dost abstain from such faults.~
54 11| Fifth, consider that thou dost not even understand whether
55 12| canst have now, if thou dost not refuse them to thyself.~
56 12| invincible necessity, why dost thou~resist? But if there
