 502 5 |             which have not life, and of those which have life~the
 503 5 |              should not do something of this kind.~ Nothing happens

 506 5 |              is that which~makes use of all things and directs all
 507 5 |              in thyself; and this is of the~same kind as that. For

 549 6 |               and whether ill-spoken of or praised; and whether
 550 6 |        something else. For it is one of the acts of life, this act
 551 6 |            For it is one of the acts of life, this act by~which
 552 6 |         neither the peculiar quality of anything nor its~value escape
 553 6 |              it works.~ The best way of avenging thyself is not
 554 6 |         another social act, thinking of God.~ The ruling principle
 555 6 |             conformity to the nature of the universe every single
 556 6 |             external and independent of this.~ The universe is either
 557 6 |              and a mutual involution of~things, and a dispersion;
 558 6 |             a fortuitous~combination of things and such a disorder?
 559 6 |        disturbed, for the dispersion of my elements will happen
 560 6 |              and do not continue out of tune~longer than the compulsion
 561 6 |           that this is the dead body of a fish, and this is the
 562 6 |            and this is the dead~body of a bird or of a pig; and
 563 6 |           the dead~body of a bird or of a pig; and again, that this
 564 6 |             wool dyed with~the blood of a shell-fish: such then
 565 6 |              and so we see what~kind of things they are. Just in
 566 6 |             which appear most worthy of~our approbation, we ought
 567 6 |         worthlessness and strip them of all the words by which they
 568 6 |             is a wonderful perverter of the reason,~and when thou
 569 6 |       Consider then~what Crates says of Xenocrates himself.~ Most
 570 6 |            Xenocrates himself.~ Most of the things which the multitude
 571 6 |              are referred to~objects of the most general kind, those
 572 6 |             as it possesses a number of~slaves. But he who values
 573 6 |          this end with those~who are of the same kind as himself.~
 574 6 |              others are hurrying out~of it; and of that which is
 575 6 |              hurrying out~of it; and of that which is coming into
 576 6 |             the uninterrupted course of time is always renewing
 577 6 |       renewing the~infinite duration of ages. In this flowing stream
 578 6 |            no abiding, what is there of the things which hurry by
 579 6 |         should fall~in love with one of the sparrows which fly by,
 580 6 |            it has already~passed out of sight. Something of this
 581 6 |              out of sight. Something of this kind is the very life
 582 6 |           this kind is the very life of~every man, like the exhalation
 583 6 |             man, like the exhalation of the blood and the respiration
 584 6 |            blood and the respiration of the~air. For such as it
 585 6 |            beasts, nor the~receiving of impressions by the appearances
 586 6 |       impressions by the appearances of things, nor being moved~
 587 6 |            this is just like the act of separating and~parting with
 588 6 |        parting with the useless part of our food. What then is worth
 589 6 |            be received with clapping of hands? No. Neither must
 590 6 |           must we~value the clapping of tongues, for the praise
 591 6 |          from the~many is a clapping of tongues. Suppose then that
 592 6 |           education and the teaching of youth aim at something.
 593 6 |            In this then~is the value of the education and the teaching.
 594 6 |             nor without passion. For of necessity thou must~be envious,
 595 6 |              jealous, and suspicious of those who can take away
 596 6 |             which is valued by~thee. Of necessity a man must be
 597 6 |             be altogether in a state of perturbation~who wants any
 598 6 |           perturbation~who wants any of these things; and besides,
 599 6 |             around are the movements of the elements. But~the motion
 600 6 |             elements. But~the motion of virtue is in none of these:
 601 6 |          motion of virtue is in none of these: it is something more
 602 6 |            we~neither show any signs of vexation, nor are we offended,
 603 6 |               but we quietly get out of his way. Something like
 604 6 |            be in all the other parts of life; let us overlook~many
 605 6 |         power, as I said, to get out of the way, and to have no~
 606 6 |             they have none,~make use of them with a generous and
 607 6 |             thyself about the~length of time in which thou shalt

 610 6 |        wouldst thou with a straining of the voice utter~each letter?
 611 6 |           that every duty is made up of~certain parts. These it
 612 6 |         angry.~ Death is a cessation of the impressions through
 613 6 |              through the senses, and of~the pulling of the strings
 614 6 |           senses, and of~the pulling of the strings which move the
 615 6 |              move the appetites, and of the~discursive movements
 616 6 |             the~discursive movements of the thoughts, and of the
 617 6 |       movements of the thoughts, and of the service to the flesh.~
 618 6 |           from affectation, a friend of~justice, a worshipper of
 619 6 |             of~justice, a worshipper of the gods, kind, affectionate,
 620 6 |              There is~only one fruit of this terrene life, a pious
 621 6 |             everything as a disciple of Antoninus. Remember his
 622 6 |              piety, and the serenity of his countenance, and~his
 623 6 |         sweetness, and his disregard of empty fame, and his efforts
 624 6 |            and how exact an examiner of manners and actions he was;~
 625 6 |           how he was~able on account of his sparing diet to hold
 626 6 |             how he tolerated freedom of speech in those who opposed

 628 6 |              which~are not the works of its own activity. But whatever
 629 6 |        whatever things are the~works of its own activity, all these
 630 6 |          these are in its power. And of these~however only those
 631 6 |              and the past activities of the mind, even these are~
 632 6 |         which the hand does nor that of the foot is~contrary to
 633 6 |           long as it does the things of a man. But if the~labour
 634 6 |              reason (the principles) of~their art and do not endure
 635 6 |              reason (the principles) of their own arts than man
 636 6 |             Asia, Europe are corners of the universe: all the sea
 637 6 |        universe; Athos a little clod of the universe: all the present~
 638 6 |        directly proceeding or by way of sequence. And~accordingly
 639 6 |              mud, are after-products of the~grand and beautiful.
 640 6 |           then imagine that they are of another kind~from that which
 641 6 |              but form a just opinion of the~source of all.~ He who
 642 6 |           just opinion of the~source of all.~ He who has seen present
 643 6 |              end; for all things are of one kin and of one form.~
 644 6 |            things are of one kin and of one form.~ Frequently consider
 645 6 |    Frequently consider the connexion of all things in the universe~
 646 6 |       another, and this is by~virtue of the active movement and
 647 6 |           conspiration and the unity of~the substance.~ Adapt thyself
 648 6 |              intelligence.~ Whatever of the things which are not
 649 6 |            for thee or evil, it must of necessity be that,~if such
 650 6 |              befall thee or the loss of such a good thing, thou~
 651 6 |              those who are the cause of~the misfortune or the loss,
 652 6 |              those who are suspected of being likely~to be the cause;
 653 6 |           also when they~are asleep, of whom it is Heraclitus, I
 654 6 |           the universe had need~even of such men as these. It remains
 655 6 |           understand~among what kind of workmen thou placest thyself;
 656 6 |           certainly make a right use of thee, and he will~receive
 657 6 |         receive thee among some part of the co-operators and of
 658 6 |              of the co-operators and of those whose~labours conduce
 659 6 |              which Chrysippus speaks of.~ Does the sun undertake
 660 6 |             undertake to do the work of the rain, or Aesculapius~
 661 6 |              or Aesculapius~the work of the Fruit-bearer (the earth)?
 662 6 |              it with respect~to each of the stars, are they not
 663 6 |          which is the special~object of their providence? But if
 664 6 |           things which happen by way of sequence in this general~
 665 6 |            gods determine about~none of the things which concern
 666 6 |             this is for the interest~of the universal: this might
 667 6 |             the common sense as said of~things of the middle kind,
 668 6 |              sense as said of~things of the middle kind, neither
 669 6 |             that~the continual sight of the same things and the
 670 6 |     wearisome, so it is in the whole of life; for all things~above,
 671 6 |           continually that all kinds of men and of all kinds of
 672 6 |            that all kinds of men and of all kinds of pursuits~and
 673 6 |              of men and of all kinds of pursuits~and of all nations
 674 6 |            all kinds of pursuits~and of all nations are dead, so
 675 6 |          thoughts to the~other kinds of men. To that place then
 676 6 |             Socrates; so many heroes of former days, and so many~
 677 6 |            Archimedes, and other men of acute natural talents,~great
 678 6 |         talents,~great minds, lovers of labour, versatile, confident,
 679 6 |              confident, mockers even of~the perishable and ephemeral
 680 6 |        perishable and ephemeral life of man, as Menippus and such
 681 6 |            to delight thyself, think of the virtues of~those who
 682 6 |        thyself, think of the virtues of~those who live with thee;
 683 6 |           for instance, the activity of one, and the~modesty of
 684 6 |              of one, and the~modesty of another, and the liberality
 685 6 |          another, and the liberality of a third, and some other
 686 6 |              some other good~quality of a fourth. For nothing delights
 687 6 |              so much as the examples of~the virtues, when they are
 688 6 |              exhibited in the morals of those who live~with us and
 689 6 |            satisfied with the amount of substance which has been

 693 6 |             or the doctor the health of those whom he attends?~
 694 6 |           world are already gone~out of it.~ To the jaundiced honey
 695 6 |              according to the reason of thy~own nature: nothing
 696 6 |          thee contrary to the reason of~the universal nature.~ What
 697 6 |         universal nature.~ What kind of people are those whom men
 698 6 |            objects, and by what kind of acts? How soon will time
 699 7 |            seen. And on the~occasion of everything which happens
 700 7 |          histories are filled, those of the~middle ages and those
 701 7 |            the~middle ages and those of our own day; with which
 702 7 |                Let this be the state of thy affects, and thou~standest
 703 7 |           this consists the~recovery of thy life.~ The idle business
 704 7 |             life.~ The idle business of show, plays on the stage,
 705 7 |           plays on the stage, flocks of sheep,~herds, exercises
 706 7 |           cast to little dogs, a bit of~bread into fish-ponds, labourings
 707 7 |          into fish-ponds, labourings of ants and burden-carrying,~
 708 7 |      burden-carrying,~runnings about of frightened little mice,
 709 7 |           thy duty then in the midst of such things to show~good
 710 7 |             the man who with the aid of my ruling principle~can
 711 7 |             have celebrated the fame of others have~long been dead.~
 712 7 |             alone, but with the help of~another it is possible?~
 713 7 |              is one universe made up of all things, and~one God
 714 7 |            for all animals which are of the same~stock and participate
 715 7 |          disappears in the substance of the whole;~and everything
 716 7 |     universal reason; and the memory of everything is very soon~
 717 7 |     co-operation. And the perception of this will~be more apparent
 718 7 |           that I am~a member (melos) of the system of rational beings.
 719 7 |         member (melos) of the system of rational beings. But if (
 720 7 |           doest it barely as a thing of propriety, and~not yet as
 721 7 |           which can feel~the effects of this fall. For those parts
 722 7 |             has~completely the power of forming an opinion about
 723 7 |             away.~ Is any man afraid of change? Why what can take
 724 7 |              the whole, as the parts of our body with one another.~
 725 7 |     something which the~constitution of man does not allow, or in
 726 7 |            Near is thy forgetfulness of all things; and near the~
 727 7 |           and near the~forgetfulness of thee by all.~ It is peculiar
 728 7 |  unintentionally,~and that soon both of you will die; and above
 729 7 |             The universal nature out of the universal substance,
 730 7 |             something else; and each~of these things subsists for
 731 7 |           For~if even the perception of doing wrong shall depart,
 732 7 |            which~thou seest, and out of their substance will make
 733 7 |            things from the substance of them, in order that the
 734 7 |             he~does or another thing of the same kind. It is thy
 735 7 |            error.~ Think not so much of what thou hast not as of
 736 7 |             of what thou hast not as of what thou hast: but of~the
 737 7 |            as of what thou hast: but of~the things which thou hast
 738 7 |        imagination. Stop the pulling of the strings. Confine~thyself
 739 7 |              and the material. Think of thy last hour. Let the wrong
 740 7 |              fame: Look at the minds of those who seek fame, observe
 741 7 |              they are, and what kind of things they avoid, and what
 742 7 |            they avoid, and what kind of~things they pursue. And
 743 7 |           consider that as the heaps of sand piled on~one another
 744 7 |       elevated mind and takes a view of all~time and of all substance,
 745 7 |         takes a view of all~time and of all substance, dost thou
 746 7 |            reaped like the ripe ears of corn:~ One man is born;
 747 7 |          ought to compute the hazard of life or death,~and should
 748 7 |             or unjust, and the works of a good or a bad~man.~ For
 749 7 |            man.~ For thus it is, men of Athens, in truth: wherever
 750 7 |            else, before the baseness of deserting his post.~ But,
 751 7 |            and there~must be no love of life: but as to these matters
 752 7 |            Look round at the courses of the stars, as if thou wert
 753 7 |      constantly consider the changes of the elements~into one another;
 754 7 |        thoughts purge away the filth of the~terrene life.~ This
 755 7 |                This is a fine saying of Plato: That he who is discoursing
 756 7 |      treaties, births, deaths, noise of~the courts of justice, desert
 757 7 |          deaths, noise of~the courts of justice, desert places,
 758 7 |              places, various nations of barbarians,~feasts, lamentations,
 759 7 |     lamentations, markets, a mixture of all things and an~orderly
 760 7 |           and an~orderly combination of contraries.~ Consider the
 761 7 |             past; such great changes of political supremacies. Thou~
 762 7 |           For they will~certainly be of like form, and it is not
 763 7 |        should~deviate from the order of the things which take place
 764 7 |              is either a dissolution of the mutual involution of
 765 7 |             of the mutual involution of the atoms, or~a similar
 766 7 |              or~a similar dispersion of the unsentient elements.~ ~
 767 7 |           with respect to the faults of his~neighbours.~ Where any
 768 7 |          able to get profit by means of the activity which is successful
 769 7 |             constituted for the sake of rational beings,~just as
 770 7 |            the inferior for the sake of the~superior, but the rational
 771 7 |            the rational for the sake of one another.~ The prime
 772 7 |             yield to the persuasions of the body, for it is~the
 773 7 |            it is~the peculiar office of the rational and intelligent
 774 7 |     overpowered either by the~motion of the senses or of the appetites,
 775 7 |              motion of the senses or of the appetites, for both
 776 7 |          formed by~nature to use all of them. The third thing in
 777 7 |              is spun with the thread~of thy destiny. For what is
 778 7 |            intent upon the right way of making use of the things~
 779 7 |              right way of making use of the things~which happen
 780 7 |               Within is the fountain of good, and it will ever bubble~
 781 7 |     maintaining in it the expression of intelligence and propriety,
 782 7 |              the whole body. But all of these things~should be observed
 783 7 |        without affectation.~ The art of life is more like the wrestler'
 784 7 |             the dancer's,~in respect of this, that it should stand
 785 7 |          thou lookest to the sources of their opinions and~appetites.~
 786 7 |            is involuntarily deprived of~truth; consequently in the
 787 7 |              same way it is deprived of justice and~temperance and
 788 7 |           benevolence and everything of the kind. It is most~necessary
 789 7 |           social. Indeed in the case~of most pains let this remark
 790 7 |           most pains let this remark of Epicurus aid thee, that
 791 7 |           art discontented about any of these things,~say to thyself,
 792 7 |            he was bid to~arrest Leon of Salamis, he considered it
 793 7 |          ought to~inquire, what kind of a soul it was that Socrates
 794 7 |        neither idly vexed on account of men's villainy, nor yet~
 795 7 |           that fell to his share out of the universal, nor~enduring
 796 7 |          sympathize with the affects of the miserable flesh.~ Nature
 797 7 |    intelligence with the composition of~the body, as not to have
 798 7 |          have allowed thee the power of circumscribing~thyself and
 799 7 |           circumscribing~thyself and of bringing under subjection
 800 7 |          because thou hast despaired of becoming a dialectician
 801 7 |             skilled~in the knowledge of nature, do not for this
 802 7 |             reason renounce the hope~of being both free and modest
 803 7 |             the~greatest tranquility of mind, even if all the world
 804 7 |           tear in pieces~the members of this kneaded matter which
 805 7 |        hinders the mind in the midst of all this from maintaining
 806 7 |              and in a just judgement of all surrounding things and~
 807 7 |            things and~in a ready use of the objects which are presented
 808 7 |             thou mayest~appear to be of a different kind; and the
 809 7 |             a word, for the exercise of art,~which belongs to man
 810 7 |             work on.~ The perfection of moral character consists
 811 7 |              as they are and so many~of them bad; and besides this,
 812 7 |            this, they also take care of them in all~ways. But thou,
 813 7 |            so soon, art thou wearied of~enduring the bad, and this
 814 7 |           this too when thou art one of them?~ It is a ridiculous
 815 7 |        either to have~the reputation of having done a good act or

 817 7 |         nature. Do not then be tired of receiving what is~useful
 818 7 |            it to others.~ The nature of the An moved to make the
 819 7 |             takes place comes by way of consequence or continuity;~
 820 7 |       towards which the ruling power of the~universe directs its
 821 8 |            also tends to the removal of the desire of empty~fame,
 822 8 |            the removal of the desire of empty~fame, that it is no
 823 8 |              to have lived the whole of thy~life, or at least thy
 824 8 |           thee to get the reputation of a philosopher; and thy~plan
 825 8 |            philosopher; and thy~plan of life also opposes it. If
 826 8 |             thou shalt live the rest of thy life in such wise as~
 827 8 |             thou hast had experience of many wanderings without~
 828 8 |          mentioned.~ On the occasion of every act ask thyself, How
 829 8 |        respect~to me? Shall I repent of it? A little time and I
 830 8 |          what I am now doing is work of an~intelligent living being,
 831 8 |            and the ruling~principles of these men were the same.
 832 8 |              according to the nature of the universal; and in a
 833 8 |       without hypocrisy.~ The nature of the universal has this work
 834 8 |             us; but the~distribution of them still remains the same.~
 835 8 |            by the common nature.~For of this common nature every
 836 8 |             is a part, as the~nature of the leaf is a part of the
 837 8 |         nature of the leaf is a part of the nature of the plant;
 838 8 |              is a part of the nature of the plant; except that~in
 839 8 |              in the plant the nature of the leaf is part of a nature
 840 8 |           nature of the leaf is part of a nature which has~not perception
 841 8 |              impeded; but the nature~of man is part of a nature
 842 8 |            the nature~of man is part of a nature which is not subject
 843 8 |        taking all the parts together of one thing and comparing
 844 8 |          with all the parts together of another.~ Thou hast not
 845 8 |       leisure to be superior to love of fame,~and not to be vexed
 846 8 |           own.~ Repentance is a kind of self-reproof for having
 847 8 |           such man would~ever repent of having refused any sensual
 848 8 |            possible, on the occasion of every~impression on the

 851 8 |             of Physic, of~Ethic, and of Dialectic.~ Whatever man

 888 8 |         anywhere apart from the rest of the body, such does a man
 889 8 |            as a part.~ As the nature of the universal has given
 890 8 |             makes such things a part of itself, so also the rational
 891 8 |          disturb thyself by thinking of the whole of thy life. Let
