1 1 | well of teachers,~as it is reported of Domitius and
2 1 | a polity in~which there is the same law for all, a

4 1 | be applied to him which is recorded of~Socrates, that
5 1 | to be~sober in the other is the mark of a man who has
6 1 | to the knowledge that it is possible~for a man to live
7 1 | such-like show; but~that it is in such a man's power to
8 1 | what kind of a~life that is, so that, so far as depended
9 2 | their ignorance of what is~good and evil. But I who
10 2 | nature of the good that it is~beautiful, and of the bad
11 2 | and of the bad that it is ugly, and the nature of
12 2 | who~does wrong, that it is akin to me, not only of
13 2 | no one~can fix on me what is ugly, nor can I be angry
14 2 | against one another then is contrary to nature; and
15 2 | contrary to nature; and it is acting~against one another
16 2 | turn away.~ Whatever this is that I am, it is a little
17 2 | Whatever this is that I am, it is a little flesh and breath,
18 2 | longer distract thyself: it is~not allowed; but as if thou
19 2 | dying, despise the flesh; it is~blood and bones and a network,
20 2 | what kind of a thing it is, air, and~not always the
21 2 | sucked in.~The third then is the ruling part: consider
22 2 | from the future.~ All that is from the gods is full of
23 2 | All that is from the gods is full of Providence. That
24 2 | of Providence. That which is~from fortune is not separated
25 2 | That which is~from fortune is not separated from nature
26 2 | all things flow; and there is besides necessity, and that
27 2 | necessity, and that which~is for the advantage of the
28 2 | thou art a~part. But that is good for every part of nature
29 2 | nature. Now the~universe is preserved, as by the changes
30 2 | the universe thy existence is an~efflux, and that a limit
31 2 | and that a limit of time is fixed for thee, which if
32 2 | if a man lays hold of, he is able to live a life which
33 2 | which flows~in quiet, and is like the existence of the
34 2 | thyself. Every man's~life is sufficient. But thine is
35 2 | is sufficient. But thine is nearly finished, though
36 2 | Through not observing what is in the mind of another a
37 2 | always bear in mind, what is the nature of the whole,~
38 2 | nature of the whole,~and what is my nature, and how this
39 2 | my nature, and how this is related to that, and what~
40 2 | and what~kind of a part it is of what kind of a whole;
41 2 | a whole; and that there is no one~who hinders thee
42 2 | through~anger. For he who is excited by anger seems to
43 2 | said that the offence which is~committed with pleasure
44 2 | committed with pleasure is more blameable than that
45 2 | blameable than that which is committed~with pain; and
46 2 | and on the whole the one is more like a person who has
47 2 | wronged and through pain is compelled to be angry; but
48 2 | be angry; but the other~is moved by his own impulse
49 2 | something by desire.~ Since it is possible that thou mayest
50 2 | men, if there are gods, is not a thing to be afraid
51 2 | about human affairs, what is it to~me to live in a universe
52 2 | or correct~these things, is it possible that the nature
53 2 | has~overlooked them; nor is it possible that it has
54 2 | remembrance of them; what is the nature of~all sensible
55 2 | dead they are- all this it is the part of the intellectual
56 2 | give~reputation; what death is, and the fact that, if a
57 2 | of nature; and if any one is afraid of an operation of
58 2 | operation of nature, he is a~child. This, however,
59 2 | a~child. This, however, is not only an operation of
60 2 | operation of nature, but it is~also a thing which conduces
61 2 | and when~this part of man is so disposed.~ Nothing is
62 2 | is so disposed.~ Nothing is more wretched than a man
63 2 | seeks by conjecture what is in the minds of his neighbours,~
64 2 | without perceiving that it is sufficient to attend to
65 2 | the~same. For the present is the same to all, though
66 2 | though that which perishes~is not the same; and so that
67 2 | same; and so that which is lost appears to be a mere~
68 2 | the same.~For the present is the only thing of which
69 2 | man can be deprived, if~it is true that this is the only
70 2 | if~it is true that this is the only thing which he
71 2 | not.~ Remember that all is opinion. For what was said
72 2 | said by the Cynic Monimus~is manifest: and manifest too
73 2 | manifest: and manifest too is the use of what was said,
74 2 | got out of it as far as it is true.~ The soul of man does
75 2 | at anything which happens is a separation~of ourselves
76 2 | violence to~itself when it is overpowered by pleasure
77 2 | without~considering what it is, it being right that even
78 2 | end of rational animals is~to follow the reason and
79 2 | Of human life the time is a point, and the substance
80 2 | point, and the substance is in a flux,~and the perception
81 2 | which belongs to the body is a stream, and what belongs~
82 2 | what belongs~to the soul is a dream and vapour, and
83 2 | dream and vapour, and life is a warfare and a~stranger'
84 2 | sojourn, and after-fame is oblivion. What then is that~
85 2 | after-fame is oblivion. What then is that~which is able to conduct
86 2 | What then is that~which is able to conduct a man? One
87 2 | that happens, and all that is allotted, as~coming from
88 2 | from thence, wherever it is, from whence he himself
89 2 | which every living being is~compounded. But if there
90 2 | compounded. But if there is no harm to the elements
91 2 | all the elements? For~it is according to nature, and
92 2 | according to nature, and nothing is evil which is according
93 2 | and nothing is evil which is according to~nature.~ This
94 3 | consider not only that our life is daily wasting away~and a
95 3 | and a smaller part of it is left, but another thing
96 3 | man should live longer, it is quite~uncertain whether
97 3 | and whatever else there is of the kind,~will not fail;
98 3 | disciplined reason,~all this is already extinguished. We
99 3 | For instance, when bread is baked some~parts are split
100 3 | produced in the universe, there is hardly one of those which~
101 3 | indeed to another life, there is no want of gods, not even
102 3 | slave to the vessel, which is as much~inferior as that
103 3 | as that which serves it is superior: for the one is~
104 3 | is superior: for the one is~intelligence and deity;
105 3 | intelligence and deity; the other is earth and corruption.~ Do
106 3 | thoughts as these, What is such a person doing,~and
107 3 | doing,~and why, and what is he saying, and what is he
108 3 | what is he saying, and what is he thinking of, and what~
109 3 | he thinking of, and what~is he contriving, and whatever
110 3 | thoughts everything that is without a purpose and~useless,
111 3 | that everything in thee is~simple and benevolent, and
112 3 | thy mind. For the man who is such and no longer delays
113 3 | the~number of the best, is like a priest and minister
114 3 | using~too the deity which is planted within him, which
115 3 | everything which happens and is assigned~to him as his portion;
116 3 | does, or thinks. For it is only what belongs to himself
117 3 | constantly thinks of that~which is allotted to himself out
118 3 | his own acts fair, and he is persuaded that his own portion
119 3 | persuaded that his own portion is~good. For the lot which
120 3 | good. For the lot which is assigned to each man is
121 3 | is assigned to each man is carried along~with him and
122 3 | that~every rational animal is his kinsman, and that to
123 3 | that to care for all men~is according to man's nature;
124 3 | further, let the deity which~is in thee be the guardian
125 3 | and in the condition that is assigned to~thee without
126 3 | better than~the deity which is planted in thee, which has
127 3 | to that good thing which is thy proper possession and
128 3 | possession and thy~own; for it is not right that anything
129 3 | competition with that which is rationally and politically
130 3 | hold to it.- But that which is~useful is the better.- Well
131 3 | But that which is~useful is the better.- Well then,
132 3 | better.- Well then, if it is useful to thee as a~rational
133 3 | being, keep to it; but if it is only useful to thee as an~
134 3 | much~company; and, what is chief of all, he will live
135 3 | In the mind of one who is chastened and purified thou
136 3 | any sore skinned over. Nor is his~life incomplete when
137 3 | the play. Besides,~there is in him nothing servile,
138 3 | this present time,~which is an indivisible point, and
139 3 | all the rest of his life is~either past or it is uncertain.
140 3 | life is~either past or it is uncertain. Short then is
141 3 | is uncertain. Short then is the time which every man~
142 3 | description of the thing which is~presented to thee, so as
143 3 | what kind of a thing~it is in its substance, in its
144 3 | be resolved. For~nothing is so productive of elevation
145 3 | truly every object which is presented to thee in~life,
146 3 | what kind of universe this is, and what kind of use everything~
147 3 | with reference to man, who is a citizen of the highest~
148 3 | families; what each thing is,~and of what it is composed,
149 3 | thing is,~and of what it is composed, and how long it
150 3 | composed, and how long it is the nature of this~thing
151 3 | comes from God; and this is~according to the apportionment
152 3 | coincidence and chance; and this is from one of~the same stock,
153 3 | who knows not however~what is according to his nature.
154 3 | thou workest at that which is before thee, following right
155 3 | wilt live happy. And there is no~man who is able to prevent
156 3 | And there is no~man who is able to prevent this.~ As
157 3 | all for~thyself, while it is in thy power.~ They know
158 3 | ought to be done; for~this is not effected by the eyes,
159 3 | If then everything else is common~to all that I have
160 3 | there remains that which is peculiar~to the good man,
161 3 | and with~the thread which is spun for him; and not to
162 3 | defile the divinity which~is planted in his breast, nor
163 3 | and contented life, he is neither angry with any of
164 4 | which rules within, when it is according to nature, is
165 4 | is according to nature, is so~affected with respect
166 4 | adapts itself to that which is and is presented to it.
167 4 | itself to that which is and is presented to it. For it~
168 4 | extinguished: but when the fire is~strong, it soon appropriates
169 4 | itself the matter which is heaped on~it, and consumes
170 4 | things very~much. But this is altogether a mark of the
171 4 | common sort of men,~for it is in thy power whenever thou
172 4 | by looking into them he is~immediately in perfect tranquility;
173 4 | affirm that tranquility is~nothing else than the good
174 4 | another, and that to endure is a part of~justice, and that
175 4 | dissatisfied with that which is assigned to thee~out of
176 4 | alternative;~either there is providence or atoms, fortuitous
177 4 | been proved that the world~is a kind of political community,
178 4 | See how soon~everything is forgotten, and look at the
179 4 | the space within which it is~circumscribed, and be quiet
180 4 | last. For the whole earth is a point,~and how small a
181 4 | and how small a nook in it is this thy dwelling, and how
182 4 | these, which are two. One is that things do~not touch
183 4 | only from the opinion which is within. The~other is that
184 4 | which is within. The~other is that all these things, which
185 4 | witnessed. The universe is transformation:~life is
186 4 | is transformation:~life is opinion.~ If our intellectual
187 4 | If our intellectual part is common, the reason also,
188 4 | we are rational beings, is common: if this is so, common
189 4 | beings, is common: if this is so, common also is~the reason
190 4 | this is so, common also is~the reason which commands
191 4 | what not to do; if this~is so, there is a common law
192 4 | do; if this~is so, there is a common law also; if this
193 4 | common law also; if this is so, we are~fellow-citizens;
194 4 | fellow-citizens; if this is so, we are members of some
195 4 | political~community; if this is so, the world is in a manner
196 4 | if this is so, the world is in a manner a state. For
197 4 | For as my earthly part is a portion given to me from
198 4 | certain earth,~and that which is watery from another element,
199 4 | element, and that which is hot~and fiery from some
200 4 | comes out of that~which is nothing, as nothing also
201 4 | from some source.~ Death is such as generation is, a
202 4 | Death is such as generation is, a mystery of nature; a
203 4 | should be ashamed, for it is~not contrary to the nature
204 4 | of our constitution.~ It is natural that these things
205 4 | done by such persons, it~is a matter of necessity; and
206 4 | opinion, and then there is taken away the complaint,~"
207 4 | been harmed,"~and the harm is taken away.~ That which
208 4 | The nature of that which is universally useful has been
209 4 | but~with respect to what is just, and as if it were
210 4 | the sense in which a man is properly understood to be~
211 4 | change thy opinion, if~there is any one at hand who sets
212 4 | certain~persuasion, as of what is just or of common advantage,
213 4 | While thou livest, while it is in thy power, be good.~
214 4 | been extinguished as it is transmitted~through men
215 4 | will~be immortal, what then is this to thee? And I say
216 4 | thee? And I say not what is it to~the dead, but what
217 4 | it to~the dead, but what is it to the living? What is
218 4 | is it to the living? What is praise except indeed~so
219 4 | else...~ Everything which is in any way beautiful is
220 4 | is in any way beautiful is beautiful in itself, and~
221 4 | Neither~worse then nor better is a thing made by being praised.
222 4 | works of art. That which is really~beautiful has no
223 4 | modesty. Which of these things~is beautiful because it is
224 4 | is beautiful because it is praised, or spoiled by being
225 4 | spoiled by being blamed? Is~such a thing as an emerald
226 4 | worse than it was, if it is not~praised? Or gold, ivory,
227 4 | to dwell there. And this is the~answer which a man might
228 4 | animals. For what a number is consumed, and thus~in a
229 4 | the fiery element.~ What is the investigation into the
230 4 | division into that which is material and that which
231 4 | material and that which is the cause of~form, the formal.~
232 4 | harmonizes with me, which is harmonious to thee, O~Universe.
233 4 | Universe. Nothing for me is too early nor too late,
234 4 | early nor too late, which is in due~time for thee. Everything
235 4 | time for thee. Everything is fruit to me which thy seasons
236 4 | be better to say,~Do what is necessary, and whatever
237 4 | reason of the animal which is~naturally social requires,
238 4 | man should ask himself, Is this one of the unnecessary
239 4 | thee, the life of him who~is satisfied with his portion
240 4 | Does any one do wrong? It is~to himself that he does
241 4 | thee. In a word, thy life~is short. Thou must turn to
242 4 | thy relaxation.~ Either it is a well-arranged universe
243 4 | fraudulent, tyrannical.~ If he is a stranger to the universe
244 4 | universe who does not know what is in it,~no less is he a stranger
245 4 | know what is in it,~no less is he a stranger who does not
246 4 | stranger who does not know what is going on in it.~He is a
247 4 | what is going on in it.~He is a runaway, who flies from
248 4 | flies from social reason; he is blind, who~shuts the eyes
249 4 | of the understanding; he is poor, who has need of~another,
250 4 | are useful for~life. He is an abscess on the universe
251 4 | has produced thee too: he is a piece rent asunder~from
252 4 | reasonable~animals, which is one.~ The one is a philosopher
253 4 | which is one.~ The one is a philosopher without a
254 4 | other without a~book: here is another half naked: Bread
255 4 | times of Trajan. Again, all~is the same. Their life too
256 4 | the same. Their life too is gone. In like manner view
257 4 | content with it. And herein it is necessary to remember~that
258 4 | matters no further than is fit.~ The words which were
259 4 | conclude the matter, what is even an eternal remembrance?
260 4 | mere~nothing. What then is that about which we ought
261 4 | she pleases.~ Everything is only for a day, both that
262 4 | remembers and that~which is remembered.~ Observe constantly
263 4 | For everything that exists is in a manner the seed~of
264 4 | or into a womb: but this is a very vulgar notion.~ Thou
265 4 | kind they pursue.~ What is evil to thee does not subsist
266 4 | corporeal~covering. Where is it then? It is in that part
267 4 | covering. Where is it then? It is in that part of thee in
268 4 | form such opinions, and all is well. And if that which
269 4 | well. And if that which is~nearest to it, the poor
270 4 | nearest to it, the poor body, is burnt, filled with matter
271 4 | these~things be quiet, that is, let it judge that nothing
272 4 | let it judge that nothing is either bad or~good which
273 4 | lives according to nature, is neither according to nature
274 4 | Epictetus used~to say.~ It is no evil for things to undergo
275 4 | consequence of change.~ Time is like a river made up of
276 4 | thing has been seen, it is carried~away, and another
277 4 | Everything which happens is as familiar and well known
278 4 | fruit in summer; for such is disease, and death, and~
279 4 | before; for this series is not like a mere~enumeration
280 4 | necessary sequence,~but it is a rational connection: and
281 4 | that the death of earth is~to become water, and the
282 4 | and the death of water is to become air, and the~death
283 4 | air, and the~death of air is to become fire, and reversely.
284 4 | mean-spirited- for how small is the difference?- So think
285 4 | olive falls off~when it is ripe, blessing nature who
286 4 | such an occasion. Why~then is that rather a misfortune
287 4 | man's misfortune, which is not a~deviation from man'
288 4 | from man's nature, when it is not contrary to the will
289 4 | nature obtains all~that is its own? Remember too on
290 4 | principle: not that this is a misfortune, but~that to
291 4 | but~that to bear it nobly is good fortune.~ It is a vulgar,
292 4 | nobly is good fortune.~ It is a vulgar, but still a useful
293 4 | Altogether~the interval is small between birth and
294 4 | feeble body this interval is laboriously passed. Do not
295 4 | thee, and to the time which is before thee, another~boundless
296 4 | this infinity then what is the difference~between him
297 4 | short way; and the short way is the natural:~accordingly
298 5 | keep myself warm?- But this is more~pleasant.- Dost thou
299 5 | make haste to do~that which is according to thy nature?-
300 5 | according to thy nature?- But it is necessary to take~rest also.-
301 5 | necessary to take~rest also.- It is necessary: however nature
302 5 | these bounds, beyond what is sufficient; yet in thy acts~
303 5 | sufficient; yet in thy acts~it is not so, but thou stoppest
304 5 | thy labour?~ How easy it is to repel and to wipe away
305 5 | away every impression which is~troublesome or unsuitable,
306 5 | their words, but if a thing is good to be done or~said,
307 5 | nature; and the way of both is one.~ I go through the things
308 5 | exhibit, in which there is no excuse of~natural incapacity
309 5 | done a service to another, is ready to set it~down to
310 5 | favour conferred. Another is not ready to~do this, but
311 5 | what he has done, but he is like a vine which has produced~
312 5 | Yes.- But this very thing is necessary,~the observation
313 5 | observation of what a man is doing: for, it may be said,
314 5 | for, it may be said, it is~characteristic of the social
315 5 | animal to perceive that he is working~in a social manner,
316 5 | should perceive it.- It is true what thou sayest, but
317 5 | rightly understand what is now said: and for this reason
318 5 | understand the~meaning of what is said, do not fear that for
319 5 | must understand when it is said, That Aesculapius~prescribed
320 5 | must understand it when it is said, That~the nature of
321 5 | to (or, suits) every man is fixed in a~manner for him
322 5 | to his destiny. For this is what we mean~when we say
323 5 | of connexion. For there~is altogether one fitness,
324 5 | harmony. And as the universe is made up out~of all bodies
325 5 | to be such a body as it is, so out of all existing~
326 5 | causes necessity (destiny) is made up to be such a cause
327 5 | to be such a cause as it is. And~even those who are
328 5 | be, cause anything which is not suitable to that which~
329 5 | not suitable to that which~is directed by it. For two
330 5 | For two reasons then it is right to be content with~
331 5 | comes severally to every man is to~the power which administers
332 5 | the integrity of the~whole is mutilated, if thou cuttest
333 5 | dost cut off, as far as it is in thy power, when thou
334 5 | part of what thou doest is consistent with man's nature,
335 5 | have~something else which is not according to nature.-
336 5 | may be objected,~Why what is more agreeable than this
337 5 | this which I am doing?- But is not~this the very reason
338 5 | more~agreeable. For what is more agreeable than wisdom
339 5 | understand. And all our assent is changeable; for where is
340 5 | is changeable; for where is the man~who never changes?
341 5 | who live with thee, and it is hardly~possible to endure
342 5 | things moved, what there is worth being highly prized~
343 5 | But on the~contrary it is a man's duty to comfort
344 5 | will happen to me which~is not conformable to the nature
345 5 | and the other, that~it is in my power never to act
346 5 | god and daemon: for~there is no man who will compel me
347 5 | be in harmony with what is~really good. But if a man
348 5 | while we~receive it when it is said of wealth, and of the
349 5 | so,~even if the universe is administered according to
350 5 | a first principle which is their own, and they make
351 5 | their way to the~end which is proposed to them; and this
352 5 | proposed to them; and this is the reason why such acts~
353 5 | which aids towards this end is that which is good. Besides,
354 5 | towards this end is that which is good. Besides, if~any of
355 5 | like them, or even when he is~deprived of any of them,
356 5 | just in the same degree he is a better man.~ Such as are
357 5 | of thy mind; for the soul is dyed by the thoughts. Dye
358 5 | constituted, and towards this it is carried;~and its end is
359 5 | is carried;~and its end is in that towards which it
360 5 | in that towards which it is carried; and where the~end
361 5 | carried; and where the~end is, there also is the advantage
362 5 | where the~end is, there also is the advantage and the good
363 5 | for the reasonable animal is society; for that we are
364 5 | society has been shown above. Is it not plain that the inferior~
365 5 | have reason.~ To seek what is impossible is madness: and
366 5 | seek what is impossible is madness: and it is impossible
367 5 | impossible is madness: and it is impossible that the~bad
368 5 | happens to any man which he is not formed by nature to
369 5 | would show a great spirit he~is firm and remains unharmed.
370 5 | and remains unharmed. It is a shame then that ignorance
371 5 | it.~ In one respect man is the nearest thing to me,
372 5 | or a wild beast. Now~it is true that these may impede

414 5 | breath, to remember that this is neither thine nor in thy

453 6 | part of our food. What then is worth being~valued? To be
454 6 | which comes from the~many is a clapping of tongues. Suppose
455 6 | fame, what remains that is worth~valuing? This in my
