271 6 | reason which governs it has in itself no cause for doing

273 6 | to do well what~we have in hand.~ Look within. Let
274 6 | wrong~doer.~ Take pleasure in one thing and rest in it,

276 6 | one thing and rest in it, in passing from one~social
277 6 | to be such as~it wills.~ In conformity to the nature
278 6 | for certainly it is not in conformity to any other~
279 6 | why do I desire to tarry in a fortuitous~combination
280 6 | and I am firm,~and I trust in him who governs.~ When thou

282 6 | philosophy frequently and~repose in her, through whom what thou
283 6 | whom what thou meetest with in the court~appears to thee
284 6 | thou appearest tolerable in the court.~ When we have
285 6 | of things they are. Just in the same way ought we to

290 6 | infinite duration of ages. In this flowing stream then,
291 6 | as if a man should fall~in love with one of the sparrows

293 6 | Neither is transpiration, as in plants, a thing to be valued,
294 6 | valued, nor~respiration, as in domesticated animals and
295 6 | strings, nor assembling in herds, nor being~nourished
296 6 | that is worth~valuing? This in my opinion, to move thyself
297 6 | and to restrain thyself~in conformity to thy proper
298 6 | youth aim at something. In this then~is the value of
299 6 | a man must be altogether in a state of perturbation~
300 6 | content with thyself, and in harmony with society, and
301 6 | harmony with society, and in agreement~with the gods,
302 6 | the motion of virtue is in none of these: it is something
303 6 | attained~by thyself too.~ In the gymnastic exercises
304 6 | this~let thy behaviour be in all the other parts of life;
305 6 | us overlook~many things in those who are like antagonists
306 6 | who are like antagonists in the gymnasium. For it~is
307 6 | the gymnasium. For it~is in our power, as I said, to
308 6 | he is injured who abides in his error and~ignorance.~
309 6 | they have reason, behave in a social spirit. And on
310 6 | about the~length of time in which thou shalt do this;
311 6 | Consider how many things in the same indivisible time
312 6 | indivisible time take place~in each of us, things which
313 6 | which come into existence in that which is the~one and
314 6 | which we call Cosmos, exist in it at the same time.~ If
315 6 | every letter? just so~then in this life also remember
316 6 | and profitable! And~yet in a manner thou dost not allow
317 6 | to be first to give way in this life,~when thy body

319 6 | Remember his constancy~in every act which was conformable
320 6 | reason, and his evenness in~all things, and his piety,
321 6 | unjustly without blaming them in~return; how he did nothing
322 6 | return; how he did nothing in a hurry; and how he listened
323 6 | firmness and uniformity in his friendships; and~how
324 6 | tolerated freedom of speech in those who opposed his~opinions;
325 6 | which troubled thee, now in thy waking hours look at
326 6 | activity, all these are in its power. And of these~
327 6 | those who are not skilled in their~craft- nevertheless

331 6 | relation to one another. For in a manner all things are~
332 6 | with one another, and all in this way are friendly to

339 6 | things which belong to~it are in conformity to intelligence.~

347 6 | As it happens to thee in the amphitheatre and such

349 6 | that they have long been in the~dust. What harm then
350 6 | great deal, to~pass thy life in truth and justice, with
351 6 | when they are exhibited in the morals of those who

388 7 | Another may be more expert in casting his opponent; but
