  7 1 |          good hopes, and to~believe that I am loved by my friends;
  8 1 |        those whom he condemned,~and that his friends had no need
  9 1 |             complaining. I~observed that everybody believed that
 10 1 |             that everybody believed that he thought as he spoke,
 11 1 |            thought as he spoke, and that~in all that he did he never
 12 1 |           he spoke, and that~in all that he did he never had any
 13 1 |          improved. I observed, too, that no~man could ever think
 14 1 |             no~man could ever think that he was despised by Maximus,
 15 1 |           remission. And I observed that he had overcome all passion
 16 1 |            and his persistency, and that he never~stopped his investigation
 17 1 |             present themselves; and that his disposition was to keep~
 18 1 |        without excusing himself; so that when he~had them, he enjoyed
 19 1 |           one could ever say of him that he was~either a sophist
 20 1 |           in a careless way, but~so that, through his own attention,
 21 1 |         particular faculty, such as that of eloquence or knowledge
 22 1 |          and he gave them his help, that~each might enjoy reputation

 26 1 |             am thankful to the gods that I was not longer~brought
 27 1 |        grandfather's concubine, and that I preserved the~flower of
 28 1 |             flower of my youth, and that I did not make proof of

 30 1 |           bring me to the knowledge that it is possible~for a man
 31 1 |             and such-like show; but~that it is in such a man's power
 32 1 |         public interest in a manner that~befits a ruler. I thank
 33 1 |          his respect and affection;~that my children have not been
 34 1 |        stupid nor deformed in body; that I did~not make more proficiency
 35 1 |   completely engaged, if~I had seen that I was making progress in
 36 1 |            making progress in them; that I made haste to~place those
 37 1 |         they were then still young; that I knew~Apollonius, Rusticus,
 38 1 |      Apollonius, Rusticus, Maximus; that I received clear and frequent~

 40 1 |          kind of a~life that is, so that, so far as depended on the
 41 1 |          their direct instructions; that my~body has held out so
 42 1 |             in such a kind of life; that I never touched~either Benedicta
 43 1 |         Benedicta or Theodotus, and that, after having fallen into~
 44 1 |             had occasion to repent;~that, though it was my mother'
 45 1 |          years of her life with me; that, whenever I wished to help
 46 1 |          occasion, I was never told that I had~not the means of doing
 47 1 |          the means of doing it; and that to myself the same necessity
 48 1 |      receive anything from another; that I have such a wife,~so obedient,
 49 1 |        affectionate, and so simple; that I had~abundance of good
 50 1 |        masters for my children; and that remedies have been~shown
 51 1 | bloodspitting and~giddiness...; and that, when I had an inclination
 52 1 |           hands of any sophist, and that I did not waste my~time
 53 2 |         seen the nature of the good that it is~beautiful, and of
 54 2 |           beautiful, and of the bad that it is ugly, and the nature
 55 2 |       nature of him who~does wrong, that it is akin to me, not only
 56 2 |             same blood or seed,~but that it participates in the same
 57 2 |             away.~ Whatever this is that I am, it is a little flesh
 58 2 |        shrink from the future.~ All that is from the gods is full
 59 2 |         gods is full of Providence. That which is~from fortune is
 60 2 |           is besides necessity, and that which~is for the advantage
 61 2 |          which thou art a~part. But that is good for every part of
 62 2 |             the thirst after books, that thou mayest not die murmuring,
 63 2 |         existence is an~efflux, and that a limit of time is fixed
 64 2 |          and how this is related to that, and what~kind of a part
 65 2 |           what kind of a whole; and that there is no one~who hinders
 66 2 |            like a true philosopher, that the offences which are committed
 67 2 |       worthy of philosophy, he said that the offence which is~committed
 68 2 |     pleasure is more blameable than that which is committed~with
 69 2 |       desire.~ Since it is possible that thou mayest depart from
 70 2 |             provided for this also, that it should be altogether
 71 2 |            not to fall into it. Now that which does not make a man
 72 2 |        these things, is it possible that the nature of the universe
 73 2 |            them; nor is it possible that it has made so great a~mistake,
 74 2 |             power or want of skill, that good~and evil should happen
 75 2 |         what death is, and the fact that, if a man looks at it~in
 76 2 |      neighbours,~without perceiving that it is sufficient to attend
 77 2 |          defect being not less than that which deprives us of the~
 78 2 |            of distinguishing things that are white and black.~ Though
 79 2 |      thousand years, still remember that no man loses any~other life
 80 2 |             the same to all, though that which perishes~is not the
 81 2 |             is not the same; and so that which is lost appears to
 82 2 |         must bear in mind; the one, that all things from~eternity
 83 2 |         come round in a circle, and that it~makes no difference whether
 84 2 |      infinite time; and the second,~that the longest liver and he
 85 2 |             deprived, if~it is true that this is the only thing which
 86 2 |             thing which he has, and that a man~cannot lose a thing
 87 2 |            he has it not.~ Remember that all is opinion. For what
 88 2 |          what it is, it being right that even the smallest things~
 89 2 |           is oblivion. What then is that~which is able to conduct
 90 2 |          and~besides, accepting all that happens, and all that is
 91 2 |           all that happens, and all that is allotted, as~coming from
 92 3 |          OUGHT to consider not only that our life is daily wasting
 93 3 |             taken~into the account, that if a man should live longer,
 94 3 |            We ought to observe also that even the things which follow
 95 3 |            they please the mind; so that if a man~should have a feeling
 96 3 |        which is as much~inferior as that which serves it is superior:
 97 3 |             our thoughts everything that is without a purpose and~
 98 3 |         immediately answer, This or That; so~that from thy words
 99 3 |            answer, This or That; so~that from thy words it should
100 3 |            words it should be plain that everything in thee is~simple
101 3 |            a social animal, and one~that cares not for thoughts about
102 3 |          blush if thou shouldst say that thou hadst it in~thy mind.
103 3 |             what belongs to himself that he~makes the matter for
104 3 |             he constantly thinks of that~which is allotted to himself
105 3 |           fair, and he is persuaded that his own portion is~good.
106 3 |           it. And he remembers also that~every rational animal is
107 3 |          animal is his kinsman, and that to care for all men~is according
108 3 |        reason, and in the condition that is assigned to~thee without
109 3 |             all thy soul, and enjoy that which thou~hast found to
110 3 |           to give the~preference to that good thing which is thy
111 3 |            own; for it is not right that anything of any other kind,
112 3 |          come into competition with that which is rationally and
113 3 |        better, and hold to it.- But that which is~useful is the better.-
114 3 |           arrogance: only~take care that thou makest the inquiry
115 3 |         this only all through life, that his thoughts~turn not away
116 3 |            and~besides bear in mind that every man lives only this
117 3 |           an indivisible point, and that all the rest of his life
118 3 |           each.~ If thou workest at that which is before thee, following
119 3 |            to have the intelligence that guides to the~things which
120 3 |    everything else is common~to all that I have mentioned, there
121 3 |            mentioned, there remains that which is peculiar~to the
122 3 |           all men refuse to believe that he lives a simple,~modest,

124 4 |            the events which happen, that it always~easily adapts
125 4 |             easily adapts itself to that which is and is presented
126 4 |          material for itself out of~that which opposes it, as fire

129 4 |           thy mind this conclusion, that rational~animals exist for
130 4 |          exist for one another, and that to endure is a part of~justice,
131 4 |           is a part of~justice, and that men do wrong involuntarily;
132 4 |          thou art dissatisfied with that which is assigned to thee~
133 4 |            which it has been proved that the world~is a kind of political
134 4 |               Consider then further~that the mind mingles not with
135 4 |        power, and think also of all that thou hast heard and assented~
136 4 |        these, which are two. One is that things do~not touch the
137 4 |             is within. The~other is that all these things, which
138 4 |          community will any one say that the~whole human race are
139 4 |             from certain earth,~and that which is watery from another
140 4 |           from another element, and that which is hot~and fiery from
141 4 |            for nothing comes out of that~which is nothing, as nothing
142 4 |        constitution.~ It is natural that these things should be done
143 4 |            means bear this in~mind, that within a very short time
144 4 |            the harm is taken away.~ That which does not make a man
145 4 |         from~within.~ The nature of that which is universally useful
146 4 |     compelled to~do this.~ Consider that everything which happens,
147 4 |             Thou shalt disappear in that which~produced thee; but
148 4 |            to what he does himself,~that it may be just and pure;
149 4 |   posthumous fame does not consider~that every one of those who remember
150 4 |             and perish. But suppose that those~who will remember
151 4 |     remember are even immortal, and that the remembrance will~be
152 4 |            things and works of art. That which is really~beautiful
153 4 |           matter? The~division into that which is material and that
154 4 |          that which is material and that which is the cause of~form,
155 4 |           from doing well, but also that~which comes from doing few
156 4 |             wrong? It is~to himself that he does the wrong. Has anything
157 4 |             tears his own soul from that of reasonable~animals, which
158 4 |             with his whole soul all that he has, making~thyself neither
159 4 |            kingly power. Well then, that life of these people no~
160 4 |            is necessary to remember~that the attention given to everything
161 4 |          mere~nothing. What then is that about which we ought to
162 4 |            which gladly accepts all that~happens, as necessary, as
163 4 |             is only for a day, both that which remembers and that~
164 4 |            that which remembers and that~which is remembered.~ Observe
165 4 |     remembered.~ Observe constantly that all things take place by
166 4 |        accustom thyself to consider that the nature of the Universe
167 4 |           like them. For everything that exists is in a manner the
168 4 |             in a manner the seed~of that which will be. But thou
169 4 |          Where is it then? It is in that part of thee in which~subsists
170 4 |             and all is well. And if that which is~nearest to it,
171 4 |        about these~things be quiet, that is, let it judge that nothing
172 4 |        quiet, that is, let it judge that nothing is either bad or~
173 4 |           bad man and the good. For that~which happens equally to
174 4 |           the saying of Heraclitus, that the death of earth is~to
175 4 |          whither the way leads, and that men quarrel with that with~
176 4 |           and that men quarrel with that with~which they are most
177 4 |          them strange: and consider that we ought not to act and
178 4 |          seem to act and speak; and that we~ought not, like children
179 4 |       taught.~ If any god told thee that thou shalt die to-morrow,
180 4 |            an occasion. Why~then is that rather a misfortune than
181 4 |         dost~thou in all cases call that a man's misfortune, which
182 4 |            man's nature obtains all~that is its own? Remember too
183 4 |           apply this principle: not that this is a misfortune, but~
184 4 |           this is a misfortune, but~that to bear it nobly is good
185 5 |           thou not make haste to do~that which is according to thy
186 5 |        breathing out my breath into that element out~of which I daily
187 5 |             it in, and falling upon that earth out of~which my father
188 5 |           social animal to perceive that he is working~in a social
189 5 |          manner, and indeed to wish that his social partner also~
190 5 |           what is said, do not fear that for this reason thou wilt~
191 5 |         understand when it is said, That Aesculapius~prescribed to
192 5 |      understand it when it is said, That~the nature of the universe
193 5 |           the second case it~means: That which happens to (or, suits)
194 5 |            what we mean~when we say that things are suitable to us,
195 5 |           in walls or the pyramids, that they are suitable,~when
196 5 |            which is not suitable to that which~is directed by it.
197 5 |            right to be content with~that which happens to thee; the
198 5 |             the~other, because even that which comes severally to
199 5 |          repose in it. And remember that philosophy requires only~
200 5 |          such a kind of envelopment that they have seemed to~philosophers,
201 5 |         they are and worthless, and that they~may be in the possession
202 5 |           principles only: the one, that nothing will happen to me
203 5 |            universe; and the other, that~it is in my power never
204 5 |          And whose soul have I~now? That of a child, or of a young
205 5 |          receive as~very applicable that which was said by the comic
206 5 |             might be~aptly applied- that he who has them, through
207 5 |           part of the universe, and that again will change into~another
208 5 |          acts, which word signifies that they~proceed by the right
209 5 |            in these~things, nor yet that which aids to the accomplishment
210 5 |     accomplishment of this end, and~that which aids towards this
211 5 |            aids towards this end is that which is good. Besides,
212 5 |         worthy of praise who showed that he did not want these things,
213 5 |             as these: for instance, that~where a man can live, there
214 5 |         palace. And again,~consider that for whatever purpose each
215 5 |          carried;~and its end is in that towards which it is carried;
216 5 |   reasonable animal is society; for that we are made~for society
217 5 |        shown above. Is it not plain that the inferior~exist for the
218 5 |       madness: and it is impossible that the~bad should not do something
219 5 |             because he does not~see that they have happened or because
220 5 |        unharmed. It is a shame then that ignorance and~conceit should
221 5 |          wild beast. Now~it is true that these may impede my action,
222 5 |        activity into an aid; and so that which is a~hindrance is
223 5 |          furtherance to an act; and that which is an~obstacle on
224 5 |            on this road.~ Reverence that which is best in the universe;
225 5 |           the universe; and this is that which~makes use of all things
226 5 |          like manner~also reverence that which is best in thyself;
227 5 |         this is of the~same kind as that. For in thyself also, that
228 5 |          that. For in thyself also, that which makes use of~everything
229 5 |          life is directed by this.~ That which does no harm to the
230 5 |            assigned to thee; and of that which is fixed by~destiny,
231 5 |            to the mind~by virtue of that other sympathy that naturally
232 5 |       virtue of that other sympathy that naturally exists in a body
233 5 |           the~sensation the opinion that it is either good or bad.~
234 5 |          own soul is satisfied with that which is assigned~to him,
235 5 |             is assigned~to him, and that it does all that the daemon
236 5 |           him, and that it does all that the daemon wishes, which
237 5 |           arm-pits: it is necessary that such an~emanation must come
238 5 |             it. Why dost thou think that this is any trouble?~But
239 5 |        behaved to all in such a way that this may be said of thee:~ ~
240 5 |            been able to endure: and that~the history of thy life
241 5 |            has skill and knowledge? That which knows~beginning and
242 5 |            another state? And until that time comes, what is~sufficient?
243 5 |             and breath, to remember that this is neither thine nor
244 5 |     foster-child's top,~remembering that it was a top, so do thou
245 5 |           how.- But~fortunate means that a man has assigned to himself

247 6 |      conformity to any other~nature that each thing is accomplished,

249 6 |             or of a pig; and again, that this Falernian is only a~
250 6 |             when thou art most sure that thou art employed about
251 6 |         worth thy pains, it is then that it cheats thee most. Consider
252 6 |          hurrying out~of it; and of that which is coming into existence
253 6 |            of tongues. Suppose then that thou hast given up~this
254 6 |           called fame, what remains that is worth~valuing? This in
255 6 |             every art aims at this, that the~thing which has been

257 6 |            agreement~with the gods, that is, praising all that they
258 6 |         gods, that is, praising all that they give and have ordered.~
259 6 |            by thyself, do not~think that it is impossible for man:
