501 10|      implicates thee very much with that other part,~which has the
502 10|          and magnanimous, take care that thou dost not~change these
503 10|        return~to them. And remember that the term Rational was intended
504 10|        freedom from~negligence; and that Equanimity is the voluntary
505 10|           by the common nature; and that~Magnanimity is the elevation
506 10|             of the flesh, and above that poor~thing called fame,
507 10|          But if thou shalt~perceive that thou fallest out of them
508 10|           rememberest the gods, and that they wish not to be flattered,
509 10|             and if thou~rememberest that what does the work of a
510 10|         fig-tree is a fig-tree, and~that what does the work of a
511 10|         work of a dog is a dog, and that what does the work~of a
512 10|         work~of a bee is a bee, and that what does the work of a
513 10|            and so to do everything, that at the same~time the power
514 10|            the body, and as he sees that he~must, no one knows how
515 10|              and in everything else that happens he resigns himself
516 10|           consideration, keeping to that~which appears to be just.
517 10|           not forgotten, I suppose, that those who assume arrogant~
518 10|              let them kill him. For~that is better than to live thus
519 10|           all about the kind of man that a good man ought to~be,
520 10|             substance,~and consider that all individual things as
521 10|         gimlet.~ Look at everything that exists, and observe that
522 10|            that exists, and observe that it is already in~dissolution
523 10|      putrefaction or~dispersion, or that everything is so constituted
524 10|            condition they will be.~ That is for the good of each
525 10|           say then to the~universe, that I love as thou lovest. And
526 10|           And is not this too said, that~"this or that loves (is
527 10|             too said, that~"this or that loves (is wont) to be produced"?~
528 10|            always be plain to thee, that this piece of land is like~
529 10|         land is like~any other; and that all things here are the
530 10|             also were; and consider that they will be the same again.
531 10|           we are held. And consider that only to the rational animal
532 10|          the occasion of everything that thou doest, pause and~ask
533 10|            for example, in~thinking that money is a good thing, or
534 10|        consideration also is added, that the man is~compelled: for
535 10|         reflectest at the same time that~what has once changed will
536 10|        brightness out of everything that is thrown~into it.~ Let
537 10|          power to say truly of thee that thou~art not simple or that
538 10|         that thou~art not simple or that thou are not good; but let
539 10|            thy power. For who is he that shall hinder thee from~being
540 10|         thou art not such.~ What is that which as to this material (
541 10|             and do not make~excuses that thou art hindered. Thou
542 10|         mind is in such a condition that, what luxury is to those
543 10|            to go through~everything that opposes them, and in such
544 10|          may happen to any of them, that which is~so affected becomes
545 10|     accidents. And finally remember that~nothing harms him who is
546 10|       common precept, to remind him that he~should be free from grief
547 10|            be ready to perceive all~that can be heard and smelled.
548 10|       everything which happens; but that which~says, Let my dear
549 10|        There is no man so fortunate that there shall not be by him
550 10|            going to happen. Suppose~that he was a good and wise man,
551 10|            schoolmaster? It is true that he was harsh to none of
552 10|         none of us, but I~perceived that he tacitly condemns us.-
553 10|            thyself~first.~ Remember that this which pulls the strings
554 10|              differing only in this that~they grow to the body. For
555 11|            the fruits of plants and that in animals~which corresponds
556 11|            it full and complete, so~that it can say, I have what
557 11|          things, and it~comprehends that those who come after us
558 11|            virtue of the uniformity that prevails all things which
559 11|             which have been and~all that will be. This too is a property
560 11|            whole life.~ What a soul that is which is ready, if at
561 11|           continue to exist; but so that this readiness comes~from
562 11|           which happen to them, and that it is according to~nature
563 11|            things to happen so, and that, if you are delighted with~
564 11|         should not be troubled with that which~takes place on the
565 11|           larger stage. For you see that these things must be~accomplished
566 11|           be~accomplished thus, and that even they bear them who
567 11|          must not chale and fret at that which happens.~ ~And~ ~
568 11|         into a mere mimic artifice. That some good~things are said
569 11|            How plain does it appear that there is not another condition
570 11|           him, and he does not know that he has at the same time
571 11|          our power to grow again to~that which is near to us, and
572 11|           it~makes it difficult for that which detaches itself to
573 11|           life with it, is not like that which after being cut off
574 11|        gardeners mean~when they say that it grows with the rest of
575 11|           the rest of the tree, but that it has~not the same mind
576 11|          things. But if this is so, that nature which is the most~
577 11|            all things and the truth that is in~itself.~ Suppose any
578 11|         despise me. Let him look to that himself.~But I will look
579 11|            But I will look to this, that I be not discovered doing
580 11|              and~art satisfied with that which at this moment is
581 11|         placed at thy post in~order that what is for the common advantage
582 11|           man who smells~strong, so that the bystander as soon as
583 11|       together, and if it remembers that not one of them produces
584 11|             and if we remember also that such attention will only
585 11|            when it~has changed, and that it will sustain no harm.~
586 11|             my~relation to men, and that we are made for one another;
587 11|            do what they do.~ Third, that if men do rightly what they
588 11|           do not right, it is plain that they do so~involuntarily
589 11|       neighbours.~ Fourth, consider that thou also doest many things
590 11|        doest many things wrong, and that~thou art a man like others;
591 11|            faults.~ Fifth, consider that thou dost not even understand
592 11|          art much vexed or grieved, that man's life~is only a moment,
593 11|            laid out dead.~ Seventh, that it is not men's acts which
594 11|             opinions? By reflecting that no wrongful act of another~
595 11|           shame on thee: for unless that which is shameful is alone~
596 11|             vexed.~ Ninth, consider that a good disposition is invincible,
597 11|           and by general principles that this is so, and that even~
598 11|     principles that this is so, and that even~bees do not do as he
599 11|         wert lecturing him, nor yet~that any bystander may admire,
600 11|            the excitement of anger, that to be moved by~passion is
601 11|           passion is not manly, but that mildness and gentleness,
602 11|            Apollo), and it is this- that to expect bad men not to
603 11|              Is it not then~strange that thy intelligent part only
604 11|          discontented with anything that~happens, then too it deserts
605 11|          about~some certain things, that is, things which concern
606 11|           by the worst of all ends,~that is, I would not receive
607 11|         morning look to the heavens that we~may be reminded of those
608 11|        movements he~must be careful that they be made with regard
609 11|            regard to circumstances, that~they be consistent with
610 11|   consistent with social interests, that they have regard to the~
611 12|      justice. Conformably to piety, that thou mayest be content~with
612 12|             Conformably to justice, that thou mayest always~speak
613 12|             be dependent on this or that.~ God sees the minds (ruling
614 12|        shalt separate from~thyself, that is, from thy understanding,
615 12|             vortex whirls round, so that~the intellectual power exempt
616 12|            time to come and of time that is past, and~wilt make thyself
617 12|            what is really thy life, that~is, the present- then thou
618 12|           thou wilt be able to pass that portion of life~which remains
619 12|          thy own daemon (to the god~that is within thee).~ I have
620 12|            often wondered how it is that every man loves himself
621 12|           ourselves.~ How can it be that the gods after having arranged
622 12|         have overlooked this alone, that some~men and very good men,
623 12|           if this is so, be assured that if it ought to have been~
624 12|           not~so, be thou convinced that it ought not to have been
625 12|          thou~seest even of thyself that in this inquiry thou art
626 12|             is hindered by another; that everything is~opinion.~
627 12|          approve, and~to accept all that God may give him.~ With
628 12|          give him.~ With respect to that which happens conformably
629 12|        without governor, be content that in such a~tempest thou hast
630 12|           done wrong, how do I know that he has not condemned himself?
631 12|      tearing his own face. Consider that he, who would not~have the
632 12|         must end.~ Perceive at last that thou hast in thee something
633 12|             a social end.~ Consider that before long thou wilt be
634 12|       turned and to perish in order that other things in continuous~
635 12|     succession may exist.~ Consider that everything is opinion, and
636 12|            any evil for this reason that the act~has ceased. In like
637 12|             no~evil for this reason that it has ceased; nor he who
638 12|         thee from without, consider that it happens either by chance
639 12|            and the aether,~consider that as often as thou shouldst
640 12|           thou hast forgotten this,~that all things happen according
641 12|         nature; and~forgotten this, that a man's wrongful act is
642 12|           thou hast forgotten this, that everything which happens,~
643 12|            hast forgotten this too, that~every man's intelligence
644 12|          deity;~and forgotten this, that nothing is a man's own,
645 12|         nothing is a man's own, but that his child~and his body and
646 12|          the deity; forgotten this,~that everything is opinion; and
647 12|          lastly thou hast forgotten that~every man lives the present
