64 3 | They know not how many things are signified by the words

67 4 | all discontent with the things to~which thou returnest.
68 4 | fortuitous concurrence of things;~or remember the arguments
69 4 | But perhaps~corporeal things will still fasten upon thee.-
70 4 | but be~free, and look at things as a man, as a human being,
71 4 | a mortal. But among the things readiest to thy hand to
72 4 | which are two. One is that things do~not touch the soul, for
73 4 | other is that all these things, which thou seest, change
74 4 | It is natural that these things should be done by such persons,
75 4 | continuity of the series of things, but~with respect to what
76 4 | have such an opinion of things as he has who does thee
77 4 | affirm~this also of the things which are called beautiful
78 4 | vulgar,~for example, material things and works of art. That which
79 4 | modesty. Which of these things~is beautiful because it
80 4 | Nature: from thee are all things, in thee are all things,
81 4 | things, in thee are all things, to thee~all things return.
82 4 | all things, to thee~all things return. The poet says, Dear
83 4 | Occupy thyself with few things, says the philosopher, if
84 4 | which comes from doing few things. For the greatest part of
85 4 | this one of the unnecessary things? Now a~man should take away
86 4 | disposition.~ Hast thou seen those things? Look also at these. Do
87 4 | All? And this too when all things are so separated and~diffused
88 4 | has not from himself all things which are useful for~life.
89 4 | being~displeased with the things which happen, for the same
90 4 | Thou wilt see all~these things, people marrying, bringing
91 4 | distracting themselves about idle things, neglecting to do what was
92 4 | Hadrian and~Antoninus. For all things soon pass away and become
93 4 | thy thread into whatever things she pleases.~ Everything
94 4 | Observe constantly that all things take place by change, and~
95 4 | so much as to change the things which are and to make new~
96 4 | which are and to make new~things like them. For everything
97 4 | of being hurt by external things,~nor kindly disposed towards
98 4 | of the wise, what kind~of things they avoid, and what kind
99 4 | forms opinions about these~things be quiet, that is, let it
100 4 | soul; and observe how all things have reference to~one perception,
101 4 | living being; and how all~things act with one movement; and
102 4 | one movement; and how all things are the cooperating~causes
103 4 | cooperating~causes of all things which exist; observe too
104 4 | say.~ It is no evil for things to undergo change, and no
105 4 | change, and no good for things~to subsist in consequence
106 4 | them.~ In the series of things those which follow are always
107 4 | enumeration of disjointed things, which has only a necessary
108 4 | connection: and as all existing things are~arranged together harmoniously,
109 4 | together harmoniously, so the things which come into~existence
110 4 | governs the universe; and the things which daily meet with seem
111 4 | ephemeral and worthless human things are, and~what was yesterday
112 5 | if I am going to do the things for which I exist and for~
113 5 | rather than to perfect the things which they care for. But
114 5 | peculiar movement;~which things do not thou regard, but
115 5 | is one.~ I go through the things which happen according to
116 5 | but there are many other things of which thou canst not
117 5 | thy portion and with~few things, benevolence, frankness,
118 5 | been delivered from these things~long ago. Only if in truth
119 5 | we mean~when we say that things are suitable to us, as the
120 5 | Let us~then receive these things, as well as those which
121 5 | and accomplishment of the things, which the common nature~
122 5 | philosophy requires only~the things which thy nature requires;
123 5 | the happy course of all things which~depend on the faculty
124 5 | understanding and knowledge?~ Things are in such a kind of envelopment
125 5 | time, and of~motion and of things moved, what there is worth
126 5 | wild beast?~ What kind of things those are which appear good
127 5 | should conceive certain~things as being really good, such
128 5 | first conceived as good the things which~appear to the many
129 5 | should value and think those things to be good, to which after
130 5 | right road.~ None of these things ought to be called a man'
131 5 | end of man lie in these~things, nor yet that which aids
132 5 | Besides, if~any of these things did belong to man, it would
133 5 | that he did not want these things, nor~would he who stinted
134 5 | be good, if indeed these~things were good. But now the more
135 5 | But now the more of these things a man deprives~himself of,
136 5 | himself of, or of other things like them, or even when
137 5 | of the superior? But the things which have life are~superior
138 5 | nature to bear.~The same things happen to another, and either
139 5 | be stronger than wisdom.~ Things themselves touch not the
140 5 | it makes for itself the things which~present themselves
141 5 | becomes to me one of the things which~are indifferent, no
142 5 | that which~makes use of all things and directs all things.
143 5 | all things and directs all things. And in like manner~also
144 5 | the rapidity with which things pass by and disappear,~both
145 5 | and disappear,~both the things which are and the things
146 5 | things which are and the things which are produced. For~
147 5 | flow, and the activities of~things are in constant change,
148 5 | the future in which all things disappear. How then is he~
149 5 | who is puffed up with such things or plagued about them and~
150 5 | it has~made the inferior things for the sake of the superior,
151 5 | concord with one another the~things which are the best.~ How
152 5 | recollection both how many things thou hast passed~through,
153 5 | passed~through, and how many things thou hast been able to endure:
154 5 | and how many beautiful things thou hast seen: and how
155 5 | hast despised; and how many things called honourable~thou hast
156 5 | sound and echo. And the things~which are much valued in
157 5 | the right way. These~two things are common both to the soul
158 5 | inconsiderately by the appearance of things,~but give help to all according
159 5 | forgotten, man,~what these things are?- Yes; but they are
160 5 | be made a fool for these things?- I~was once a fortunate
161 6 | anything~harmed by it. But all things are made and perfected according
162 6 | escape thee.~ All existing things soon change, and they will
163 6 | and a mutual involution of~things, and a dispersion; or it
164 6 | fortuitous~combination of things and such a disorder? And
165 6 | impressions, and they~reach the things themselves and penetrate
166 6 | and so we see what~kind of things they are. Just in the same
167 6 | life, and where there are things which appear most worthy
168 6 | thou art employed about things~worth thy pains, it is then
169 6 | Xenocrates himself.~ Most of the things which the multitude admire
170 6 | reasonable are referred to the things which are held together~
171 6 | more instructed are the things which are held~together
172 6 | except this; and above all~things he keeps his soul in a condition
173 6 | same kind as himself.~ Some things are hurrying into existence,
174 6 | abiding, what is there of the things which hurry by on which
175 6 | impressions by the appearances of things, nor being moved~by desires
176 6 | cease to value many~other things too? Then thou wilt be neither
177 6 | who can take away those~things, and plot against those
178 6 | perturbation~who wants any of these things; and besides, he must often
179 6 | life; let us overlook~many things in those who are like antagonists
180 6 | ignorance.~ I do my duty: other things trouble me not; for they
181 6 | not; for they are either~things without life, or things
182 6 | things without life, or things without reason, or things
183 6 | things without reason, or things that have~rambled and know
184 6 | reason and generally all things~and objects, do thou, since
185 6 | atoms.~ Consider how many things in the same indivisible
186 6 | take place~in each of us, things which concern the body and
187 6 | which concern the body and things which~concern the soul:
188 6 | not wonder if many more things,~or rather all things which
189 6 | more things,~or rather all things which come into existence
190 6 | men to strive after the things which~appear to them to
191 6 | certainly moved towards~things because they suppose them
192 6 | with this dye; for such things happen. Keep thyself then~
193 6 | and his evenness in~all things, and his piety, and the
194 6 | his efforts to~understand things; and how he would never
195 6 | hours look at these (the~things about thee) as thou didst
196 6 | to this little body all~things are indifferent, for it
197 6 | the understanding those things only are indifferent, which~
198 6 | own activity. But whatever things are the~works of its own
199 6 | so long as it does the things of a man. But if the~labour
200 6 | a point in eternity. All things are little, changeable,~
201 6 | changeable,~perishable. All things come from thence, from that
202 6 | He who has seen present things has seen all, both everything
203 6 | time without end; for all things are of one kin and of one
204 6 | consider the connexion of all things in the universe~and their
205 6 | another. For in a manner all things are~implicated with one
206 6 | substance.~ Adapt thyself to the things with which thy lot has been
207 6 | is not there. But in the~things which are held together
208 6 | also in the universe the things which belong to~it are in
209 6 | intelligence.~ Whatever of the things which are not within thy
210 6 | difference between these things. But if we judge only those
211 6 | But if we judge only those things~which are in our power to
212 6 | and co-operators in the things which take place in the~
213 6 | thyself; for he who rules~all things will certainly make a right
214 6 | determined about me and about the things which must~happen to me,
215 6 | whole at least,~and the things which happen by way of sequence
216 6 | determine about~none of the things which concern us, I am able
217 6 | man, it is~the world. The things then which are useful to
218 6 | common sense as said of~things of the middle kind, neither
219 6 | continual sight of the same things and the uniformity make
220 6 | the whole of life; for all things~above, below, are the same
221 6 | attainest thy object, if the things to which thou~wast moved
222 6 | disturbed in our soul; for things themselves have no natural
223 6 | soon will time cover all~things, and how many it has covered
224 7 | thou wilt find~the same things, with which the old histories
225 7 | There is nothing new: all things are both familiar and~short-lived.~
226 7 | why am I~disturbed? The things which are external to my
227 7 | is in thy power. Look at things~again as thou didst use
228 7 | then in the midst of such things to show~good humour and
229 7 | worth just so much as the things are worth about which he
230 7 | possible?~ Let not future things disturb thee, for thou wilt
231 7 | now thou~usest for present things.~ All things are implicated
232 7 | for present things.~ All things are implicated with one
233 7 | with any other thing. For~things have been co-ordinated,
234 7 | universe made up of all things, and~one God who pervades
235 7 | one God who pervades all things, and one substance, and
236 7 | forming an opinion about these things, will~suffer nothing, for
237 7 | thy forgetfulness of all things; and near the~forgetfulness
238 7 | else; and each~of these things subsists for a very short
239 7 | whole will soon change all things which~thou seest, and out
240 7 | substance will make other things, and~again other things
241 7 | things, and~again other things from the substance of them,
242 7 | thou dost not think such things to be good or evil,~thou
243 7 | what thou hast: but of~the things which thou hast select the
244 7 | understanding enter~into the things that are doing and the things
245 7 | things that are doing and the things which do them.~ Adorn thyself
246 7 | indifference~towards the things which lie between virtue
247 7 | they are, and what kind of things they avoid, and what kind
248 7 | avoid, and what kind of~things they pursue. And consider
249 7 | right to vex ourselves at things,~ For they care nought about
250 7 | should look also at earthly things as if he viewed them from
251 7 | markets, a mixture of all things and an~orderly combination
252 7 | mayest foresee also the things which will be. For they
253 7 | deviate from the order of the things which take place now: accordingly~
254 7 | universal nature through the things which happen to thee, and
255 7 | constitution; and all~other things have been constituted for
256 7 | just as among irrational things the inferior for the sake
257 7 | principle holding fast to these things go straight on, and it~has
258 7 | eyes those to whom the~same things happened, and how they were
259 7 | treated them as~strange things, and found fault with them:
260 7 | way of making use of the things~which happen to thee? For
261 7 | whole body. But all of these things~should be observed without
262 7 | do not perceive that many things which~are disagreeable to
263 7 | discontented about any of these things,~say to thyself, that thou
264 7 | judgement of all surrounding things and~in a ready use of the
265 7 | continuity;~or even the chief things towards which the ruling
266 7 | thee more tranquil in~many things.~
267 8 | they were acquainted with~things, and their causes (forms),
268 8 | to the others, how many~things had they to care for, and
269 8 | care for, and to how many things were they slaves?~ Consider
270 8 | that men will do the same things nevertheless, even~though
271 8 | Be not perturbed, for all things are~according to the nature
272 8 | remove to that~place the things which are in this, to change
273 8 | to carry them there. All things are change, yet we~need
274 8 | not fear anything new. All things are familiar to us; but
275 8 | desires and~aversions to the things which are in its power,
276 8 | if he does such and such~things; and I shall bear in mind
277 8 | world produces such and~such things of which it is productive;
278 8 | gods, and the source of all things, from which all that happens
279 8 | dirt, filthy water,~all things disgusting- so is every
280 8 | the~universe and of the things which happen in it.~ There
281 8 | relations between thee and other things: the one~to the body which
282 8 | divine cause~from which all things come to all; and the third
283 8 | all; but looking at all things I see what is their~nature,
284 8 | opposes it,~and makes such things a part of itself, so also
285 8 | nature.~Apply all these things then to thyself. Does pain
286 8 | consideration the usual course of~things, thou hast not yet been
287 8 | injured nor even impeded. The things~however which are proper
288 8 | even to another.~ Different things delight different people.
289 8 | any man~or from any of the things which happen to men, but
290 8 | well pleased too with the~things which are obstacles.~ Remember
291 8 | not add, And why were~such things made in the world? For thou
292 8 | shavings and cuttings from the things which they make. And~yet
293 8 | and again makes other new things~from these very same, so
294 8 | thee. What~then can these things do to prevent thy mind from
295 8 | failed in any~one of these things could not even say for what
296 8 | intelligence which embraces all things. For the intelligent~power
297 8 | all parts and pervades all things for him~who is willing to
298 9 | nature is the nature of things~that are; and things that
299 9 | of things~that are; and things that are have a relation
300 9 | are have a relation to all things that~come into existence.
301 9 | is the prime cause of all things that are true. He then who~
302 9 | alleging that it assigns things to the bad~and the good
303 9 | pleasure and possess the things which procure~pleasure,
304 9 | for their share and the things which~cause pain. And further,
305 9 | be afraid of some of the things which will happen in the
306 9 | Now with respect to the~things towards which the universal
307 9 | beginning to this ordering~of things, having conceived certain
308 9 | certain principles of the things which~were to be, and having
309 9 | has had enough of these~things is the next best voyage,
310 9 | this too is~one of those things which nature wills. For
311 9 | there is one earth of all things which are of an earthy nature,
312 9 | all that have life.~ All things which participate in anything
313 9 | comparison with all other things, in the same degree also
314 9 | and armistices. But in the things which are~still superior,
315 9 | produce a sympathy even in things which are~separated. See,
316 9 | terms to the vine and like things, this is nothing. Reason
317 9 | are produced from it~other things of the same kind as reason
318 9 | and in my opinions.~ All things are the same, familiar in
319 9 | those whom we have buried.~ Things stand outside of us, themselves
320 9 | are of~themselves.~ All things are changing: and thou thyself
321 9 | faculty, when it does the things which it is constituted
322 9 | the attainment of those things on which~they set a value.~
323 9 | elements are the origin of all things.- In a~word, if there is
324 9 | too, will~change, and the things also which result from change
325 9 | perturbations with respect to the things~which come from the external
326 9 | there be justice in the~things done by virtue of the internal
327 9 | of the way many useless things among those~which disturb
328 9 | and about what kind of~things are they busy, and for what
329 9 | in obedience to her all things are now done~well, and from
330 9 | dost thou say? That all things~have been and all things
331 9 | things~have been and all things always will be bad, and
332 9 | many gods to rectify these things, but the world~has been
333 9 | whether we examine~these things for a hundred years or three.~
334 9 | done wrong.~ Either all things proceed from one intelligent
335 9 | of not fearing~any of the things which thou fearest, or of
336 9 | not desiring any of the~things which thou desirest, or
337 9 | than pray that any of these things should not happen or happen?
338 9 | do not aid us even~in the things which are in our power?
339 9 | then, to pray for such~things, and thou wilt see. One
340 9 | discourse on the nature of~things as before, keeping to this
341 10| generates and holds together all things, and~contains and embraces
342 10| contains and embraces all things which are dissolved for
343 10| production of other like things? Wilt thou never be such
344 10| discontented with none of~the things which are assigned to me
345 10| rather direct~myself to the things which are of the same kind
346 10| contrary. Now, if these things are done so, life must flow
347 10| design to do evil to the things which are~parts of herself,
348 10| and should~speak of these things as natural, even then it
349 10| particularly~as the dissolution of things is into those things of

355 10| contemplative way of seeing how all things change into~one another,
356 10| contented with these two things, with acting justly in what

371 10| what else are all these things, except~exercises for the
372 10| examination into their nature the things which happen in life?~Persevere
373 10| thou shalt have made these things thy own, as the~stomach
374 10| is strengthened makes all things its own, as the blazing~
375 10| to thee, the doing of the things which are conformable~to
