246 10| if thou~rememberest that what does the work of a fig-tree
247 10| is a fig-tree, and~that what does the work of a dog is
248 10| a dog is a dog, and that what does the work~of a bee is
249 10| a bee is a bee, and that what does the work of a man is

259 10| thou hast not forgotten what they do, and~what they avoid
260 10| forgotten what they do, and~what they avoid and what they
261 10| and~what they avoid and what they pursue, and how they
262 10| instructed and modest says, Give what thou wilt; take back what
263 10| what thou wilt; take back what thou~wilt. And he says this
264 10| nature as to die.~ Consider what men are when they are eating,
265 10| themselves and so forth. Then what kind of men they are when~
266 10| they were slaves~and for what things; and after a little
267 10| little time consider in what a~condition they will be.~
268 10| For thou wilt find just what Plato says, Dwelling within
269 10| shepherd's fold on a mountain.~ What is my ruling faculty now

279 10| time in an orderly way? What matter and opportunity for
280 10| activity~art thou avoiding? For what else are all these things,
281 10| if thou art not such.~ What is that which as to this
282 10| in such a condition that, what luxury is to those who enjoy~
283 10| misfortunes not one~harms law. What then does not harm law does
284 10| some who are pleased with what is going to happen. Suppose~
285 10| tacitly condemns us.- This is what is said of a~good man. But
286 10| inquire with thyself, For what object is~this man doing
287 11| may be~stopped, it makes what has been set before it full
288 11| that it can say, I have what is my own. And further it
289 11| also to thy whole life.~ What a soul that is which is
290 11| never stop~doing such good.~ What is thy art? To be good.
291 11| if you are delighted with~what is shown on the stage, you
292 11| which came next, observe what it was,~and again, for what
293 11| what it was,~and again, for what object the new comedy was
294 11| poetry and dramaturgy, to what end does it look!~ How plain
295 11| for this is something like what the gardeners mean~when
296 11| anything nor complaining. For what evil is it to~thee, if thou
297 11| thee, if thou art now doing what is agreeable to thy own
298 11| at thy post in~order that what is for the common advantage
299 11| with thee in a fair way.- What art thou doing, man? There
300 11| will be at an end. Besides, what trouble~is there at all
301 11| contrary to nature, seek what is conformable to thy own
302 11| each thing is come, and of what it consists, and~into what
303 11| what it consists, and~into what it changes, and what kind
304 11| into what it changes, and what kind of a thing it will
305 11| against thee, consider first: What is my~relation to men, and
306 11| another.~ Second, consider what kind of men they are at
307 11| and particularly, under what compulsions in respect of~
308 11| their acts, consider with what pride they~do what they
309 11| with what pride they~do what they do.~ Third, that if
310 11| that if men do rightly what they do, we ought not to
311 11| smile and acting a part. For what will~the most violent man
312 11| all through his life. But what I have said is not enough,~
313 11| unless this also is added, what this object ought to be.

315 11| cloak and gone out, and what~Socrates said to his friends
316 11| Socrates used to say, What do you want? Souls of rational
317 11| Souls of rational men.- Of what rational men? Sound or~unsound?-
318 12| and free by itself, doing what is just and accepting what
319 12| what is just and accepting what happens~and saying the truth:
320 12| shalt strive to live only what is really thy life, that~
321 12| more respect have we to what our neighbours shall think
322 12| shall think of us than~to what we shall think of ourselves.~
323 12| practised in this.~ Consider in what condition both in body and
324 12| purposes of actions; consider what pain is, what~pleasure is,
325 12| consider what pain is, what~pleasure is, and death,
326 12| nothing else than use it.~ See what things are in themselves,
327 12| matter, form~and purpose.~ What a power man has to do nothing
328 12| has to do nothing except what God will approve, and~to
329 12| nobody.~ How ridiculous and what a stranger he is who is
330 12| must of necessity be. For what must a man~do who has such
331 12| everything always observe what the thing is which produces
