  1 1 |          friend finds fault,~even if he should find fault without
  2 1 |          all things severally, as if he had abundance of~time,
  3 1 |          had a disposition which, if opportunity had offered,
  4 1 |          been completely engaged, if~I had seen that I was making
  5 2 |         it is~not allowed; but as if thou wast now dying, despise
  6 2 |          is fixed for thee, which if thou dost~not use for clearing
  7 2 |         wilt give thyself relief, if thou doest~every act of
  8 2 |          every act of thy life as if it were the last, laying
  9 2 |         the things are, the~which if a man lays hold of, he is
 10 2 |           go away~from among men, if there are gods, is not a
 11 2 |         involve thee in evil; but if indeed they do not~exist,
 12 2 |      indeed they do not~exist, or if they have no concern about
 13 2 |        evils. And as to the rest, if there was anything evil,
 14 2 |      death is, and the fact that, if a man looks at it~in itself,
 15 2 |          operation~of nature; and if any one is afraid of an
 16 2 |      which a man can be deprived, if~it is true that this is
 17 2 |           man~cannot lose a thing if he has it not.~ Remember
 18 2 |         the use of what was said, if a man~receives what may
 19 2 |          being is~compounded. But if there is no harm to the
 20 3 |      taken~into the account, that if a man should live longer,
 21 3 |         divine and the human.~For if he shall begin to fall into
 22 3 |         far~from being beautiful, if a man should examine them
 23 3 |          please the mind; so that if a man~should have a feeling
 24 3 |           come to shore; get out. If~indeed to another life,
 25 3 |         gods, not even there.~But if to a state without sensation,
 26 3 |           things only about which~if one should suddenly ask,
 27 3 |          which thou wouldst blush if thou shouldst say that thou
 28 3 |         be~kept erect by others.~ If thou findest in human life
 29 3 |           without thy own choice; if, I say, thou seest anything
 30 3 |         found to be the best. But if nothing appears to be better
 31 3 |            and cares for mankind; if thou~findest everything
 32 3 |        place to nothing else, for if thou dost once diverge and
 33 3 |           the better.- Well then, if it is useful to thee as
 34 3 |   rational being, keep to it; but if it is only useful to thee
 35 3 |        cares not at all:~for even if he must depart immediately,
 36 3 |          he will go as readily as if he~were going to do anything
 37 3 |     ascertain the value of each.~ If thou workest at that which
 38 3 |          thy divine part pure, as if thou shouldst~be bound to
 39 3 |         give it back immediately; if thou holdest to this,~expecting
 40 3 |       hopes, come to thy own aid, if thou carest at all for~thyself,
 41 3 |         they have shut the doors. If then everything else is
 42 3 |          contrary~to justice. And if all men refuse to believe
 43 4 | transformation:~life is opinion.~ If our intellectual part is
 44 4 |       rational beings, is common: if this is so, common also
 45 4 |           do, and what not to do; if this~is so, there is a common
 46 4 |       there is a common law also; if this is so, we are~fellow-citizens;
 47 4 |           we are~fellow-citizens; if this is so, we are members
 48 4 |         some political~community; if this is so, the world is
 49 4 |          matter of necessity; and if a man will not have it so,
 50 4 |      happens, happens justly, and if~thou observest carefully,
 51 4 |           to what is just, and as if it were done by one who~
 52 4 |            to change thy opinion, if~there is any one at hand
 53 4 |         dost not thou use it? For if~this does its own work,
 54 4 |           now a~beast and an ape, if thou wilt return to thy
 55 4 |         of reason.~ Do not act as if thou wert going to live
 56 4 |           made worse than it was, if it is not~praised? Or gold,
 57 4 |        knife, a flower, a~shrub?~ If souls continue to exist,
 58 4 |     things, says the philosopher, if thou~wouldst be tranquil.-
 59 4 |           tranquil.- But consider if it would not be better to
 60 4 |         and do being unnecessary, if a man takes this away, he
 61 4 |          fraudulent, tyrannical.~ If he is a stranger to the
 62 4 |         wilt not be dissatisfied, if thou appliest~thyself to
 63 4 |    opinions, and all is well. And if that which is~nearest to
 64 4 |           not to act and speak as if we~were asleep, for even
 65 4 |          as we have been taught.~ If any god told thee that thou
 66 4 |        with terrible~insolence as if they were immortal; and
 67 5 |        Why then am I~dissatisfied if I am going to do the things
 68 5 |           lovest not thyself, for if thou didst, thou wouldst
 69 5 |           nor by their words, but if a thing is good to be done
 70 5 |       these things~long ago. Only if in truth thou canst be charged
 71 5 |       certain show of reason. But if thou wilt choose to understand
 72 5 |    everything which happens, even if it seem~disagreeable, because
 73 5 |          man what he has brought, if it~were not useful for the
 74 5 |           the~whole is mutilated, if thou cuttest off anything
 75 5 |    discouraged, nor dissatisfied, if thou dost~not succeed in
 76 5 |        back again, and be content if the~greater part of what
 77 5 |           return to philosophy~as if she were a master, but act
 78 5 |         deceives us? And consider if~magnanimity, freedom, simplicity,
 79 5 |         learn even from this. For if any man should conceive
 80 5 |          what is~really good. But if a man has first conceived
 81 5 |       wittily. Go on then and ask if we~should value and think
 82 5 |           us from saying so,~even if the universe is administered
 83 5 |           which is good. Besides, if~any of these things did
 84 5 |           in any of them be good, if indeed these~things were
 85 5 |          of harm apply this rule: if the~state is not harmed
 86 5 |          neither am I harmed. But if the state~is harmed, thou
 87 5 |          be said, and he is able, if he takes pain, to discover
 88 5 |          error, admonish him. For if he listens, thou wilt cure
 89 5 |           power to live here. But if men do not permit thee,
 90 5 |       away~out of life, yet so as if thou wert suffering no harm.
 91 5 |           to thy slaves? Consider if thou hast hitherto~behaved
 92 5 |          still detains thee here? If the objects of~sense are
 93 5 |        equable flow of happiness, if thou~canst go by the right
 94 5 |     desire find its~termination.~ If this is neither my own badness,
 95 5 |    ability and their fitness; and~if they should have sustained
 96 6 |    whether thou art cold or warm,~if thou art doing thy duty;
 97 6 |      either be reduced~to vapour, if indeed all substance is
 98 6 |         and order and providence.~If then it is the former, why
 99 6 |         happen whatever I~do. But if the other supposition is
100 6 |     continually recurring to it.~ If thou hadst a step-mother
101 6 |        price? It would be just as if a man should fall~in love
102 6 |   education and the teaching. And if this is well,~thou wilt
103 6 |          is very much the~same as if thou shouldst be grieved
104 6 |        thee did not praise thee.~ If a thing is difficult to
105 6 |           impossible for man: but if anything is possible for~
106 6 |         no~suspicion nor hatred.~ If any man is able to convince
107 6 |           so thou wilt not wonder if many more things,~or rather
108 6 |          in it at the same time.~ If any man should propose to
109 6 |      utter~each letter? What then if they grow angry, wilt thou
110 6 |          the things of a man. But if the~labour is not contrary
111 6 |        from it? Is it not strange if~the architect and the physician
112 6 |         instrument, tool, vessel, if it does that for which it
113 6 |        power, and to think, that, if thou dost live and act~according
114 6 |        must of necessity be that,~if such a bad thing befall
115 6 |         between these things. But if we judge only those things~
116 6 |        together to the same end?~ If the gods have determined
117 6 |          of their providence? But if they have not determined
118 6 |         be content with~them. But if they determine about nothing-
119 6 |          is wicked to~believe, or if we do believe it, let us
120 6 |      anything else which we do as if the gods were~present and
121 6 |    present and lived with us- but if however the gods determine
122 6 |          also as a general truth, if thou dost observe, that~
123 6 |         of justice lead that way. If however any man~by using
124 6 |        thou attainest thy object, if the things to which thou~
125 6 |          is it good for the~bee.~ If sailors abused the helmsman
126 7 |            which I ought to have. If I can, why am I~disturbed?
127 7 |       sufficient for this or not? If it is sufficient,~I use
128 7 |         the universal~nature. But if it is not sufficient, then
129 7 |      assault on a town. How then, if being lame~thou canst not
130 7 |           thou wilt come to them, if~it shall be necessary, having
131 7 |           animals, and one truth; if indeed~there is also one
132 7 |         be more apparent to thee, if thou often sayest to thyself
133 7 |           of rational beings. But if (using the~letter r) thou
134 7 |          have felt will~complain, if they choose. But I, unless
135 7 |           I must be good, just as if the~gold, or the emerald,
136 7 |         or cause itself pain. But if any one else can frighten~
137 7 |        the body itself take care,~if it can, that is suffer nothing,
138 7 |        nothing, and let it speak, if it suffers.~But the soul
139 7 |       perturbation and~unimpeded, if it does not disturb and
140 7 |          wrong. And this~happens, if when they do wrong it occurs
141 7 |           universal substance, as if it were~wax, now moulds
142 7 |           contrary to reason. For~if even the perception of doing
143 7 |           then to~pardon him. But if thou dost not think such
144 7 |           would have been sought, if thou hadst them not. At
145 7 |       them, so as to be~disturbed if ever thou shouldst not have
146 7 |         harmed by pain, let them, if~they can, give their opinion
147 7 |         is born; another dies.~ ~ If gods care not for me and
148 7 |       this: Thou sayest not well, if thou thinkest that a man
149 7 |         is really a man, consider~if this is not a thing to be
150 7 |          courses of the stars, as if thou wert going~along with
151 7 |         also at earthly things as if he viewed them from some~
152 7 |           it will ever bubble~up, if thou wilt ever dig.~ The
153 7 |           want their~approbation, if thou lookest to the sources
154 7 |      intolerable nor everlasting, if thou bearest in mind that
155 7 |       that it~has its limits, and if thou addest nothing to it
156 7 |      towards men.~ How do we know if Telauges was not superior
157 7 |         one may have great doubts if it was true. But we ought
158 7 |           Socrates possessed, and if he~was able to be content
159 7 |         tranquility of mind, even if all the world cry out against~
160 7 |          as they choose, and even if wild beasts tear in pieces~
161 7 |         by no rational~principle. If this is remembered it will
162 8 |          of life also opposes it. If then thou hast truly seen
163 8 |         to others,~and be content if thou shalt live the rest
164 8 |         then shall a man do this? If~he has principles from which
165 8 |        gone. What more do I seek, if what I am now doing is work
166 8 |       agreeable.~ Constantly and, if it be possible, on the occasion
167 8 |           about good and bad? For if with respect to~pleasure
168 8 |       wonderful or strange to me, if he does such and such~things;
169 8 |           a shame to be surprised if the fig-tree~produces figs,
170 8 |          so it is to be surprised if the world produces such
171 8 |          a shame to be surprised, if a man has a fever, or if~
172 8 |          if a man has a fever, or if~the wind is unfavourable.~
173 8 |           own~understanding too.~ If a thing is in thy own power,
174 8 |          why dost thou do it? But if it is in~the power of another,
175 8 |       Thou must blame nobody. For if thou canst,~correct that
176 8 |           which is the cause; but if thou canst not do this,~
177 8 |       least the thing itself; but if thou canst not do even this,~
178 8 |          not out of the universe. If it stays here,~it also changes
179 8 |            to~enjoy pleasure? See if common sense allows this.~
180 8 |          in every single act; and if~every act does its duty,
181 8 |           be ready to~let it go.~ If thou didst ever see a hand
182 8 |         reduced to a very little, if thou only circumscribest~
183 8 |         it, and chidest thy mind, if it is unable to hold out
184 8 |           be conscious of it?~And if the dead were conscious,
185 8 |        would they be pleased? And if they~were pleased, would
186 8 |        smell and blood in a bag.~ If thou canst see sharp, look
187 8 |          and that is temperance.~ If thou takest away thy opinion
188 8 |           not trouble itself. But if any other part of thee~suffers,
189 8 |        efforts towards an object? if indeed thou wast making
190 8 |         as a rational~animal. But if thou takest into consideration
191 8 |          is it in any way to thee if these men of after~time
192 8 |       tranquil, that is, content, if it can feel and act~conformably
193 8 |         is not proper to a stone. If then there happens to each
194 8 |        may not be borne by thee.~ If thou art pained by any external
195 8 |           this judgement now. But if anything in thy own~disposition
196 8 |  correcting thy~opinion? And even if thou art pained because
197 8 |           not worth while to live if this~cannot be done.- Take
198 8 |         is satisfied with itself, if it does nothing which~it
199 8 |       does not choose to do, even if it resist from mere obstinacy.~
200 8 |           carpenter~and shoemaker if thou didst find fault because
201 8 |        sober, just? For instance, if a man should stand by a
202 8 |     sending up~potable water; and if he should cast clay into
203 8 |         kind of~a thing a ray is, if he looks at the sun's light
204 8 |       itself of the illumination, if it does not~admit it.~ He
205 8 |  different~kind of sensation. But if thou shalt have no sensation,
206 8 |           thou feel any harm; and if thou shalt acquire another
207 9 |         out of this~envelope. But if thou requirest also a vulgar
208 9 |           this is the only thing, if there be any, which could
209 9 |         thou wilt see~what I say, if thou only observest. Sooner,
210 9 |     seasons each produces it. But if usage has especially fixed
211 9 |           kind as reason itself.~ If thou art able, correct by
212 9 |           those who do wrong; but if~thou canst not, remember
213 9 |        every separate effect, and if this is so, be thou~content
214 9 |           all things.- In a~word, if there is a god, all is well;
215 9 |           a god, all is well; and if chance rules, do not thou~
216 9 |         these again for ever. For if a man reflects on~the changes
217 9 |            Set thyself in motion, if it is in thy power, and~
218 9 |        not look about thee to see if any one will observe it;
219 9 |          Republic: but be content if the smallest thing goes~
220 9 |       themselves accordingly. But if~they acted like tragedy
221 9 |          hundred years or three.~ If any man has done wrong,
222 9 |         power or they have power. If, then, they~have no power,
223 9 |       dost thou pray to them? But if they have power, why~dost
224 9 |          or happen? for~certainly if they can co-operate with
225 9 |       putting on solemn looks,~as if they were doing something
226 9 |          he did both in sickness, if thou~art sick, and in any
227 9 |         or what is there strange, if the man who has not~been
228 9 |           be paid for~it? Just as if the eye demanded a recompense
229 10|         then do it and accept it, if thy nature, so far as thou~
230 10|        thou mayest allow thyself, if thy~nature, so far as thou
231 10|      formed by nature to~bear it. If, then, it happens to thee
232 10|         by nature to bear it. But if it happens in such wise
233 10|          or thy duty to do this.~ If a man is mistaken, instruct
234 10|           show him his error.~But if thou art not able, blame
235 10|         is~injurious to the part, if it is for the advantage
236 10|           from the contrary. Now, if these things are done so,
237 10|          must undergo change. But if~this is naturally both an
238 10|       indeed, are incredible. But if a man~should even drop the
239 10|          be surprised or~vexed as if something were happening
240 10|           change these names; and if thou shouldst lose them,
241 10|       death, and all such things. If, then, thou~maintainest
242 10|           of these~few names: and if thou art able to abide in
243 10|           abide in them, abide as if thou~wast removed to certain
244 10|         islands of the Happy. But if thou shalt~perceive that
245 10|           will greatly help thee, if thou~rememberest the gods,
246 10|         made like themselves; and if thou~rememberest that what
247 10|            Are not~these robbers, if thou examinest their opinions?~
248 10|        what ought to be done? And if thou seest clear, go by
249 10|         without turning back: but if thou dost not see clear,
250 10|       take the best advisers. But if any other things oppose
251 10|         to reach this object, and~if thou dost fail, let thy
252 10|           any difference to thee, if another does what is just
253 10|          man lives there or~here, if he lives everywhere in the
254 10|        lives~according to nature. If they cannot endure him,
255 10|            pause and~ask thyself, if death is a dreadful thing
256 10|         quickly~forget thy anger, if this consideration also
257 10|        what else could he do? or, if thou art able, take~away
258 10|        nothing at all; especially if thou reflectest at the same
259 10|        reason allow thee to live,~if thou art not such.~ What
260 10|         any harm~of any kind; for if they did, he who felt it
261 10|          man~becomes both better, if one may say so, and more
262 10|           are they who cry~out as if they were worthy of credit
263 10|        and~pursuest all things as if they would be eternal. A
264 10|          on the other hand not as if thou wast torn away; but~
265 10|   persuasion, this is life, this, if~one may so say, is man.
266 11|       whole action is incomplete,~if anything cuts it short;
267 11|           who is~forty years old, if he has any understanding
268 11|       dancing and the~pancratium, if thou wilt distribute the
269 11|           ask thyself as to each, if thou art mastered by~this;
270 11|         in~the matter of dancing, if at each movement and attitude
271 11|           that is which is ready, if at any moment it must be~
272 11|           to happen so, and that, if you are delighted with~what
273 11|                Me and my children if the gods neglect,~ This
274 11|       make up~the whole. However, if it often happens, this kind
275 11|         the nature of things. But if this is so, that nature
276 11|     justice will not be observed, if we~either care for middle
277 11|         careless and changeable.~ If the things do not come to
278 11|          what evil is it to~thee, if thou art now doing what
279 11|        this power is in the soul, if it be~indifferent to things
280 11|           it will be~indifferent, if it looks on each of these
281 11|  separately and all~together, and if it remembers that not one
282 11|        and it being in our power, if perchance these~judgements
283 11|      minds, to wipe them~out; and if we remember also that such
284 11|         at all in doing this? For if these things are according
285 11|         will be easy to thee: but if~contrary to nature, seek
286 11|         strive towards this, even if it bring no reputation;
287 11|         it will sustain no harm.~ If any have offended against
288 11|      first~principles, from this: If all things are not mere
289 11|          which orders all things: if this is so, the inferior
290 11|        what they do.~ Third, that if men do rightly what they
291 11|         not to be~displeased; but if they do not right, it is
292 11|         man like others; and even if thou dost abstain from certain~
293 11|         judgement about an act as if it were~something grievous,
294 11|        disposition is invincible, if it be~genuine, and not an
295 11|           violent man do to thee, if thou continuest to be of
296 11|      disposition towards him, and if, as opportunity offers,
297 11|           in thy soul; and not as if thou wert lecturing him,
298 11|      either when he is alone, and if~others are present...~ Remember
299 11|     Remember these nine rules, as if thou hadst received them
300 11|     wounded and both submit.~ But if thou wilt, receive also
301 11|  expresses any work of nature; or if it is so, it is also a word
302 12|        road, thou canst have now, if thou dost not refuse them
303 12|          thyself.~And this means, if thou wilt take no notice
304 12|           part will look to this. If then, whatever the time
305 12|         divinity~within thee, and if thou shalt be afraid not
306 12|           time cease to live, but if thou shalt fear never to
307 12|      things which happen daily as if they~were something unexpected,
308 12|    himself into these bodies. And if thou also usest~thyself
309 12|         properly thine. Therefore if thou shalt separate from~
310 12|     happens~and saying the truth: if thou wilt separate, I say,
311 12|       joyous rest reposing;~ ~and if thou shalt strive to live
312 12|         on the opinion of others. If then a god or a wise~teacher
313 12|     completely~extinguished?~ But if this is so, be assured that
314 12|       this is so, be assured that if it ought to have been~otherwise,
315 12|           would have done it. For if it were just, it~would also
316 12|       would also be possible; and if it were according to nature,
317 12|         But because it is not so, if in fact it is not~so, be
318 12|     excellent and most just;- but if this is so, they would not~
319 12|     without a director~(Book IV). If then there is an invincible
320 12|         why dost thou~resist? But if there is a Providence which
321 12|         help of the divinity. But if~there is a confusion without
322 12|     ruling intelligence. And even~if the tempest carry thee away,
323 12|           say,~How then do I know if this is a wrongful act?
324 12|          a wrongful act? And even if he has~done wrong, how do
325 12|         who has such a character? If then thou art irritable,
326 12|          this~man's disposition.~ If it is not right, do not
327 12|          not right, do not do it: if it is not true, do not say~
328 12|          acts, which is our life, if it cease at its proper time,
329 12|     things it is resolved. Third, if thou~shouldst suddenly be
