  1 1 |        showing~myself off as a man who practises much discipline,
  2 1 |          and with respect to those who have~offended me by words,
  3 1 |            give my assent~to those who talk overmuch; and I am
  4 1 |           had before my eyes a man who clearly considered his~experience
  5 1 |        ignorant persons, and~those who form opinions without consideration:
  6 1 |          highly venerated by those who associated with him: and
  7 1 |     reproachful way to chide those who uttered any barbarous or~
  8 1 |           generally those among us who are~called Patricians are
  9 1 |            the appearance of a man who could not be diverted from
 10 1 |         right~rather than of a man who had been improved. I observed,
 11 1 |       readiness to listen to~those who had anything to propose
 12 1 |          he went abroad, and those who had~failed to accompany
 13 1 |            this, he honoured those who were true philosophers,
 14 1 |          he did not~reproach those who pretended to be philosophers,
 15 1 |          body's health, not as one who was greatly attached to
 16 1 |          way without envy to those who possessed any~particular
 17 1 |           things, for he was~a man who looked to what ought to
 18 1 |         toll-collector at Tusculum who asked his pardon; and such
 19 1 |         other is the mark of a man who has a perfect and~invincible
 20 1 |            to a ruler and a father who was able to take away all~
 21 1 |          giving me such a brother, who was~able by his moral character
 22 1 |         vigilance over myself,~and who, at the same time, pleased
 23 1 |          made haste to~place those who brought me up in the station
 24 2 |            is~good and evil. But I who have seen the nature of
 25 2 |        ugly, and the nature of him who~does wrong, that it is akin
 26 2 |      require nothing more from him who observes these things.~
 27 2 |         For those too are triflers who have wearied~themselves
 28 2 |           to be unhappy; but those who do not observe the~movements
 29 2 |           and that there is no one~who hinders thee from always
 30 2 |    committed through~anger. For he who is excited by anger seems
 31 2 |    unconscious contraction; but he who offends~through desire,
 32 2 |          one is more like a person who has been~first wronged and
 33 2 |            observe. To observe too who these are whose opinions
 34 2 |           more wretched than a man who traverses everything in
 35 2 |           the longest liver and he who will die soonest lose just
 36 2 |          as are the souls of~those who are angry. In the third
 37 3 |         every man, but to him only who has become truly familiar~
 38 3 |           in~thy mind. For the man who is such and no longer delays
 39 3 |          in the noblest fight, one who~cannot be overpowered by
 40 3 |          of all, but of those only who confessedly live according~
 41 3 |            nature. But as to those who live not so, he always bears
 42 3 |          and a Roman, and a ruler, who has~taken his post like
 43 3 |         walls and curtains: for he who has preferred to everything~
 44 3 |     community.~ In the mind of one who is chastened and purified
 45 3 |            one may say of an actor~who leaves the stage before
 46 3 |   succession of poor human beings, who will very soon die, and
 47 3 |            will very soon die, and who~know not even themselves,
 48 3 |          themselves, much less him who died long ago.~ To the aids
 49 3 |        what with reference to man, who is a citizen of the highest~
 50 3 |           kinsman and partner, one who knows not however~what is
 51 3 |         happy. And there is no~man who is able to prevent this.~
 52 3 |          to wild~beasts and to men who have made themselves into
 53 3 |     suitable belongs also to those who do not~believe in the gods,
 54 3 |           believe in the gods, and who betray their country, and
 55 4 |         want of judgement in those who pretend to give~praise,
 56 4 |            kind of people are they who will praise thee.~ This
 57 4 |          as if it were done by one who~assigns to each thing its
 58 4 |        opinion of things as he has who does thee wrong,~or such
 59 4 |           there is any one at hand who sets thee right and moves
 60 4 |         How much trouble he avoids who does not look to see what
 61 4 |     without~deviating from it.~ He who has a vehement desire for
 62 4 |            that every one of those who remember him will himself
 63 4 |         soon; then again also they who have succeeded them, until
 64 4 |            transmitted~through men who foolishly admire and perish.
 65 4 |             But suppose that those~who will remember are even immortal,
 66 4 |        contain the bodies of those who~have been buried from time
 67 4 |      buried in the bodies of those who feed on them! And~nevertheless
 68 4 |        suits thee, the life of him who~is satisfied with his portion
 69 4 |           stranger to the universe who does not know what is in
 70 4 |           no less is he a stranger who does not know what is going
 71 4 |            in it.~He is a runaway, who flies from social reason;
 72 4 |        social reason; he is blind, who~shuts the eyes of the understanding;
 73 4 |         understanding; he is poor, who has need of~another, and
 74 4 |            abscess on the universe who withdraws and separates~
 75 4 |            asunder~from the state, who tears his own soul from
 76 4 |          the rest of life like one who has~intrusted to the gods
 77 4 |            also~the names of those who were famed of old, are now
 78 4 |            And I say this of those who have~shone in a wondrous
 79 4 |       which happens equally to him who lives contrary to nature
 80 4 |      contrary to nature and to him~who lives according to nature,
 81 4 |    reversely. And think too of him~who forgets whither the way
 82 4 |           ought not, like children who learn from their parents,
 83 4 |    thousands; and how many~tyrants who have used their power over
 84 4 |           is ripe, blessing nature who produced it, and thanking
 85 4 |            to pass in review those who have tenaciously stuck to
 86 4 |        have they gained than those who have died early? Certainly~
 87 4 |            any one else like them, who have carried out~many to
 88 4 |         the difference~between him who lives three days and him
 89 4 |           lives three days and him who lives three generations?~
 90 5 |            and her will. But those who love their several arts
 91 5 |          man then be one of these, who in a manner act thus~without
 92 5 |           as it is. And~even those who are completely ignorant
 93 5 |         master, but act like those who have sore eyes and~apply
 94 5 |   changeable; for where is the man~who never changes? Carry thy
 95 5 |        turn to the morals of those who live with thee, and it is
 96 5 |        daemon: for~there is no man who will compel me to this.~
 97 5 |          be~aptly applied- that he who has them, through pure abundance
 98 5 |      change I too exist, and those who begot me, and so on for~
 99 5 |            man be~worthy of praise who showed that he did not want
100 5 |         these things, nor~would he who stinted himself in any of
101 5 |         must not be angry with him who does harm to the state.~
102 5 |          How then is he~not a fool who is puffed up with such things
103 5 |            does live with the gods who constantly~shows to them,
104 5 |       children, teachers, to those who looked after thy infancy,
105 5 |         ignorant souls disturb him who has skill and~knowledge?
106 6 |           firm,~and I trust in him who governs.~ When thou hast
107 6 |           which are admired by men who are a little~more reasonable
108 6 |           which are admired by~men who are still more instructed
109 6 |           number of~slaves. But he who values rational soul, a
110 6 | co-operates to this end with those~who are of the same kind as
111 6 |          and both the vine-planter who looks after the vine, and~
112 6 |          the horse-breaker, and he who trains the dog, seek this
113 6 |            and suspicious of those who can take away those~things,
114 6 |             and plot against those who have that which is valued
115 6 |            a state of perturbation~who wants any of these things;
116 6 |         They will not praise those who are living~at the same time
117 6 |           be grieved because those who have lived~before thee did
118 6 |      overlook~many things in those who are like antagonists in
119 6 |         injured. But he is injured who abides in his error and~
120 6 |        showing anger towards those who are angry with thee to go~
121 6 |         and~how he bore with those who blamed him unjustly without
122 6 |         freedom of speech in those who opposed his~opinions; and
123 6 |           a certain point to those who are not skilled in their~
124 6 |          of the~source of all.~ He who has seen present things
125 6 |          made, is well, and yet he who made it is not there. But
126 6 |            and hate men too, those who are the cause of~the misfortune
127 6 |   misfortune or the loss, or those who are suspected of being likely~
128 6 |            is Heraclitus, I think, who says that they~are labourers
129 6 |       those co-operate abundantly, who find fault with what happens
130 6 |        with what happens and~those who try to oppose it and to
131 6 |            placest thyself; for he who rules~all things will certainly
132 6 |            of the virtues of~those who live with thee; for instance,
133 6 |   exhibited in the morals of those who live~with us and present
134 6 |        moved are accomplished.~ He who loves fame considers another
135 6 |            be his own~good; and he who loves pleasure, his own
136 6 |         his own sensations; but he who has~understanding, considers
137 6 |     jaundiced or the poison in him who~is bitten by a mad dog?~
138 7 |           work and give way to him who is able to do it better,
139 7 |          taking to help me the man who with the aid of my ruling
140 7 |          to~oblivion; and how many who have celebrated the fame
141 7 |            all things, and~one God who pervades all things, and
142 7 |          to man to love even those who do wrong. And this~happens,
143 7 |            be well disposed to him who is in error.~ Think not
144 7 |         Look at the minds of those who seek fame, observe what~
145 7 |        after.~ From Plato: The man who has an elevated mind and
146 7 |           thou thinkest that a man who is good~for anything at
147 7 |          such a time, at least one who is really a man, consider~
148 7 |           saying of Plato: That he who is discoursing about men~
149 7 |          to behave justly to those~who are about thee, and to exert
150 7 |        foreign to nature, to~those who cause them and those who
151 7 |           who cause them and those who are moved by them? And why
152 7 |    unexpected.~ Constantly observe who those are whose approbation
153 7 |           wilt~neither blame those who offend involuntarily, nor
154 7 |           the hypocrite.~ The gods who are immortal are not vexed
155 7 |        them in all~ways. But thou, who art destined to end so soon,
156 8 |            a social being, and one who is under the~same law with
157 8 |          opinion and to follow him who corrects~thy error is as
158 8 |     continuance, just like the man who throws up a ball.~What good
159 8 |             and the third to those who live~with thee.~ Pain is
160 8 |         himself, as far as he can, who is not content with what
161 8 |     standest in perfect security.- Who is this~self?- The reason.-
162 8 |         time to thyself: for those who~rather pursue posthumous
163 8 |       disposition gives thee pain, who hinders thee from correcting
164 8 |       contentedly, just~as he dies who is in full activity, and
165 8 |           be inexpugnable. He then who has~not seen this is an
166 8 |            an ignorant man; but he who has seen it and does~not
167 8 |          add something,~like a man who knows everything that happens
168 8 |         wilt be ridiculed by a man who~is acquainted with nature,
169 8 |        simplicity and modesty.~ He who does not know what the world
170 8 |           know where he is.~And he who does not know for what purpose
171 8 |        world exists, does not~know who he is, nor what the world
172 8 |          what the world is. But he who has failed in any~one of
173 8 |        then dost thou think of him who avoids or seeks the~praise
174 8 |          seeks the~praise of those who applaud, of men who know
175 8 |          those who applaud, of men who know not either where they
176 8 |           either where they are~or who they are?~ Dost thou wish
177 8 |        wish to be praised by a man who curses himself thrice~every
178 8 |          thou wish to please a man who does not please~himself?
179 8 |          Does a man please himself who repents of nearly everything~
180 8 |        pervades all things for him~who is willing to draw it to
181 8 |           the aerial power for him who~is able to respire it.~
182 8 |          It is~only harmful to him who has it in his power to be
183 8 |          it does not~admit it.~ He who fears death either fears

186 9 |       highest divinity. And he too who lies is guilty of impiety~
187 9 |      things that are true. He then who~lies intentionally is guilty
188 9 |          by deceiving; and he also who lies unintentionally, inasmuch

195 9 |     continuous series and to those who come~after them by virtue

198 9 |           the discordance of those~who live together, so that thou
199 9 |          should forget myself.~ He who does wrong does wrong against
200 9 |          wrong against himself. He who acts unjustly~acts unjustly
201 9 |             He often acts unjustly who does not do a certain thing;
202 9 |         certain thing; not only~he who does a certain thing.~ Thy

206 9 |           wretched, nor yet as one who would be~pitied or admired:
207 9 |          are all these poor~people who are engaged in matters political,

235 10|          is a runaway. And he also who is grieved~or angry or afraid,

239 10|           Like this pig also is he who on his bed in silence laments
240 10|       altogether in thy power. For who is he that shall hinder
241 10|            what luxury is to those who enjoy~pleasure, such shall
242 10|          kind; for if they did, he who felt it would immediately~
243 10|    remember that~nothing harms him who is really a citizen, which

249 10|           for~which there are many who wish to get rid of us. Thou

256 11|           from their post,~the man who does it through fear, and

258 11|          who is alienated from~him who is by nature a kinsman and
259 11|        unsound and insincere is he who says, I have determined
260 11|            in his eyes, just as he who is~beloved forthwith reads
261 11|            eyes of lovers. The man~who is honest and good ought
262 11|           to be exactly like a man who smells~strong, so that the

265 11|           courage, and not the man who is subject to fits of passion
266 11|           so~also is anger. For he who yields to pain and he who
