  1 2 |         principles~be enough for thee, let them always be fixed
  2 2 |       limit of time is fixed for thee, which if thou dost~not
  3 2 |          which has been given to thee. Thou seest how few the
  4 2 |         external which fall upon thee distract thee? Give~thyself
  5 2 |          fall upon thee distract thee? Give~thyself time to learn
  6 2 |      there is no one~who hinders thee from always doing and saying
  7 2 |        the gods will not involve thee in evil; but if indeed they
  8 3 |         plain that everything in thee is~simple and benevolent,
  9 3 |        let the deity which~is in thee be the guardian of a living
 10 3 |          things which it enables thee to do~according to right
 11 3 |    condition that is assigned to~thee without thy own choice;
 12 3 |        deity which is planted in thee, which has subjected to
 13 3 |         then, if it is useful to thee as a~rational being, keep
 14 3 |          if it is only useful to thee as an~animal, say so, and
 15 3 |       thyself which shall compel~thee to break thy promise, to
 16 3 |      thing which is~presented to thee, so as to see distinctly
 17 3 |     object which is presented to thee in~life, and always to look
 18 3 |          at that which is before thee, following right reason~
 19 3 |        anything else to~distract thee, but keeping thy divine
 20 3 |       end which thou hast before thee, and throwing~away idle
 21 4 |          completely,~and to send thee back free from all discontent
 22 4 |        that which is assigned to thee~out of the universe.- Recall
 23 4 |    things will still fasten upon thee.- Consider then further~
 24 4 |         called fame will torment thee.- See how soon~everything
 25 4 |         are they who will praise thee.~ This then remains: Remember
 26 4 |        things as he has who does thee wrong,~or such as he wishes
 27 4 |      wrong,~or such as he wishes thee to have, but look at them
 28 4 |         any one at hand who sets thee right and moves thee from
 29 4 |        sets thee right and moves thee from any~opinion. But this
 30 4 | disappear in that which~produced thee; but rather thou shalt be
 31 4 |          years. Death~hangs over thee. While thou livest, while
 32 4 |   immortal, what then is this to thee? And I say not what is it
 33 4 |           which is harmonious to thee, O~Universe. Nothing for
 34 4 |         which is in due~time for thee. Everything is fruit to
 35 4 |    seasons bring, O~Nature: from thee are all things, in thee
 36 4 |          thee are all things, in thee are all things, to thee~
 37 4 |          thee are all things, to thee~all things return. The poet
 38 4 |       life of the good man suits thee, the life of him who~is
 39 4 |         Has anything happened to thee?~Well; out of the universe
 40 4 |      apportioned and spun out to thee. In a word, thy life~is
 41 4 |         certain order subsist in thee, and~disorder in the All?
 42 4 |  produces this, and has produced thee too: he is a piece rent
 43 4 |         pursue.~ What is evil to thee does not subsist in the
 44 4 |      then? It is in that part of thee in which~subsists the power
 45 4 |         taught.~ If any god told thee that thou shalt die to-morrow,
 46 4 |         And does a thing seem to thee to be a~deviation from man'
 47 4 |       which has happened prevent thee from being just, magnanimous,~
 48 4 |       falsehood; will it prevent thee from having modesty, freedom,
 49 4 |       every occasion which leads thee to~vexation to apply this
 50 4 |         immensity of~time behind thee, and to the time which is
 51 4 |         the time which is before thee, another~boundless space.
 52 5 |          to nature to be fit~for thee; and be not diverted by
 53 5 |          consider it unworthy of thee. For those persons have~
 54 5 |         to be good, be judged by thee to be of the same kind as
 55 5 |       with~that which happens to thee; the one, because it was
 56 5 |          because it was done for thee~and prescribed for thee,
 57 5 |          thee~and prescribed for thee, and in a manner had reference
 58 5 |          manner had reference to thee,~originally from the most
 59 5 |    morals of those who live with thee, and it is hardly~possible
 60 5 |   consider this which is near to thee, this boundless abyss of
 61 5 |    interval has been assigned to thee; and of that which is fixed
 62 5 |         good will this danger do thee? He has~such a mouth, he
 63 5 |       wherein he~offends- I wish thee well of thy discovery. Well
 64 5 |         But if men do not permit thee, then get away~out of life,
 65 5 |         that this may be said of thee:~ ~ Never has wronged a
 66 5 |        there which still detains thee here? If the objects of~
 67 6 |         it make no difference to thee whether thou art cold or
 68 6 |    anything nor its~value escape thee.~ All existing things soon
 69 6 |         and philosophy now be~to thee step-mother and mother:
 70 6 |          in the court~appears to thee tolerable, and thou appearest
 71 6 |        it is then that it cheats thee most. Consider then~what
 72 6 |          that which is valued by~thee. Of necessity a man must
 73 6 |    honour thy own mind will make thee~content with thyself, and
 74 6 |      those who have lived~before thee did not praise thee.~ If
 75 6 |       before thee did not praise thee.~ If a thing is difficult
 76 6 |      suppose that a man has torn thee with his~nails, and by dashing
 77 6 |        any man should propose to thee the question, how the name~
 78 6 |         those who are angry with thee to go~on thy way and finish
 79 6 |         that which is set before thee.~ How cruel it is not to
 80 6 |        philosophy wished to~make thee. Reverence the gods, and
 81 6 |       only~dreams which troubled thee, now in thy waking hours
 82 6 |          these (the~things about thee) as thou didst look at those (
 83 6 |          its will, everything in thee is in conformity to~intelligence.
 84 6 |     shalt~suppose to be good for thee or evil, it must of necessity
 85 6 |          such a bad thing befall thee or the loss of such a good
 86 6 |       these. It remains then for thee to understand~among what
 87 6 |    certainly make a right use of thee, and he will~receive thee
 88 6 |        thee, and he will~receive thee among some part of the co-operators
 89 6 |       nor bad.~ As it happens to thee in the amphitheatre and
 90 6 |   virtues of~those who live with thee; for instance, the activity
 91 6 |       which has been assigned to~thee, so be content with the
 92 6 |         dog?~ No man will hinder thee from living according to
 93 6 |           nothing will happen to thee contrary to the reason of~
 94 7 |        not future things disturb thee, for thou wilt come to them,
 95 7 |        be necessary, having with thee the same reason which now
 96 7 |         will~be more apparent to thee, if thou often sayest to
 97 7 | beneficence does not yet delight thee for its~own sake; thou still
 98 7 |  imagination? Go away, I entreat thee by~the gods, as thou didst
 99 7 |      thou didst come, for I want thee not. But thou art come~according
100 7 |     fashion. I am not angry with thee: only go away.~ Is any man
101 7 |        the same thought occur to~thee with reference to every
102 7 |        near the~forgetfulness of thee by all.~ It is peculiar
103 7 |       they do wrong it occurs to thee that they are~kinsmen, and
104 7 |          the wrong-doer~has done thee no harm, for he has not
105 7 |        new.~ When a man has done thee any wrong, immediately consider
106 7 |      well what happens either to thee or~to another. Divide and
107 7 |    justly to those~who are about thee, and to exert thy skill
108 7 |    examined.~ Do not look around thee to discover other men's
109 7 |       this, to what nature leads thee, both the~universal nature
110 7 |       the things which happen to thee, and thy~own nature through
111 7 |       acts which must be done by thee. But every~being ought to
112 7 |       remainder which~is allowed thee.~ Love that only which happens
113 7 |       that only which happens to thee and is spun with the thread~
114 7 |       the things~which happen to thee? For then thou wilt use
115 7 |      they~will be a material for thee to work on. Only attend
116 7 |      this remark of Epicurus aid thee, that pain is~neither intolerable
117 7 |           as not to have allowed thee the power of circumscribing~
118 7 |        the world cry out against~thee as much as they choose,
119 7 |    matter which has grown around thee. For~what hinders the mind
120 7 |          remembered it will make thee more tranquil in~many things.~
121 8 |         it is no~longer easy for thee to get the reputation of
122 8 |        let nothing else~distract thee; for thou hast had experience
123 8 |         and speak as~it seems to thee most just, only let it be
124 8 |       Let no man any longer hear thee finding fault with the court
125 8 |       this,~of what use is it to thee to find fault? For nothing
126 8 |       the matter which is before thee, whether it is an~opinion
127 8 |          three relations between thee and other things: the one~
128 8 |         the body which surrounds thee; the second to the divine
129 8 |     third to those who live~with thee.~ Pain is either an evil
130 8 |         no one~is able to hinder thee so that each act shall not
131 8 |        is immediately~put before thee in place of that which was
132 8 |          mayest expect to befall thee: but on every occasion ask
133 8 |        future nor the past pains thee, but only the present.~But
134 8 |       that which appears to give~thee pain, thou thyself standest
135 8 |         But if any other part of thee~suffers, let it have its
136 8 |         sensuous pleasure~affect thee? The senses will look to
137 8 |         Has any obstacle opposed~thee in thy efforts towards an
138 8 |      this obstacle is an evil to thee considered as a rational~
139 8 |         what is it in any way to thee if these men of after~time
140 8 |       this or that opinion about~thee?~ Take me and cast me where
141 8 |        which may not be borne by thee.~ If thou art pained by
142 8 |         this thing~that disturbs thee, but thy own judgement about
143 8 |        thy own~disposition gives thee pain, who hinders thee from
144 8 |     gives thee pain, who hinders thee from correcting thy~opinion?
145 8 |  particular thing which seems to thee to be right, why dost thou
146 8 |        being done~depends not on thee.- But it is not worth while
147 8 |          it has been reported to thee that a certain~person speaks
148 8 |     certain~person speaks ill of thee. This has been reported;
149 8 |          then nothing happens to thee. Or rather add something,~
150 8 |            Suppose that men kill thee, cut thee in pieces, curse
151 8 |          that men kill thee, cut thee in pieces, curse thee. What~
152 8 |        cut thee in pieces, curse thee. What~then can these things
153 8 |          the air which~surrounds thee, but let thy intelligence
154 9 |       not experience yet induced thee to fly~from this pestilence?
155 9 |      that indulgence is given to thee for this~purpose. And the
156 9 |        also; or say, who hinders~thee?~ Labour not as one who
157 9 |       this.~ When another blames thee or hates thee, or when men
158 9 |     another blames thee or hates thee, or when men say about thee~
159 9 |      thee, or when men say about thee~anything injurious, approach
160 9 |       this or that~opinion about thee. However thou must be well
161 9 |     power, and~do not look about thee to see if any one will observe
162 9 |        those who will live after thee, and the~life now lived
163 9 |         perhaps now~are praising thee will very soon blame thee,
164 9 |        thee will very soon blame thee, and that neither a~posthumous
165 9 |        among those~which disturb thee, for they lie entirely in
166 9 |          in this? What unsettles thee? Is~it the form of the thing?
167 9 |        not pray for them to give thee the faculty of not fearing~
168 9 |          power? And who has told thee that the gods do not aid
169 9 |         cases it is possible for thee to correct by teaching~the
170 9 |        but that~which is evil to thee and harmful has its foundation
171 9 |       For thou hadst means given~thee by thy reason to suppose
172 10|         the body which surrounds thee? Wilt thou~never enjoy an
173 10|   pleased with all that is~about thee, and wilt thou convince
174 10|      that everything is well for thee, and~will be well whatever
175 10|          If, then, it happens to thee in such way as thou art
176 10|     perish after it has consumed thee. Remember, however, that
177 10|           Whatever may happen to thee, it was prepared for thee
178 10|        thee, it was prepared for thee from all~eternity; and the
179 10|          the airy part belong to thee from the time of~generation.
180 10|         brought forth implicates thee very much with that other
181 10|     things which are assigned to thee by the common nature; and
182 10|      names, it will greatly help thee, if thou~rememberest the
183 10|          any other things oppose thee, go on~according to thy
184 10|      will make any difference to thee, if another does what is
185 10|          little which remains to thee of life. Live as on a~mountain.
186 10|          this always be plain to thee, that this piece of land
187 10|        thing because it deprives thee~of this.~ When thou art
188 10|          s power to say truly of thee that thou~art not simple
189 10|      anything of this kind about thee; and this is~altogether
190 10|          is he that shall hinder thee from~being good and simple?
191 10|        neither does reason allow thee to live,~if thou art not
192 10|       pleasure, such shall be to thee, in the matter which is
193 10|       subjected~and presented to thee, the doing of the things
194 10|         and him who has attended thee to thy~grave another soon
195 10|         to be, for~nature united thee to them and associated thee.
196 10|      thee to them and associated thee. But does she now~dissolve
197 10|       the~vessel which surrounds thee and these instruments which
198 11|         will not be able to turn thee aside from~thy proper action,
199 11|        so neither let them drive thee from thy~benevolent feelings
200 11|      hinder~or otherwise trouble thee. For this also is a weakness,
201 11|        the things do not come to thee, the pursuits and avoidances
202 11|      avoidances of~which disturb thee, still in a manner thou
203 11|           For what evil is it to~thee, if thou art now doing what
204 11|          determined to~deal with thee in a fair way.- What art
205 11|         and they will be easy to thee: but if~contrary to nature,
206 11|        any have offended against thee, consider first: What is
207 11|          another~brings shame on thee: for unless that which is
208 11|       the most violent man do to thee, if thou continuest to be
209 11|          when~he is trying to do thee harm, saying, Not so, my
210 11|         this truth be~present to thee in the excitement of anger,
211 11|         to expect them not to~do thee any wrong, is irrational
212 11|          the diviner part within thee being overpowered and~yielding
213 11|       parts which are mingled in thee,~though by nature they have
214 11|      whole of the earthy part in~thee and the watery, though their
215 11|           free speech is not for thee.~ And my heart laughed within.~
216 12|         lot which is assigned to thee, for nature designed it
217 12|       for nature designed it for~thee and thee for it. Conformably
218 12|         designed it for~thee and thee for it. Conformably to justice,
219 12|          man's wickedness hinder thee, nor opinion nor voice,~
220 12|      flesh which has grown about thee;~for the passive part will
221 12|          and the divinity~within thee, and if thou shalt be afraid
222 12|      universe~which has produced thee, and thou wilt cease to
223 12|   whatever future~things trouble thee because they may happen,
224 12|          the~body which envelops thee or in the breath (life),
225 12|         the body, is attached to thee independent of thy will,~
226 12|        of life~which remains for thee up to the time of thy death,
227 12|        to the god~that is within thee).~ I have often wondered
228 12|        even~if the tempest carry thee away, let it carry away
229 12|      shall the truth which is in thee and~justice and temperance
230 12|      thing is which produces for~thee an appearance, and resolve
231 12|        at last that thou hast in thee something better and more~
232 12|     affects, and as it were~pull thee by the strings. What is
233 12|    respect to what may happen to~thee from without, consider that
234 12|          saved. Who then hinders thee from~casting it away?~ When
235 12|       wrongful act is nothing to thee; and~further thou hast forgotten
