1 1 | hearer, first of~Bacchius, then of Tandasis and Marcianus;
2 1 | after, because they were then still young; that I knew~
3 2 | act~against one another then is contrary to nature; and
4 2 | again sucked in.~The third then is the ruling part: consider
5 2 | to be~whirled around. But then thou must also avoid being
6 2 | in his offences. Rightly then,~and in a way worthy of
7 2 | imagination~in it, he will then consider it to be nothing
8 2 | from him? These two~things then thou must bear in mind;
9 2 | after-fame is oblivion. What then is that~which is able to
10 3 | extinguished. We must make haste then, not only~because we are
11 3 | the deaths of many, and then fate caught them~too. Alexander,
12 3 | own ruling power. We ought then to check~in the series of
13 3 | which others give. A man then must stand erect, not be~
14 3 | useful is the better.- Well then, if it is useful to thee
15 3 | the gods.~ Throwing away then all things, hold to these
16 3 | or it is uncertain. Short then is the time which every
17 3 | for thy old age.~Hasten then to the end which thou hast
18 3 | have shut the doors. If then everything else is common~
19 4 | of the mind. Constantly then~give to thyself this retreat,
20 4 | fasten upon thee.- Consider then further~that the mind mingles
21 4 | will praise thee.~ This then remains: Remember to retire
22 4 | Take away thy opinion, and then there is taken away the
23 4 | thing its value. Observe then as thou hast begun;~and
24 4 | thou reason? I have.- Why then dost not thou use it? For
25 4 | himself also die very~soon; then again also they who have
26 4 | remembrance will~be immortal, what then is this to thee? And I say
27 4 | of itself. Neither~worse then nor better is a thing made
28 4 | counsulship, kingly power. Well then, that life of these people
29 4 | after~also Scipio and Cato, then Augustus, then also Hadrian
30 4 | and Cato, then Augustus, then also Hadrian and~Antoninus.
31 4 | remembrance? A mere~nothing. What then is that about which we ought
32 4 | corporeal~covering. Where is it then? It is in that part of thee
33 4 | about evils. Let this power~then not form such opinions,
34 4 | be a mummy or~ashes. Pass then through this little space
35 4 | on such an occasion. Why~then is that rather a misfortune
36 4 | the will of nature. Will then this~which has happened
37 4 | stuck to life. What~more then have they gained than those
38 4 | out~many to be buried, and then were carried out themselves.
39 4 | laboriously passed. Do not then~consider life a thing of
40 4 | space. In this infinity then what is the difference~between
41 5 | work of a human being. Why then am I~dissatisfied if I am
42 5 | pleasant.- Dost thou exist then to take thy pleasure, and
43 5 | nature. Show those qualities then which~are altogether in
44 5 | grapes in~season.- Must a man then be one of these, who in
45 5 | to such a~person.- This then was brought and this was
46 5 | precribed to him. Let us~then receive these things, as
47 5 | directed by it. For two reasons then it is right to be content
48 5 | changes? Carry thy thoughts then to the objects themselves,~
49 5 | or a whore or a robber.~Then turn to the morals of those
50 5 | himself. In such darkness then and~dirt and in so constant
51 5 | fitly and wittily. Go on then and ask if we~should value
52 5 | non-existence. Every part of me then will be reduced by~change
53 5 | their own works. They move then from~a first principle which
54 5 | attaining its end. Neither then does the end of man lie
55 5 | by the thoughts. Dye it then with~a continuous series
56 5 | live in~a palace;- well then, he can also live well in
57 5 | unharmed. It is a shame then that ignorance and~conceit
58 5 | all things disappear. How then is he~not a fool who is
59 5 | a body which~is all one, then thou must not strive to
60 5 | well of thy discovery. Well then, and thou hast~reason: by
61 5 | men do not permit thee, then get away~out of life, yet
62 5 | and~knowledge? What soul then has skill and knowledge?
63 5 | quarrelling, laughing, and then straightway weeping. But
64 5 | wide-spread earth.~ ~What then is there which still detains
65 5 | this is an empty thing. Why then dost thou~not wait in tranquility
66 5 | these people- wilt thou too then be made a fool for these
67 6 | we die: it is sufficient then in this act also to do well
68 6 | order and providence.~If then it is the former, why do
69 6 | blood of a shell-fish: such then are these impressions, and
70 6 | things~worth thy pains, it is then that it cheats thee most.
71 6 | cheats thee most. Consider then~what Crates says of Xenocrates
72 6 | In this flowing stream then, on which there~is no abiding,
73 6 | useless part of our food. What then is worth being~valued? To
74 6 | clapping of tongues. Suppose then that thou hast given up~
75 6 | aim at something. In this then~is the value of the education
76 6 | value many~other things too? Then thou wilt be neither free,
77 6 | utter~each letter? What then if they grow angry, wilt
78 6 | number every letter? just so~then in this life also remember
79 6 | it is not so.- Teach them then, and show~them without being
80 6 | things happen. Keep thyself then~simple, good, pure, serious,
81 6 | the~hand the hand's. So then neither to a man as a man
82 6 | grand and beautiful. Do not then imagine that they are of
83 6 | men as these. It remains then for thee to understand~among
84 6 | is~the world. The things then which are useful to these
85 6 | from the same. How long then?~ Think continually that
86 6 | kinds of men. To that place then we must remove, where there
87 6 | been in the~dust. What harm then is this to them; and what
88 6 | hundred. Be not dissatisfied then that~thou must live only
89 6 | do~impossibilities. What then didst thou desire?- Some
90 6 | ball is a fine~thing. Why then am I angry? Dost thou think
91 7 | all alike. It is thy duty then in the midst of such things
92 7 | if it is not sufficient, then either I retire from the~
93 7 | the assault on a town. How then, if being lame~thou canst
94 7 | daemon, or a good thing. What~then art thou doing here, O imagination?
95 7 | place without change?~What then is more pleasing or more
96 7 | change? Dost thou~not see then that for thyself also to
97 7 | the~material for a tree, then for a man, then for something
98 7 | a tree, then for a man, then for something else; and
99 7 | same kind. It is thy duty then to~pardon him. But if thou
100 7 | hast select the best, and then reflect how~eagerly they
101 7 | possible, he said.-~Such a man then will think that death also
102 7 | another.~ The prime principle then in man's constitution is
103 7 | and from deception. Let then the~ruling principle holding
104 7 | where are they?~Nowhere. Why then dost thou too choose to
105 7 | which happen to thee? For then thou wilt use them well,
106 7 | principles they possess. For then thou wilt~neither blame
107 7 | having no~appetite. When then thou art discontented about
108 7 | according to nature. Do not then be tired of receiving what
109 8 | hast fallen into disorder then, so that it is no~longer
110 8 | life also opposes it. If then thou hast truly seen where
111 8 | thy nature wills. Observe then what it wills, and let nothing
112 8 | nor anywhere. Where is it then? In~doing what man's nature
113 8 | man's nature requires. How then shall a man do this? If~
114 8 | sensual pleasure. Pleasure then is~neither good nor useful.~
115 8 | the same. For what purpose then art thou? to~enjoy pleasure?
116 8 | a ball.~What good is it then for the ball to be thrown
117 8 | Lucilla saw Verus die, and then Lucilla died. Secunda saw
118 8 | Secunda saw Maximus~die, and then Secunda died. Epitynchanus
119 8 | Antoninus saw Faustina die, and then Antoninus~died. Such is
120 8 | Celer saw Hadrian die, and then Celer~died. And those sharp-witted
121 8 | from fables. Remember this~then, that this little compound,
122 8 | either an evil to the body- then let the body say what it~
123 8 | the whole court is dead. Then turn to the rest,~not considering
124 8 | tombs- The last of~his race. Then consider what trouble those
125 8 | might leave a successor; and then, that of necessity some
126 8 | old women and~old men and then die? What then would those
127 8 | old men and then die? What then would those do after these
128 8 | not reason.- Be it so. Let then the~reason itself not trouble
129 8 | constitution of plants. So then that which is a~hindrance
130 8 | Apply all these things then to thyself. Does pain or
131 8 | not proper to a stone. If then there happens to each thing~
132 8 | way?- Do not be grieved then, for the cause of its not
133 8 | done.- Take thy departure then from life contentedly, just~
134 8 | from mere obstinacy.~What then will it be when it forms
135 8 | future be inexpugnable. He then who has~not seen this is
136 8 | danger, I do not see. Thus then~always abide by the first
137 8 | thyself from~within, and then nothing happens to thee.
138 8 | which decays.~She is content then with her own space, and
139 8 | pieces, curse thee. What~then can these things do to prevent
140 8 | be at all~polluted. How then shalt thou possess a perpetual
141 8 | he exists~himself. What then dost thou think of him who
142 8 | glide or fall off. Such then ought to~be the out-pouring
143 8 | one another. Teach them then or bear~with them.~ In one
144 9 | things that are true. He then who~lies intentionally is
145 9 | affected. With respect to pain, then,~and pleasure, or death
146 9 | also is dissolution. This,~then, is consistent with the
147 9 | to ignition. Accordingly then~everything also which participates
148 9 | which are~separated. See, then, what now takes place. For
149 9 | only observest. Sooner, then, will one find~anything
150 9 | any judgement. What is it,~then, which does judge about
151 9 | life under thy~grandfather, then to thy life under thy mother,
152 9 | thy life under thy mother, then to thy life under~thy father;
153 9 | to fear? In like manner,~then, neither are the termination
154 9 | life. Whatever act of~thine then has no reference either
155 9 | from its material part, and then contemplate it; then~determine
156 9 | and then contemplate it; then~determine the time, the
157 9 | the earth cover us all: then the earth, too, will~change,
158 9 | philosopher! All drivellers. Well then, man: do what~nature now
159 9 | thy opinion; and thou~wilt then gain for thyself ample space
160 9 | time without end. What, then, dost thou say? That all
161 9 | nothing. Towards the gods, then, now become~at last more
162 9 | mixture and dispersion. Why, then, art thou~disturbed? Say
163 9 | or they have power. If, then, they~have no power, why
164 9 | them~in thy power. Well, then, is it not better to use
165 9 | are in our power? Begin, then, to pray for such~things,
166 9 | on well and~happily. Do, then, the same that he did both
167 9 | thyself, Is it possible, then, that shameless men should
168 9 | is not possible. Do not, then, require what is~impossible.
169 10| BOOK TEN~ ~ WILT thou, then, my soul, never be good
170 10| governed by~nature only: then do it and accept it, if
171 10| animal. Use these rules, then, and trouble~thyself about
172 10| by nature to~bear it. If, then, it happens to thee in such
173 10| itself.~By remembering, then, that I am a part of such
174 10| things as natural, even then it would be ridiculous~to
175 10| which is~inspired. This, then, which has received the
176 10| and all such things. If, then, thou~maintainest thyself
177 10| themselves and so forth. Then what kind of men they are
178 10| whatever is about to be. I say then to the~universe, that I
179 10| nothing. Be of good cheer, then.~ Let this always be plain
180 10| every man what is fit. He then~who fears or is grieved
181 10| womb and goes away, and then another~cause takes it,
182 10| through the throat,~and then another cause takes it and
183 10| and how strange I~Observe then the things which are produced
184 10| every one do in like manner. Then let this thought be in thy~
185 10| thought be in thy~mind, Where then are those men? Nowhere,
186 10| happen in life?~Persevere then until thou shalt have made
187 10| not one~harms law. What then does not harm law does not
188 10| spring," as the poet says; then the wind casts them down;
189 10| the wind casts them down; then~the forest produces other
190 10| Thou wilt consider~this then when thou art dying, and
191 10| little advantage by it. Why then should a man cling to a
192 11| the property of Law. Thus then right~reason differs not
193 11| pancratium. In all~things, then, except virtue and the acts
194 11| the general interest? Well then I have had~my reward. Let
195 11| which after being cut off is~then ingrafted, for this is something
196 11| thou goest to them. Let then thy~judgement about them
197 11| be for a~short time, and then life will be at an end.
198 11| Take away these opinions then, and~resolve to dismiss
199 11| and thy anger is gone. How then shall I take~away these
200 11| natural one. In~this manner then the elemental parts obey
201 11| for dissolution. Is it not then~strange that thy intelligent
202 11| with anything that~happens, then too it deserts its post:
203 11| not receive a favour and then be unable to return it.~
204 11| our power.~ The dispute then, he said, is not about any

206 11| Because we have~them.- Why then do you fight and quarrel?~
207 12| part will look to this. If then, whatever the time may~be
208 12| live~according to nature- then thou wilt be a man worthy
209 12| life, that~is, the present- then thou wilt be able to pass
210 12| the opinion of others. If then a god or a wise~teacher

214 12| in thy power.~Take away then, when thou choosest, thy
215 12| has ceased. In like manner then the whole which consists

217 12| or fortunes of any kind: then~think where are they all
