1 11| There are four principal aberrations of the superior faculty
2 6 | then, on which there~is no abiding, what is there of the things
3 9 | desire in a slavish and abject way what is not~in thy power?
4 1 | piety and beneficence, and abstinence, not only from~evil deeds,
5 2 | it~in itself, and by the abstractive power of reflection resolves
6 11| consider it among the most absurd of~things for a man not
7 1 | of which fortune gives an abundant supply, he~used without
8 6 | and even~those co-operate abundantly, who find fault with what
9 10| Equanimity is the voluntary acceptance of the~things which are
10 4 | disposition which gladly accepts all that~happens, as necessary,
11 8 | man which is not a human accident, nor~to an ox which is not
12 10| making a right use of these accidents. And finally remember that~
13 6 | see how the handicraftsmen accommodate themselves up~to a certain
14 1 | had the power of~readily accommodating himself to all, so that
15 1 | those who had~failed to accompany him, by reason of any urgent
16 10| desires nothing else~than to accomplish the straight course through
17 12| neither blame chance nor accuse~Providence. Second, consider
18 1 | a pedant; but~every one acknowledged him to be a man ripe, perfect,
19 7 | in thy power piously to~acquiesce in thy present condition,
20 8 | hindered.- Well, but by acquiescing~in the hindrance and by
21 10| now, only with different~actors.~ Imagine every man who
22 2 | in his comparison of bad acts- such a comparison as~one
23 6 | Archimedes, and other men of acute natural talents,~great minds,
24 4 | happen, that it always~easily adapts itself to that which is
25 7 | its limits, and if thou addest nothing to it in imagination:
26 3 | being near to~rottenness adds a peculiar beauty to the
27 11| branch cut off from the adjacent branch must of necessity
28 1 | which were necessary for the administration of the empire, and to be
29 2 | art a~part, and of what administrator of the universe thy existence
30 8 | illumination, if it does not~admit it.~ He who fears death
31 1 | as in~illness; and a just admixture in the moral character of
32 5 | faculty; show him~his error, admonish him. For if he listens,
33 11| opportunity offers, thou gently~admonishest him and calmly correctest
34 1 | through not observing the admonitions~of the gods, and, I may
35 6 | something more divine,~and advancing by a way hardly observed
36 10| course of action which is advantageous to his~fellow-citizens,
37 10| stop~and take the best advisers. But if any other things
38 9 | universal nature is equally affected- for it~would not have made
39 11| the way of reproach, but affectionately and without any~rancour
40 8 | depressed, expanded, shrinking, affrighted? And what wilt thou find~
41 2 | stranger's sojourn, and after-fame is oblivion. What then is
42 6 | as a thorn, as mud, are after-products of the~grand and beautiful.
43 10| transmit a man's fame to~aftertimes. For all such things as
44 6 | offended, nor do we~suspect him afterwards as a treacherous fellow;
45 11| has its reason too.~ ~And again-~ ~ We must not chale and
46 4 | be just and pure; or as Agathon says, look not round at~
47 7 | dost thou not leave these agitations which are foreign to nature,
48 8 | and not even here do all agree, no, not any one with himself:~
49 7 | their assemblies, armies,~agricultural labours, marriages, treaties,
50 8 | descendants, ancestors, sister,~Agrippa, kinsmen, intimates, friends,
51 8 | judgement about anything aided by~reason and deliberately?
52 6 | arts lead. For every art aims at this, that the~thing
53 10| those who assume arrogant~airs in bestowing their praise
54 8 | rays are called Extensions [aktines] because they~are extended [
55 11| the town mouse, and of the alarm~and trepidation of the town
56 10| and when thou hast seen Alciphron think of Tropaeophorus,~
57 11| fear, and the man who is alienated from~him who is by nature
58 1 | of the gods, and, I may almost say, their direct instructions;
59 4 | frankincense on the same altar: one falls before,~another
60 4 | to thy recollection this alternative;~either there is providence
61 1 | after having fallen into~amatory passions, I was cured; and,
62 9 | thou hast forgotten and art amazed that~he has erred. But most
63 1 | intention; and he never showed~amazement and surprise, and was never
64 5 | But to have good repute~amidst such a world as this is
65 6 | thou art~satisfied with the amount of substance which has been
66 6 | it happens to thee in the amphitheatre and such places, that~the
67 9 | wilt then gain for thyself ample space by comprehending the
68 11| rational soul: it sees itself,~analyses itself, and makes itself
69 8 | daughter, descendants, ancestors, sister,~Agrippa, kinsmen,
70 10| desiring anything, either animate or inanimate, for the~enjoyment
71 7 | resolution into atoms,~or annihilation, it is either extinction
72 6 | things in those who are like antagonists in the gymnasium. For it~
73 9 | has given to man, as an antidote against~the stupid man,
74 7 | evil.- Certainly not.~ From Antisthenes: It is royal to do good
75 6 | doctor, would they~listen to anybody else; or how could the helmsman
76 4 | thou art now a~beast and an ape, if thou wilt return to
77 9 | wretched life and murmuring and apish tricks. Why art~thou disturbed?
78 8 | because they~are extended [apo tou ekteinesthai]. But one
79 11| the leader of~the Muses (Apollo), and it is this- that to
80 7 | perception of this will~be more apparent to thee, if thou often sayest
81 6 | thee tolerable, and thou appearest tolerable in the court.~
82 8 | the~praise of those who applaud, of men who know not either
83 5 | readily receive as~very applicable that which was said by the
84 1 | of medicine or external applications. He was~most ready to give
85 1 | consistently. And that might be applied to him which is recorded
86 5 | comic writer might be~aptly applied- that he who has them, through
87 5 | sponge and egg, or as another applies a plaster, or~drenching
88 4 | be dissatisfied, if thou appliest~thyself to smaller matters
89 10| of the things which are appointed by him who rules all~things,
90 4 | everything which~happens has been apportioned and spun out to thee. In
91 3 | this is~according to the apportionment and spinning of the thread
92 2 | why should a man have any~apprehension about the change and dissolution
93 9 | thee~anything injurious, approach their poor souls, penetrate
94 8 | man, whoever he may be,~appropriately, not with any affectation:
95 4 | fire is~strong, it soon appropriates to itself the matter which
96 12| nothing except what God will approve, and~to accept all that
97 7 | to~handle, but usual and apt matter to work on.~ The
98 6 | these, Eudoxus,~Hipparchus, Archimedes, and other men of acute
99 6 | Is it not strange if~the architect and the physician shall
100 2 | perishable, and~dead they are- all this it is the part
101 8 | kinsmen, intimates, friends, Areius, Maecenas, physicians and~
102 4 | things;~or remember the arguments by which it has been proved
103 9 | immediately when the~occasion arises, what virtue nature has
104 9 | how great is the trouble arising from the discordance of
105 5 | such a mouth, he has such arm-pits: it is necessary that such
106 7 | them in their assemblies, armies,~agricultural labours, marriages,
107 9 | and in wars, treaties and armistices. But in the things which
108 5 | thou angry with him whose armpits stink? Art thou angry with
109 6 | sequence in this general~arrangement I ought to accept with pleasure
110 7 | that when he was bid to~arrest Leon of Salamis, he considered
111 12| at which thou wishest to arrive by a circuitous~road, thou
112 8 | with them.~ In one way an arrow moves, in another way the
113 2 | contexture of nerves, veins, and~arteries. See the breath also, what
114 8 | aversion is within, and no evil ascends so high.~ Wipe out thy imaginations
115 9 | as in the stars. Thus the ascent to the higher~degree is
116 3 | indifferent I attempt to ascertain the value of each.~ If thou
117 12| they all now? Smoke and ash and a tale, or not even~
118 6 | common to him and the gods?~ Asia, Europe are corners of the
119 7 | duty~like a soldier in the assault on a town. How then, if
120 7 | should look at them in their assemblies, armies,~agricultural labours,
121 6 | puppets by strings, nor assembling in herds, nor being~nourished
122 9 | just as when in a popular assembly~a man acting by himself
123 4 | that thou hast heard and assented~to about pain and pleasure,
124 8 | when in its thoughts~it assents to nothing false or uncertain,
125 10| with whatever the state may assign~to him.~ The parts of the

127 10| man is a man.~ Mimi, war, astonishment, torpor, slavery, will daily
128 4 | over the sick; and how many astrologers~after predicting with great
129 1 | nor curious about what he~ate, nor about the texture and
130 1 | reported of Domitius and Athenodotus; and to love my children~
131 7 | For thus it is, men of Athens, in truth: wherever a man
132 6 | a drop in~the universe; Athos a little clod of the universe:
133 9 | corruption and change of~this atmosphere which surrounds us. For
134 9 | us the contrary way and attach us to life, to be permitted
135 6 | think that this can be attained~by thyself too.~ In the
136 6 | effort as~this.- But thou attainest thy object, if the things
137 5 | the means of man's nature~attaining its end. Neither then does
138 9 | dreams, by signs, towards the attainment of those things on which~
139 10| fail, let thy failure be in attempting this. He who~follows reason
140 10| thy eyes; and him who has attended thee to thy~grave another
141 10| reputation, and the like. For by attending to this thou wilt quickly~
142 6 | health of those whom he attends?~ How many together with
143 2 | particularly those which attract with the~bait of pleasure

167 9 | maturity, and to~have teeth and beard and grey hairs, and to beget,
168 7 | nor everlasting, if thou bearest in mind that it~has its
169 7 | because thou hast despaired of becoming a dialectician and skilled~
170 5 | for this, to~lie in the bed-clothes and keep myself warm?- But
171 9 | beard and grey hairs, and to beget, and to be~pregnant and
172 5 | too exist, and those who begot me, and so on for~ever in
173 10| which even my~associates in behalf of whom I have striven so
174 11| deprived of the power~of behaving to each man according to
175 8 | relate to good and bad: the belief that~there is nothing good
176 1 | observed that everybody believed that he thought as he spoke,

178 3 | fruit. And the ears of corn~bending down, and the lion's eyebrows,

180 1 | that I never touched~either Benedicta or Theodotus, and that,
181 9 | with~what is done for the benefit of the whole; or there are
182 12| arranged all things well~and benevolently for mankind, have overlooked

193 5 | trifling, and~like little dogs biting one another, and little
194 9 | sediments; and~garments, only bits of hair; and purple dye,
195 9 | enough of this.~ When another blames thee or hates thee, or when
196 9 | But most of all when thou blamest a man as faithless~or ungrateful,
197 6 | blamed him unjustly without blaming them in~return; how he did
198 10| all things its own, as the blazing~fire makes flame and brightness
199 5 | to venerate the gods and bless them,~and to do good to

201 4 | from social reason; he is blind, who~shuts the eyes of the
202 1 | both others, and against bloodspitting and~giddiness...; and that,
203 1 | of the green nor of the blue party~at the games in the

205 10| as they~are at bed and at board, and thou hast not forgotten
206 9 | conversation was not about my~bodily sufferings, nor, says he,
207 8 | is either an evil to the body- then let the body say what
208 10| bed in silence laments the bonds~in which we are held. And
209 7 | exercises with spears, a bone cast to little dogs, a bit
210 6 | understood it; and~how he bore with those who blamed him
211 8 | nothing which may not be borne by thee.~ If thou art pained
212 9 | equally affected towards~both- towards these they who wish
213 1 | overcome all passion for~boys; and he considered himself
214 10| law is master,~and he who breaks the law is a runaway. And
215 3 | which~is planted in his breast, nor disturb it by a crowd
216 4 | rest, as soon as they have breathed~out their breath, they are
217 1 | such things; and~not to breed quails for fighting, nor
218 7 | scape from death.~ The breeze which heaven has sent~ We
219 5 | to the gods, thy parents, brethren,~children, teachers, to
220 8 | Throw it away.- There are briars in the~road.- Turn aside
221 12| want of practice, holds the bridle more vigorously~than the
222 10| true principles even the briefest~precept is sufficient, and
223 10| blazing~fire makes flame and brightness out of everything that is
224 1 | Helvidius,~Cato, Dion, Brutus; and from him I received
225 11| many by the name of~Lamiae, bugbears to frighten children.~ The
226 1 | hours; he was not fond of building houses, nor curious about
227 1 | the construction of public~buildings, his donations to the people,
228 11| ram over the~flock or a bull over the herd. But examine
229 11| The unripe grape, the ripe bunch, the dried grape, all are~
230 7 | labourings of ants and burden-carrying,~runnings about of frightened

232 4 | after another. One man after burying another has been laid out
233 7 | are worth about which he busies~himself.~ In discourse thou
234 2 | thyself, I shall meet with the~busy-body, the ungrateful, arrogant,
235 3 | words stealing,~sowing, buying, keeping quiet, seeing what
236 4 | tombs somewhere at last, Cadicianus, Fabius,~Julianus, Lepidus,
237 4 | manner~antiquated, Camillus, Caeso, Volesus, Leonnatus, and
238 3 | Alexander, and Pompeius, and Caius Caesar, after so often~completely
239 5 | case also.~ When thou art calling out on the Rostra, hast
240 9 | again, marble rocks, the~callosities of the earth; and gold and
241 12| promontory, thou wilt find calm, everything~stable, and
242 9 | voyagings in storms~and calms, and the differences among

244 4 | disease, and death, and~calumny, and treachery, and whatever

248 10| striven so much, prayed, and~cared, themselves wish me to depart,
249 2 | the last, laying aside all~carelessness and passionate aversion
250 3 | to thy own aid, if thou carest at all for~thyself, while
251 2 | according to~nature.~ This in Carnuntum.~
252 8 | wouldst be ridiculed by a carpenter~and shoemaker if thou didst
253 9 | sports, and poor spirits~carrying about dead bodies, such
254 10| poet says; then the wind casts them down; then~the forest
255 5 | why such acts~are named catorthoseis or right acts, which word
256 9 | swarms of bees, and~herds of cattle, and the nurture of young
257 12| of this~sort, how Fabius Catullinus lived in the country, and
258 1 | urgent occupations.~ From Catulus, not to be indifferent when
259 11| by the anger~and vexation caused by such acts than by the
260 8 | both when it exercises caution and when it is employed
261 3 | pieces~many ten thousands of cavalry and infantry, themselves
262 8 | curse it, the spring never ceases sending up~potable water;
263 9 | condemned to be found in never ceasing evil?~ The rottenness of
264 4 | poet says, Dear city of Cecrops; and wilt not~thou say,
265 3 | fell sick and died.~The Chaldaei foretold the deaths of many,
266 11| And again-~ ~ We must not chale and fret at that which happens.~ ~
267 4 | emptiness of applause, and the~changeableness and want of judgement in
268 7 | magic arts~ Turning the channel's course to 'scape from
269 8 | instance the sharp-witted men, Charax and~Demetrius the Platonist
270 5 | if in truth thou canst be charged with being rather~slow and
271 3 | be able to look~on with chaste eyes; and many such things
272 3 | In the mind of one who is chastened and purified thou wilt find
273 8 | the tomb of Verus? Does Chaurias~or Diotimus sit by the tomb
274 6 | pains, it is then that it cheats thee most. Consider then~
275 10| the cause which moves and checks them than in the~weaver'
276 10| there is~nothing. Be of good cheer, then.~ Let this always
277 2 | mayest not die murmuring, but~cheerfully, truly, and from thy heart
278 1 | led aside by~anything; and cheerfulness in all circumstances, as
279 1 | to others readily, and to cherish good hopes, and to~believe
280 1 | in a reproachful way to chide those who uttered any barbarous
281 8 | only circumscribest~it, and chidest thy mind, if it is unable
282 4 | resolved into the elements. But~chiefly thou shouldst think of those
283 4 | stubborn character,~bestial, childish, animal, stupid, counterfeit,
284 3 | to~thee without thy own choice; if, I say, thou seest anything
285 11| mere obstinacy, as with the~Christians, but considerately and with
286 2 | forms and come round in a circle, and that it~makes no difference
287 12| thou wishest to arrive by a circuitous~road, thou canst have now,
288 12| and whatever the external circumfluent vortex whirls round, so
289 8 | very little, if thou only circumscribest~it, and chidest thy mind,
290 7 | allowed thee the power of circumscribing~thyself and of bringing
291 3 | the ripe olives the very circumstance of their being near to~rottenness
292 1 | party~at the games in the Circus, nor a partizan either of
293 8 | free from~passions is a citadel, for man has nothing more
