 2 1  |          existing beings. ~IF any man, either from ignorance or
 3 1  |       consider easiest for such a man. For, since all desire to
 4 1  |           it is natural that this man should, at some time, turn
 5 4  |           its nature to wood, and man more excellent than the
 6 4  |           not deserve the name of man. Therefore, although it
 7 4  |          only an absurdly foolish man can fail to regard such
 8 8  |         who asks regarding a dumb man, of what he speaks, the
 9 8  |       with a like meaning, when a man is afflicted without cause,
10 8  |        one frequently says a rich man has been made from a poor
11 8  |         has been made from a poor man, or that one has recovered
12 8  |    something. For so, beholding a man of very lowly fortunes exalted
13 8  |        say, "Lo, he has made that man out of nothing"; that is,
14 8  |         of nothing"; that is, the man who was before reputed as
15 10 |       themselves.~For I express a man in one way, when I signify
16 10 |        pronouncing these words, a man; in another, when I think
17 10 |         when the mind regards the man himself, either through
18 11 |          performed. For, though a man can, by meditation or representation,
19 15 |            is apparently a better man than one who is wise, but
20 15 |        gold. For it is better for man not to be gold, than to
21 15 |          For though both, namely, man and lead are not gold, man
22 15 |        man and lead are not gold, man is something as much better
23 16 |    justness is just. For, since a man cannot be justness, but
24 16 |         do not conceive of a just man as being justness, but as
25 17 |        consideration. For, when a man is said to be a material
26 17 |      itself, is the whole of what man is.~That supreme Being,
27 21 |       individual times, just as a man exists as a whole yesterday,
28 25 |          older nor younger than a man who is not yet born, nor
29 27 |         one substance, as being a man is common to individual
30 29 |         it? For he does not, like man, ever fail to express what
31 31 |         if -- as the reality of a man is said to be the living
32 31 |          is said to be the living man, but the likeness or image
33 31 |        the likeness or image of a man in his picture -- so the
34 33 |            For, when I think of a man I know, in his absence,
35 33 |         word corresponding to the man I express by thinking of
36 44 |         not as one conceives of a man's wisdom, through which
37 44 |           s wisdom, through which man is wise, though he cannot
38 44 |      through the other, just as a man cannot be wise except through
39 44 |           himself. For, if a wise man should teach me his wisdom,
40 50 |       rate, clear to the rational man that he does not remember
41 62 |         separately. Again, if one man thinks of more objects than
42 62 |           But in the thought of a man, when he thinks of anything
43 64 |          anything can be known by man? Hence, if it is not by
44 71 | confidently than that the soul of man is so constituted that,
45 73 |        And toward this good every man ought to strive, by loving
46 76 |       Being, in which alone every man ought to believe; because
47 78 |     evidently expedient for every man to believe in a certain
48 79 |            and to be appeased for man's own sake because of some
