XXV Father Zeus, from many evils you would surely deliver all men, If you would show to all what sort of daemon they have. But be of good courage, since the race of mortals is divine; To them sacred nature displays and reveals each thing. If you have a share in this, you will master my commands, Find a cure, and save your soul from sufferings like these [Book Review]

XI As many pains as mortals have by heaven-sent fortunes, Bear lightly your portion of these and be not distressed. You may seek to cure them, as far as you can, but keep in mind: Destiny does not give too many of these to the good.Hermann S.

XIX Let not your feeble eyes expect to sleep Until you have rehearsed each of the day’s deeds three times: ’Where have I transgressed? what have I done? what duty not fulfilled?’ Beginning from the first go through them in detail, and then, Rebuke yourself for the mean things you have done, but delight in the good.Hermann S. Schibli - 2002 - In Hermann Sadun Schibli (ed.), Hierocles of Alexandria. New York: Oxford University Press.
XXIII You will know, as is meet and right, the likeness of nature in all, So that you do not hope what cannot be hoped nor fail in your awareness.Hermann S. Schibli - 2002 - In Hermann Sadun Schibli (ed.), Hierocles of Alexandria. New York: Oxford University Press.
XXIV You will know that men have freely chosen their troubles, Wretches, who neither discern the goods that are close by Nor give them heed; few understand deliverance from evils. Such is the fate that harms their minds: like cylinders They are borne here and there, to one thing and another, suffering endless troubles. For baneful discord follows along, secretly working its harm, Innate in us; you must not advance it, but withdraw and flee. [REVIEW]Hermann S.
