Asked how a man might eat acceptably to the Gods, Epictetus replied: If when he eats, he can be just, cheerful, equable, temperate, and orderly, can he not thus eat acceptably to the Gods?
Jim Blair grumbled, facing the steaming heat of the unholy customs shed. "It's an outrage an imposition " "Oh, not all that, Jim! Lucy that's the mother and I used to visit like this when we were girls. It was done then," his wife replied with an air of equable amusement. She added, "I rather think I did most of the visiting. I was awf'ly fond of Lucy."
Your relations with the outer world are calm and equable, without temptation to any passions but such as are perfectly legal. At eighty you will still be the virtuous mate of your husband. Don't you see that I envy you? Not on account of your husband you may keep him and welcome!
There are griefs which grow with years, which have no marked beginnings, no especial dates; they are not events, but slow perceptions of disappointment, which bear down on the heart with a constant and equable pressure like the weight of the atmosphere, and these things are never named or counted in words among life's sorrows; yet through them, as through an unsuspected inward wound, life, energy, and vigor slowly bleed away, and the persons, never owning even to themselves the weight of the pressure, standing, to all appearance, fair and cheerful, are still undermined with a secret wear of this inner current, and ready to fall with the first external pressure.

The sun was low in the western horizon when she entered the anteroom.

"He is to me so taking a man; so equable, so gentle, so considerate he brings people together, and fills them with confidence in himself and friendly feeling towards each other, more than any person I know." "You are wrong," said Sheffield, "if you think I don't value him extremely, and love him too; it's impossible not to love him. But he's not the person quite to get influence over me."
The brine that pours with an equable flow into the seething pan at Ebensee, is brought by wooden troughs from the salt mine at Hallein, a distance of thirty miles in a direct line.
Christianity lasted in Yamen up to the tenth century A.D. It paid tribute as a subordinate creed, like Judaism, but had far more equable charters and greater respect among Moslems. In fact, it was never driven out, but gradually merged into Islam, as is indicated by the inscriptions found on the lintel of ruined churches here and there, "There is but one God."
