Dialogue

 1  Gorg|        of knowledge and opinion, being and appearance, are never
 2  Gorg|         the meaning of Archelaus being miserable, or of rhetoric
 3  Gorg|        miserable, or of rhetoric being only useful in self- accusation.
 4  Gorg|         rather than the authors, being themselves carried away
 5  Gorg|         the words of Gorgias, of being ‘as long as he pleases,’
 6  Gorg|  maintain any other view without being ridiculous. The profession
 7  Gorg|       next best thing to a man’s being just is that he should be
 8  Gorg|        the Apology, he disclaims being a politician at all. There
 9  Gorg|         great indignation at not being allowed to use as many words
10  Gorg|      that Archelaus was a slave, being the son of a woman who was
11  Gorg|        different from saving and being saved? I would have you
12  Gorg|          The old story is always being repeated—‘after all his
13  Gorg|          the time when they were being judged, there was favouritism,
14  Gorg|         prevent a great man from being a good one, as is shown
15  Gorg|         they were the better for being punished.’ Still his doctrine
16  Gorg|  different in the two dialogues; being described in the former,
17  Gorg|     shall be always in danger of being deceived. And so the words
18  Gorg|       second rank to-day without being ready to restore them to
19  Gorg|         most real of all things, being another name for ourselves
20  Gorg|        of politics. But the game being one in which chance and
21  Gorg|          govern from the fear of being governed by a worse man
22  Gorg|       any other doctrine without being ridiculous.~There is a further
23  Gorg|          history —Christ himself being one of them—have attained
24  Gorg|       men from death, the reason being that he is uncertain whether
25  Gorg|         the chief point or moral being that in the judgments of
26  Gorg|         them from seeing into or being seen by one another.~The
27  Gorg|         The mind through all her being is immortal’)—can only be
28  Gorg|       difference, the difference being that the art of calculation
29  Gorg|     which is truly the greatest, being that which gives to men
30  Gorg|        as the gain is greater of being cured of a very great evil
31  Gorg|         that there was a gain in being refuted, there would be
32  Gorg|          mean: The soul and body being two, have two arts corresponding
33  Gorg|        which he now occupies, he being only the son of a woman
34  Gorg|         you at first, Polus, for being a rhetorician rather than
35  Gorg|          say that which no human being will allow? Ask the company.~
36  Gorg|   punishment is another name for being justly corrected when you
37  Gorg|     admitted, let me ask whether being punished is suffering or
38  Gorg|        Yes.~SOCRATES: But is the being healed a pleasant thing,
39  Gorg|     thing, and are those who are being healed pleased?~POLUS: I
40  Gorg|       surely does not consist in being delivered from evils, but
41  Gorg|        greatest crimes, and who, being the most unjust of men,
42  Gorg|         is afraid of the pain of being burned or cut:—Is not that
43  Gorg|          punishment and to avoid being released from the greatest
44  Gorg|        of death, to die, himself being the first to accuse himself
45  Gorg|        should try to prevent his being punished, or appearing before
46  Gorg|         contradict himself, that being just the sort of thing in
47  Gorg|       admission which led to his being entangled by you; and because
48  Gorg|          them, and without their being given to him, he carried
49  Gorg|   whether you are not ashamed of being thus defenceless; which
50  Gorg|        rights of citizenship?—he being a man who, if I may use
51  Gorg|         weakness, and one of us, being a physician, is wiser in
52  Gorg|        others of us—will he not, being wiser, be also better than
53  Gorg|        be the weakest of all, he being the best of all will have
54  Gorg|          the nobler natures, and being unable to satisfy their
55  Gorg|          the desires are seated, being the intemperate and incontinent
56  Gorg|        CALLICLES: What a strange being you are, Socrates! a regular
57  Gorg|  simultaneous, when you say that being thirsty, you drink? For
58  Gorg|        that I or any other human being denies that some pleasures
59  Gorg|    Callicles, the temperate man, being, as we have described, also
60  Gorg|      true.~And now, these things being as we have said, let us
61  Gorg|         evil so is the honour of being able to avert them in their
62  Gorg|          and the disgrace of not being able to avert them. Am I
63  Gorg|        different from saving and being saved:—May not he who is
64  Gorg|       think that we or any human being should be so silly as to
65  Gorg|       and reproaching me for not being one, suppose that we ask
66  Gorg|        currier; and in so doing, being such as he is, he is naturally
67  Gorg|          piece of work is always being made, as I see and am told,
68  Gorg|         and then blaming him for being bad?~CALLICLES: Yes, it
69  Gorg| injustice can be in no danger of being treated unjustly: he alone
