Dialogue

 1  Gorg|            regarded by Gorgias as a happy condition, for he has escaped
 2  Gorg|         they are unpunished, may be happy enough. He instances Archelaus,
 3  Gorg|         Does not Socrates think him happy?—Socrates would like to
 4  Gorg|           even the great king to be happy, unless he knows his mental
 5  Gorg|             be a wicked man and yet happy.~The evil-doer is deemed
 6  Gorg|             The evil-doer is deemed happy if he escapes, and miserable
 7  Gorg|        fairest of these is justice. Happy is he who has never committed
 8  Gorg|            committed injustice, and happy in the second degree he
 9  Gorg|            who want nothing are not happy. ‘Why,’ says Callicles, ‘
10  Gorg|        stones and the dead would be happy.’ Socrates in reply is led
11  Gorg|           He therefore who would be happy must pursue temperance and
12  Gorg|           paradox that a man may be happy on the rack, Plato has already
13  Gorg|             Still we regard them as happy, and we would a thousand
14  Gorg| consequences. And we regard them as happy on this ground only, much
15  Gorg|          other, such an one must be happy in life or after death.
16  Gorg|           man dying in torments was happy still, even if, as he suggests
17  Gorg|         rack the philosopher may be happy (compare Republic). It is
18  Gorg|       future, might he not still be happy in the performance of an
19  Gorg|        right, Polus; but I shall be happy to answer, if you will ask
20  Gorg|           many men who do wrong are happy.~SOCRATES: What events?~
21  Gorg|             do you think that he is happy or miserable?~SOCRATES:
22  Gorg|          with him, whether a man is happy?~SOCRATES: Most certainly
23  Gorg|        whether the great king was a happy man?~SOCRATES: And I should
24  Gorg|            gentle and good are also happy, as I maintain, and the
25  Gorg|        doctrine, he would have been happy. But now he is unspeakably
26  Gorg|          that the unjust man is not happy. But, my good friend, where
27  Gorg|          and doing injustice can be happy, seeing that you think Archelaus
28  Gorg|           Archelaus unjust, and yet happy? May I assume this to be
29  Gorg|         punishment he will still be happy?~POLUS: Certainly not; in
30  Gorg|        according to you, he will be happy?~POLUS: Yes.~SOCRATES: But
31  Gorg|         said that the wrong-doer is happy if he be unpunished?~POLUS:
32  Gorg|        friend? You deemed Archelaus happy, because he was a very great
33  Gorg|         fools, for how can a man be happy who is the servant of anything?
34  Gorg|            are not truly said to be happy?~CALLICLES: No indeed, for
35  Gorg|           to say, that they too are happy, if they only get enough
36  Gorg|     pleasure in whatever manner are happy, and who admits of no distinction
37  Gorg|           well must of necessity be happy and blessed, and the evil
38  Gorg|           that he who desires to be happy must pursue and practise
39  Gorg|          punishment, if he would be happy. This appears to me to be
40  Gorg|             present with him and be happy, not suffering his lusts
41  Gorg|       either the principle that the happy are made happy by the possession
42  Gorg|             that the happy are made happy by the possession of justice
43  Gorg|          lead you where you will be happy in life and after death,
