15 2 | who lead the pleasantest life? and they replied, Those

28 3 | reason is rather the evil life which is generally led by
29 3 | rebelled against God, leading a life of endless evils. But why
30 3 | might best order his own life. And now, Megillus and Cleinias,
31 4 | preservation and continuance of life is not the most honourable

41 4 | orderly regulation of his own life—these things, I say, the
42 5 | nor when he thinks that life at any price is a good,
43 5 | during the remainder of his life. Wherefore the soul also
44 5 | need of the necessaries of life, is the best and most harmonious
45 5 | with our nature, and making life to be most entirely free

48 5 | his best to pass through life without sinning against
49 5 | would best pass through life in respect of those other
50 5 | isolation in crabbed age when life is on the wane: so that,
51 5 | must praise the noblest life, not only as the fairest
52 5 | pain during the whole of life. And this will be plain,
53 5 | according to nature. One life must be compared with another,
54 5 | things, we wish for that life in which there are many
55 5 | of pleasure and pain in life, this is to be regarded
56 5 | regarded by us as the balanced life; while other lives are preferred
57 5 | us say that the temperate life is one kind of life, and
58 5 | temperate life is one kind of life, and the rational another,
59 5 | who knows the temperate life will describe it as in all
60 5 | whereas the intemperate life is impetuous in all things,
61 5 | insane; and in the temperate life the pleasures exceed the
62 5 | but in the intemperate life the pains exceed the pleasures
63 5 | the diseased and healthy life; they both have pleasures
64 5 | painful should exceed, but the life in which pain is exceeded
65 5 | to be the more pleasant life. And we should say that
66 5 | should say that the temperate life has the elements both of
67 5 | intemperate, and the wise life than the foolish life, and
68 5 | wise life than the foolish life, and the life of courage
69 5 | the foolish life, and the life of courage than the life
70 5 | life of courage than the life of cowardice; one of each
71 5 | pleasanter than the vicious life, and far superior in beauty
72 5 | inhabitants in a moderate way of life—more than this is not required;
73 5 | altogether banished from life, and things which are by
74 5 | aforesaid number 5040 throughout life; in the second place, do
75 5 | and will endure all their life long to have their property
76 6 | led a similar unstained life. Now the laws about all
77 6 | them be interpreters for life, and when any one dies let
78 6 | ourselves in the evening of life, and they as compared with
79 6 | whole energies throughout life should be devoted to the

84 6 | their slaves, and making the life of servitude more disagreeable
85 6 | already, Cleinias, the mode of life during the year after marriage,

87 6 | their common and public life, is making a great mistake.

92 7 | due regulation of private life in cities, stability in
93 7 | in the earliest years of life greatly contributes to create
94 7 | considerable portion of life to be passed ill or well.~
95 7 | I maintain that the true life should neither seek for
96 7 | all men ought to avoid the life of unmingled pain or pleasure,
97 7 | health and enjoyment of life; and if ever afterwards
98 7 | desire a different sort of life, and under the influence
99 7 | shall be liable all his life long to have a suit of impiety
100 7 | distinguish the patterns of life, and lay down their keels
101 7 | go through the voyage of life best. Now human affairs
102 7 | walk seriously, and pass life in the noblest of pastimes,
103 7 | one of us should live the life of peace as long and as
104 7 | not share in their whole life with men, then they must
105 7 | have some other order of life.~Cleinias. Certainly.~Athenian.
106 7 | And what arrangement of life to be found anywhere is
107 7 | work weaving the web of life, which will be no cheap
108 7 | money and have no order of life, while he takes the utmost
109 7 | sex, and leaves half of life only blest with happiness,
110 7 | What will be the manner of life among men who may be supposed
111 7 | fattening like a beast? Such a life is neither just nor honourable,
