  1 1 |            the citizens are by the nature of the case compelled to
  2 1 |             And I want to know the nature of all these things, and
  3 1 |           me what there is of this nature among you:—What is there
  4 1 |         with women, is contrary to nature, and that the bold attempt
  5 1 |            are two fountains which nature lets flow, and he who draws
  6 1 |       meeting which is intended by nature to have a ruler, and is
  7 1 |       rightly ordered according to nature, without correct principles
  8 1 |      divine inspiration of his own nature, and is not manufactured.
  9 1 |      discussion, let me define the nature and power of education;
 10 1 |             they are in their very nature to be preferred to mere
 11 1 |            to the force of his own nature and habits, and believing
 12 1 |         seasons at which we are by nature more than commonly valiant
 13 1 |         man of a morose and savage nature, which is the source of
 14 2 |     whether the insight into human nature is the only benefit derived
 15 2 |       capable of understanding the nature of them, and who find them,
 16 2 |          is in our opinion true to nature or not. For men say that
 17 2 |       dances are suited, either by nature or habit or both, cannot
 18 2 |           and insolence of his own nature—of such an one you are,
 19 2 |        will remember, of the fiery nature of young creatures: I said
 20 2 |         and also in order that the nature of the soul, like iron melted
 21 3 |          element of order in their nature, and to courage, when they
 22 3 |        speaks the words of God and nature; for poets are a divine
 23 3 |      mistake, and not according to nature, either in our own case
 24 3 |     creatures, and is according to nature, as the Theban poet Pindar
 25 3 |          surely is not contrary to nature, but according to nature,
 26 3 |           nature, but according to nature, being the rule of law over
 27 3 |           and happy, as far as the nature of man allows, must and
 28 3 |          the old so called Titanic nature, and come to the same point
 29 4 |          of a courageous and noble nature; let him have that quality
 30 4 |       accordance with the order of nature?~Cleinias. You would assume,
 31 4 |             courageous, of a noble nature?~Athenian. Yes; and you
 32 4 |          that the legislator is by nature of the true sort, and that
 33 4 |           declaring, that no human nature invested with supreme power
 34 4 |           travels according to his nature in a straight line towards
 35 4 |            back, and goes into the nature of the disorder; he enters
 36 4 |          Will not the the order of nature, begin by making regulations
 37 4 | immortality, which every man is by nature inclined to desire to the
 38 4 |         there was no such thing in nature. Whereas our present discussion
 39 4 |          far as in us lies, at the nature of education. These then
 40 5 |            suffer what such men by nature do and say to one another—
 41 5 |        possessions, the soul is by nature most inclined to avoid the
 42 5 |      accord and agreement with our nature, and making life to be most
 43 5 |            envy. For the unenvious nature increases the greatness
 44 5 |          saying that “Every man by nature is and ought to be his own
 45 5 |        desires are a part of human nature, and on them every mortal
 46 5 |         being what is according to nature, and what is not according
 47 5 |           what is not according to nature. One life must be compared
 48 5 |           what sort of lives we by nature desire. And if we wish for
 49 5 |            or bodies of those whom nature and ill nurture have corrupted,
 50 5 |   destruction the pure and healthy nature and being of every other
 51 5 |            and things which are by nature private, such as eyes and
 52 5 |           begin by speaking of the nature and origin of the second.~
 53 5 |         not to honour according to nature similarity and equality
 54 5 |  arithmetic stirs up him who is by nature sleepy and dull, and makes
 55 5 |            impediment of chance or nature. For we must not fail to
 56 6 |          each of them, suitable in nature and number. But before electing
 57 6 |           and in proportion to the nature of each; and, above all,
 58 6 |        instruction and a fortunate nature, and then of all animals
 59 6 |          sacred principle given by nature, but in some the division
 60 6 |            somehow every one is by nature prone to that which is likest
 61 6 |         the human race which is by nature prone to secrecy and stealth
 62 6 |           in proportion as woman’s nature is inferior to that of men
 63 7 |        discontented and ungracious nature appear to you to be full
 64 7 |       ancestors are all of similar nature. And the reflection which
 65 7 |        even six years the childish nature will require sports; now
 66 7 |         hand are supposed to be by nature differently suited for our
 67 7 |           our several limbs are by nature balanced, we create a difference
 68 7 |          the right act contrary to nature. In the case of the plectrum,
 69 7 |            and if a person had the nature of Geryon or Briareus he
 70 7 |           help, spoil the gifts of nature by bad habits.~Education
 71 7 |          dreamy suspicion of their nature. And let our decree be as
 72 7 |       their keels according to the nature of different men’s souls;
 73 7 |    according to the appointment of nature; being for the most part
 74 7 |           sleep is not required by nature, either for our souls or
 75 7 |          quickness in writinig, if nature has not stimulated them
 76 7 |            any which are of a like nature, if he should happen to
 77 7 |      shrines, and bring upon human nature the reproach, that of all
 78 7 |       names which are according to nature and deserving of praise,
 79 7 |           so necessity grounded in nature constrains us, against which
 80 7 |         very true and agreeable to nature.~Athenian. Yes, Cleinias,
 81 7 |            the supreme God and the nature of the universe, nor busy
 82 7 |             Cleinias. Lies of what nature?~Athenian. We say that they
 83 7 |           ought to learn about the nature of the Gods in heaven, so
 84 7 |      ignorant? Try and explain the nature of it to us as clearly as
 85 8 |         games will accord with the nature of the country. Let them
 86 8 |       legislators of the times and nature and conditions of the choral
 87 8 |           For if any one following nature should lay down the law
 88 8 |         these lusts as contrary to nature, adducing the animals as
 89 8 |         these matters must see the nature of friendship and desire,
 90 8 |   moderation is the appointment of nature, and deters men from all
 91 8 |     possible, and not beyond human nature?~Cleinias. By all means.~
 92 8 |        ought not to fall below the nature of birds and beasts in general,
 93 8 |     treasured up; the other, which nature intends to be stored. Let
 94 9 |           to the weakness of human nature generally, I will proclaim
 95 9 |        discoursing about the whole nature of the body, he would burst
 96 9 |            more in accordance with nature. For there is another matter
 97 9 |            enactments of a similar nature. But we stopped short, because
 98 9 |           and love or not hate the nature of the just—this is quite
 99 9 |            that one element in her nature is passion, which may be
100 9 |          in whatever part of human nature states or individuals may
101 9 |          and wealth is intended by nature to be for the sake of them,
102 9 |           necessity take a woman’s nature, and lose his life at the
103 9 |           able, according to their nature and number, and determine
104 9 |           of this is that no man’s nature is able to know what is
105 9 |           good as secondary. Human nature will be always drawing him
106 9 |          free, and in harmony with nature. But then there is no such
107 9 |           from passion are of this nature, and come in between the
108 9 |      suitable to him. The obedient nature will readily yield to such
109 10|          you do not understand the nature of their complaint, and
110 10|           and will become, some by nature, some by art, and some by
111 10|     fairest things are the work of nature and of chance, the lesser
112 10|         art, which, receiving from nature the greater and primeval
113 10|        earth and air, all exist by nature and chance, and none of
114 10|            but as I was saying, by nature and chance only. Art sprang
115 10|          and these co–operate with nature, such, for example, as medicine,
116 10|            politics cooperate with nature, but in a less degree, and
117 10|         that the Gods exist not by nature, but by art, and by the
118 10|         honourable is one thing by nature and another thing by law,
119 10|        have no existence at all in nature, but that mankind are always
120 10|            by law have no basis in nature, but are of authority for
121 10|           a true life according to nature, that is, to live in real
122 10|           that both alike exist by nature, and no less than nature,
123 10|           nature, and no less than nature, if they are the creations
124 10|         all things? These he calls nature, and out of these he supposes
125 10|          into error about the true nature of the Gods.~Cleinias. Still
126 10|         seem to be ignorant of the nature and power of the soul, especially
127 10|           and after them will come nature and works of nature, which
128 10|           come nature and works of nature, which however is a wrong
129 10|     Cleinias. But why is the word “nature” wrong?~Athenian. Because
130 10|          the term mean to say that nature is the first creative power;
131 10|            may be said to exist by nature; and this would be true
132 10|         all that is therein, is by nature akin to the movement and
133 10|           again.~Athenian. Of what nature is the movement of mind?—
134 10|             or know adequately the nature of mind;—it will be safer
135 10|        reason to believe that this nature, unperceived by any of our
136 10|          not be supposed to have a nature which he himself hates?—
137 10|        human things partake of the nature of soul? And is not man
138 10|         pieces; sending the better nature to the better place, and
139 10|            of the soul was ever by nature designed to profit men,
140 10|         which a thing of a certain nature found a certain seat and
141 10|        bent of his desires and the nature of his soul.~Cleinias. Yes,
142 10|            they, and what is their nature? Must they not be at least
143 10|            and yet has a righteous nature, hates the wicked and dislikes
144 10|         not from malice or an evil nature, be placed by the judge
145 11|          trade in a city is not by nature intended to do any harm,
146 11|         have been rarely gifted by nature, and trained by education—
147 11|           remedy for evils of this nature. There is an ancient saying,
148 11|       unless the agreement be of a nature which the law or a vote
149 11|            of his art, which is by nature a true thing; and he who
150 11|            of the departed, who by nature incline to take an especial
151 11|            Gods in accordance with nature; and that if a parent is
152 11|            to be contrary to their nature.~Cleinias. Certainly.~Athenian.
153 11|       things being thus ordered by nature, good men think it a blessing
154 11|            is not easy to know the nature of all these things; nor
155 11|          ungracious element of his nature; and nursing up his wrath
156 12|           the ruling senses are by nature set. Let the young man imagine
157 12|        disgrace appropriate to his nature, but he shall pay a thousand
158 12|            girders, and sinews—one nature diffused in many places,
159 12|            the wickedness of human nature, let the law ordain that
160 12|          they are removed from the nature of virtue in themselves.
161 12|            into parts of which the nature and number have been described,
162 12|          end comes in the order of nature. Concerning the dead of
163 12|          in them this irreversible nature.~Cleinias. It will be no
164 12|           only discover how such a nature can be implanted in anything.~
165 12|            young man was worthy by nature and education, and then
166 12|     courageous temper is a gift of nature and not of reason. But without
167 12|         soul; it is of a different nature.~Cleinias. That is true.~
168 12|          and reproved, what is the nature of virtue and vice? Or shall
169 12|          is not well, according to nature?~Cleinias. Certainly.~Athenian.
170 12|        persons again mistaking the nature of the soul, which they
171 12|           contemplated the mind of nature which is said to exist in
