107 10| Athenian. Yes, very true; the soul then directs all things
108 10| other qualities which the soul uses, herself a goddess,
109 10| say then that it is the soul which controls heaven and
110 10| we must say that the best soul takes care of the world

116 10| sun, but no one sees his soul, nor the soul of any other
117 10| one sees his soul, nor the soul of any other body living
118 10| is that?~Athenian. If the soul carries round the sun, we
119 10| they?~Athenian. Either the soul which moves the sun this
120 10| and visible body, like the soul which carries us about every
121 10| about every way; or the soul provides herself with an

123 10| ways.~Athenian. And this soul of the sun, which is therefore
124 10| like manner, that since a soul or souls having every sort
125 10| wrong in saying that the soul is the original of all things,
126 10| partake of the nature of soul? And is not man the most
127 10| creation admit. Now, as the soul combining first with one
128 10| the influence of another soul, all that remains to the
129 10| much vice, and that the soul and body, although not,
130 10| observed that the good of the soul was ever by nature designed

132 10| all things which have a soul change, and possess in themselves
133 10| the body. And whenever the soul receives more of good or

136 11| possession of justice in the soul is preferable to the possession

143 12| what we are is only the soul; and that the body follows

145 12| preservation of the law, in the soul; and, if I am not mistaken,
146 12| saviour, as of an animal the soul and the head are the chief
