  2 1 |           last would be by far the best sort of judge and legislator.~
  3 1 |           laws for the sake of the best?~Cleinias. To be sure.~Athenian.
  4 1 |      external or civil, is not the best, and the need of either
  5 1 |        another, and good will, are best. Nor is the victory of the
  6 1 |           that the body was in the best state when sick and purged
  7 1 |   reasonably good laws, one of the best of them will be the law
  8 1 |     against your laws until to the best of my ability I have examined
  9 1 |             appear to me to be the best in the world; for that which
 10 1 |         and Scythians.~Megillus. O best of men, we have only to
 11 1 |     Locrians, who appear to be the best–governed people in their
 12 1 |   associations to be framed in the best way possible in states,
 13 1 |         and fairest thing that the best of men can ever have, and
 14 1 |     cooperate with the lead of the best, which is law. For inasmuch
 15 2 |            that which delights the best and best educated, and especially
 16 2 |        which delights the best and best educated, and especially
 17 2 |       experience of the eldest and best has agreed to be truly right.
 18 2 |           all these things are the best of possessions, to the unjust
 19 2 |           the happiest is also the best;—we shall affirm this to
 20 2 |             Where, then, will that best part of our city which,
 21 2 |        these, and want to have the best.~Cleinias. Certainly.~Athenian.

 23 2 |         And those who seek for the best kind of song and music ought
 24 2 |           that they may choose the best, and that which is nearest
 25 2 |            which is nearest to the best; for otherwise they will
 26 2 |           been accomplished to the best of our ability, and let
 27 3 |         man be able to judge of it best from a point of view in
 28 3 |          surely likes his own laws best, and the laws of others
 29 3 |      choose those which they think best. These persons will themselves
 30 3 |          for we will give them our best attention; and that is the
 31 3 |         the way in which a freeman best shows his approval or disapproval.~
 32 3 |          Athenian. And that is the best answer; for whichever alternative
 33 3 |      expression of opinion, but is best passed over in silence.~
 34 3 |        seeing how a state might be best administered, and how an
 35 3 |            how an individual might best order his own life. And
 36 4 |        habits, least of all to the best part of the citizens. You

 38 4 |           we acknowledge to be the best for the settlement and legislation
 39 4 |           of states.~Cleinias. The best by far.~Athenian. And now
 40 4 |         state is to acquire in the best manner and in the shortest
 41 4 |     prosperous; He has done second best for a state in which there
 42 4 |         two such rulers, and third best for a state in which there
 43 4 |           say, I suppose, that the best government is produced from
 44 4 |          to say that the change is best made out of a tyranny; and
 45 4 |           and temperance, then the best laws and the best constitution
 46 4 |         then the best laws and the best constitution come into being;
 47 4 |        rule and life, of which the best–ordered of existing states
 48 4 |          thought by them to be the best way of expressing the natural
 49 4 |        service, is the noblest and best of all things, and also
 50 4 |           most moderate funeral is best, neither exceeding the customary
 51 4 |         very foolish question; the best form, and not the shortest,
 52 5 |        necessaries of life, is the best and most harmonious of all,
 53 5 |           devoid of reverence. The best way of training the young
 54 5 |         citizens, he is by far the best, who rather than the Olympic
 55 5 |        reputed to have obeyed them best through life. In his relations
 56 5 |        caution in him, will do his best to pass through life without
 57 5 |           man he must be who would best pass through life in respect
 58 5 |           and the pleasant and the best and noblest, a man may live
 59 5 |          and some of them, and the best and most difficult of them,
 60 5 |         can complete his work. The best kind of purification is
 61 5 |           manner which, if not the best, is the second best. Perhaps
 62 5 |            the best, is the second best. Perhaps also some one may
 63 5 |           forms of government, the best, the second and the third
 64 5 |           the second and the third best, which we may just mention,

 66 5 |            in the following terms:—Best of men, cease not to honour
 67 5 |          That these principles are best, any one may see who compares
 68 5 |       desires to have the city the best and happiest possible. But
 69 6 |       first created by them in the best and surest manner. Above
 70 6 |            the new citizens may be best managed under present circumstances;
 71 6 |           be inferior men, but the best possible. For as the proverb
 72 6 |           they can, the eldest and best of the colonists, to the
 73 6 |            and the new city do the best she can for her own preservation
 74 6 |           citizens is in every way best; him the legislator shall
 75 6 |        severally think will be the best superintendent of education.
 76 6 |    neighbours and friends who know best the questions at issue.
 77 6 |            seems to them to be the best, and whom they deem likely
 78 6 |            the ensuing year in the best and holiest manner. And
 79 6 |           any rate, we must do our best.~Cleinias. Of course.~Athenian.
 80 6 |            that we should have the best and most attached slaves
 81 6 |        impiety and injustice, will best sow the seeds of virtue
 82 6 |          called pleasantest to the best, using the Muses and the

 87 7 |           should choose what seems best, you spoke very properly,
 88 7 |           we can attain the second–best form of polity, we shall
 89 7 |       answer should be as follows:—Best of strangers, we will say
 90 7 |             and our tragedy is the best and noblest; for our whole
 91 7 |       state is an imitation of the best and noblest life, which
 92 7 |           we not say to them:—O ye best of Hellenes, is not this
 93 7 |         person who serves the laws best and obeys them most, but
 94 7 |   laborious spirit. Thus, only the best kind of hunting is allowed
 95 8 |            him as being always the best friend of man. For the connection
 96 8 |            him who seems to be the best, and blaming him who is
 97 8 |            prizes given to him who best fulfils the ordinances of
 98 8 |            outright what he thinks best for the city and citizens—
 99 8 |            beloved youth to be the best possible; and the other
100 8 |         sell. And how will they be best distributed? In the first
101 9 |  government, and ascertain what is best and what is most needful,
102 9 |         very moment choose what is best, or, if we prefer, what
103 9 |            far the noblest and the best? and should not other writings
104 9 |            when the opinion of the best, in whatever part of human
105 9 |            obeys this rule, and is best for the whole life of man,
106 9 |          at true opinion about the best. The latter being subdivided
107 9 |            partly involuntary. The best and truest view is to regard
108 9 |            as they say, is his own best friend? I mean the suicide,
109 9 |            is able to know what is best for human society; or knowing,
110 9 |          and willing to do what is best. In the first place, there
111 9 |            order, which are second best. These look at things as
112 9 |           we are legislating to be best able to judge, and therefore
113 10|         who are esteemed to be the best of poets, and orators, and
114 10| demonstration of this would be the best and noblest prelude of all
115 10|        plain, we must say that the best soul takes care of the world
116 10|           things round, either the best soul or the contrary must

118 10|          And, O most excellent and best of men, do I understand
119 10|           the most careful and the best of owners to neglect us.—
120 10|           are ignorant how what is best for you happens to you and
121 10|           might in the easiest and best manner procure the victory
122 10|          dogs or shepherds, or the best and most perfect masters;
123 10|     noblest interests, and are the best of guardians, are inferior
124 11|            a ridiculous thing, the best men everywhere to keep taverns

127 11|         whole, considering what is best both for the state and for
128 11|        together do what they think best in these matters; if there
129 11|      Megillus and Cleinias, in the best and fairest manner that
130 12|         endeavour to divide to the best of our power the greater
