  3 1 |          them may be unjust, and the just may be in a minority.~Cleinias.

  5 1 |         pains or fears which we have just been discussing, he thought
  6 1 |          pleasure will overcome them just as fear would overcome the
  7 1 |             to be given. And that is just what we are doing in this
  8 1 |         Athenian. And we were saying just now, that when men are at

 10 1 |            is; you at any rate, were just now saying that you were
 11 1 |              them.~Athenian. That is just what we must endeavour to
 12 2 |            to–day, but are made with just the same skill.~Cleinias.
 13 2 |            very same lips which have just appealed to the Gods before
 14 2 |           and are performed in play; just as when men are sick and
 15 2 | Lacedaemonians, and such as you were just now saying ought to prevail.~

 18 2 |             I say, that while to the just and holy all these things
 19 2 |        unjust, and only evils to the just, and that goods are truly
 20 2 |        gainful is one thing, and the just another; and there are many
 21 2 |          legislators—Is not the most just life also the pleasantest?
 22 2 |      pleasure. For what good can the just man have which is separated
 23 2 |             and the pleasant and the just and the good and the noble
 24 2 |              praises and words, that just and unjust are shadows only,
 25 2 |             appears pleasant and the just most unpleasant; but that
 26 2 |        unpleasant; but that from the just man’s point of view, the
 27 2 |             more unpleasant than the just and holy life?~Cleinias.
 28 2 |             rightness and utility is just the healthfulness of the
 29 2 |            true rightness.~Cleinias. Just so.~Athenian. Thus, too,
 30 2 |            educate and fashion them, just as when they were young,
 31 2 |            as will infuse into him a just and noble fear, which will
 32 3 |         pasture in abundance, except just at first, and in some particular
 33 3 |        temperate and altogether more just? The reason has been already
 34 3 |            sovereignties is the most just?~Cleinias. Very true.~Athenian.
 35 3 |              to receive; but this is just as if one were to command
 36 3 |           the united Assyrian Empire just as we now fear the Great
 37 3 |              rightly used; and I was just laughing at myself.~Megillus.
 38 3 |           this sort of praise appear just: First, in reference to
 39 3 |            lords, that I call folly, just as in the state, when the
 40 3 |            authority which is always just—that of fathers and mothers
 41 3 |           this we affirm to be quite just.~Cleinias. Certainly.~Athenian. “

 45 3 |            singularly fortunate, and just what I at this moment want;
 46 4 |             aim is the attainment of just and noble sentiments: this

 54 4 |              of doctors, which I was just now mentioning. And yet
 55 5 |              Listen, all ye who have just now heard the laws about
 56 5 |     retribution; for justice and the just are noble, whereas retribution

 64 6 |         compelled to use the words, “just,” “equal,” in a secondary

 67 6 |             in the light of day, and just that part of the human race
 68 7 |           may himself adopt the laws just now mentioned, and, adopting
 69 7 |            the middle state, which I just spoke of as gentle and benign,
 70 7 |            to be laid down; they are just ancestral customs of great
 71 7 |             there will follow what I just now called the greatest
 72 7 |        course.~Athenian. And this is just what takes place in almost
 73 7 |              ideas of the lawful, or just, or beautiful, or good,
 74 7 |               Such a life is neither just nor honourable, nor can
 75 7 |       honoured and reverenced by the just and temperate, and are useful
 76 7 |              that they do.~Athenian. Just so, Megillus and Cleinias;
 77 7 |             what I say is true, only just imagine that we had a similar
 78 8 |             objection; but was I not just now saying that I had a

 80 8 |            the stranger may partake, just as he may of the fruits
 81 9 |             honour the noble and the just. Fly from the company of
 82 9 |         beautiful, the good, and the just, and not to teach what they
 83 9 |            all things honourable and just, let us then endeavour to
 84 9 |             agreed that justice, and just men and things and actions,
 85 9 |         person were to maintain that just men, even when they are

 87 9 |           term “all” we must include just sufferings which are the

 89 9 |             The inference is, that a just action in partaking of the
 90 9 |           action in partaking of the just partakes also in the same
 91 9 |      suffering which partakes of the just principle be admitted to
 92 9 |             we admit suffering to be just and yet dishonourable, and
 93 9 |             to justice, will not the just and the honourable disagree?~
 94 9 |          they are, at once, the most just and also the most dishonourable

 99 9 |           not hate the nature of the just—this is quite the noblest
100 9 |        ambiguity, what I mean by the just and unjust, according to
101 9 |              of man, is to be called just; although the hurt done
102 9 |              will not transgress the just rule. That was an excellent
103 9 |             of the house, as we were just now saying, and the guardians
104 10|     generally to the honourable, the just, and to all the highest
105 10|          other truths which you were just now mentioning; he ought

107 10|            Which are they?~Athenian. Just the two, with which our
108 10|           evil, base and honourable, just and unjust, and of all other
109 10|              over the river as I did just now.~Cleinias. Very good;
110 10|             the comparison is a most just one.~Athenian. Surely God
111 10|           orphans take care of them, just as they would of any other
112 11|          those honours which are the just rewards of the soldier;
113 11|          propitious to those who are just in the fulfilment of such
114 11|              own, or if they had not just laws fairly stated about
115 11|           not think, as I was saying just now, that we can possess
116 11|     distinguished. There is the kind just now explicitly mentioned,
117 11|            particular cause, whether just or unjust; and the power
118 12|             take no note of the case just now mentioned; for the bad
119 12|        teaching and learning what is just in auspicious words; and
120 12|         possible. The second kind is just a spectator who comes to
121 12|             different notions of the just and good and honourable
122 12|              knows not that which we just now called health, or a
123 12|            to the assembly which you just now said was to meet at
124 12|             the one to which we were just now alluding?~Cleinias.
125 12|            Cleinias. It is certainly just, as you say, that he who
126 12|          what is the fact?~Athenian. Just the opposite, as I said,
