 2  Meno|        of one kindred; and every soul has a seed or germ which
 3  Meno|        of the immortality of the soul. The proof is very slight,
 4  Meno|        of the immortality of the soul is also carried further,
 5  Meno|      resemble them on earth. The soul evidently possesses such
 6  Meno|      questions, ‘Whence came the soul? What is the origin of evil?’
 7  Meno|      effort more than human. The soul of man is likened to a charioteer
 8  Meno|          which the nature of the soul is described has not much
 9  Meno|      namely, the remark that the soul, which had seen truths in
10  Meno|        of the immortality of the soul. ‘If the soul existed in
11  Meno| immortality of the soul. ‘If the soul existed in a previous state,
12  Meno|        the ideas exist, then the soul exists; if not, not.’ It
13  Meno|        which he has given of the soul and her mansions is exactly

24  Meno|         in general, all that the soul attempts or endures, when
25  Meno|       virtue is a quality of the soul, and is admitted to be profitable,
26  Meno|        none of the things of the soul are either profitable or
27  Meno|      hurtful, accordingly as the soul guides and uses them rightly
