 2 Phaedo|         death is to be accounted a good? Well, (1) according to
 3 Phaedo|        other gods who are wise and good, and perhaps to better friends;
 4 Phaedo|         philosopher has notions of good and evil unlike those of
 5 Phaedo|            while on her way to the good and wise God! She has been
 6 Phaedo|         the Athenians have thought good to sentence him to death,
 7 Phaedo|          death, and he has thought good to await his sentence. Had
 8 Phaedo|          and then rewarded for the good which they have done. Those
 9 Phaedo|          body, has reason to be of good hope at the approach of
10 Phaedo|           wicked ‘may not have too good a bargain.’ For the annihilation
11 Phaedo|            reason, to think of the good and wise only as existing
12 Phaedo|    benevolence? Even more than the good they have need of another
13 Phaedo|         work together with him for good, but we are very far from
14 Phaedo|    suffering torments, or that the good are singing the praises
15 Phaedo|            wicked, and who are the good, whom we venture to divide
16 Phaedo|            nearer to them, nor the good in an ecstasy at the joys
17 Phaedo|            a progress from evil to good, from ignorance to knowledge.
18 Phaedo|          evil too inseparable from good (compare Lysis); not always

21 Phaedo|         better. And these germs of good are often found to be developed
22 Phaedo|        words of the Timaeus, he is good, and therefore he desires
23 Phaedo|         evil, or rather degrees of good, which are otherwise called
24 Phaedo|          evil. For all progress is good relatively to the past,
25 Phaedo|           the light of the future. Good and evil are relative terms,
26 Phaedo|      negative aspect of degrees of good. Of the absolute goodness
27 Phaedo|      transition from one degree of good or evil to another. The
28 Phaedo|           the human mind to regard good and evil both as relative
29 Phaedo|            and not of disorder, of good and not of evil. Or rather,
30 Phaedo|       belief in God. If there is a good and wise God, then there
31 Phaedo|       perfection, then there is no good and wise God. We cannot

33 Phaedo|          some better thing for the good than for the evil.’ They

38 Phaedo|     revelation of beauty, like the good in the Republic, is the

40 Phaedo|           Cebes, and bid him be of good cheer; say that I would
41 Phaedo|       things which are evil may be good at certain times and to
42 Phaedo|           not to run away from the good, and that there would be
43 Phaedo|          you acknowledge to be our good masters.~Yes, replied Socrates;
44 Phaedo|        other gods who are wise and good (of which I am as certain
45 Phaedo|        might have done, for I have good hope that there is yet something
46 Phaedo|           far better thing for the good than for the evil.~But do
47 Phaedo|    philosopher has reason to be of good cheer when he is about to
48 Phaedo|        hope to obtain the greatest good in the other world. And
49 Phaedo|       indifferent about them is as good as dead.~That is also true.~
50 Phaedo|       absolute beauty and absolute good?~Of course.~But did you
51 Phaedo|          that I shall equally find good masters and friends in another
52 Phaedo|           speaking, there would be good reason to hope, Socrates,
53 Phaedo|   opposites? I mean such things as good and evil, just and unjust—
54 Phaedo|            existence, and that the good souls have a better portion
55 Phaedo|          And where shall we find a good charmer of our fears, Socrates,
56 Phaedo|         place, Cebes, and has many good men, and there are barbarous
57 Phaedo|         else should I please?~Very good.~Must we not, said Socrates,
58 Phaedo|       noble, and on her way to the good and wise God, whither, if
59 Phaedo|           be the souls, not of the good, but of the evil, which
60 Phaedo|       prophecy, and anticipate the good things of another world,
61 Phaedo|  magistrates of Athens allow.~Very good, Socrates, said Simmias;
62 Phaedo|          he on a couch which was a good deal higher. He stroked
63 Phaedo|       believes that no one has any good in him at all. You must

65 Phaedo| intelligence and virtue, and to be good, and the other to have folly
66 Phaedo|          creatures will be equally good?~I agree with you, Socrates,
67 Phaedo|            a similar fate.~Nay, my good friend, said Socrates, let
68 Phaedo|         best for each and what was good for all. These hopes I would
69 Phaedo|           more containing than the good;—of the obligatory and containing
70 Phaedo|            containing power of the good they think nothing; and
71 Phaedo|           argument would have held good of fire and heat and any
72 Phaedo|            wicked would have had a good bargain in dying, for they
73 Phaedo|        Tartarus, some at a point a good deal lower than that at
74 Phaedo|       receive the rewards of their good deeds, each of them according
75 Phaedo|             I say, let a man be of good cheer about his soul, who
76 Phaedo|           working harm rather than good, has sought after the pleasures
77 Phaedo|          the soul with evil. Be of good cheer, then, my dear Crito,

79 Phaedo|            and said: I return your good wishes, and will do as you
80 Phaedo|       would talk to me, and was as good to me as could be, and now
