 2 Phileb|  distinction between the infinitely great and the infinitely small,
 3 Phileb|           opinion which indicates a great progress in psychology;
 4 Phileb|           we all know that there is great variety among figures and
 5 Phileb|       opposite attributes, such as ‘great’ and ‘small,’ ‘light’ and ‘
 6 Phileb|         pure white is fairer than a great deal which is impure. But
 7 Phileb|            life and example of some great teacher has cast their thoughts
 8 Phileb| appropriating and making use of. No great effort of mind is required
 9 Phileb|          enlarged by the efforts of great thinkers who have idealized
10 Phileb|           least share, and may be a great sufferer.~And now what objection
11 Phileb|        thinkers. Without Bentham, a great word in the history of philosophy
12 Phileb|       difference, or at any rate no great difference, of opinion about
13 Phileb|            a time on the verge of a great truth, we have gained only
14 Phileb|              and be thankful to the great men who have provided for
15 Phileb|           the greatest number was a great original idea when enunciated
16 Phileb|           refuse to acknowledge the great benefits conferred by it
17 Phileb|           thinker; they have done a great work in their own day, and
18 Phileb|     disguise of self-interest has a great and real influence on the
19 Phileb|           originating, has been the great corrective principle in
20 Phileb|      happiness, is a word which has great influence apart from any
21 Phileb|          its content: it may be for great good or for great evil.
22 Phileb|            be for great good or for great evil. But true religion
23 Phileb|           God and of the World. The great distinction between pure
24 Phileb|          the thought of it were too great for human utterance and
25 Phileb|        Plato, is here analysed with great subtlety. The mean or measure
26 Phileb|         differences between the two great philosophers would be out
27 Phileb|           is sufficient to show how great was the mental activity
28 Phileb|            will be found to present great differences. But even admitting
29 Phileb|           and even opposing them as great and small, light and heavy,
30 Phileb|              they are the source of great perplexity if ill decided,
31 Phileb|           where shall we begin this great and multifarious battle,
32 Phileb|            I did; but I am now in a great strait, and I must entreat
33 Phileb|            the entire heaven and in great provinces of the heaven,
34 Phileb|        feeling of pleasure or pain, great or small?~PROTARCHUS: Certainly
35 Phileb|             a state; it will make a great difference in our judgment
36 Phileb|         degree of pleasure, whether great or small, was thought to
37 Phileb|      Certainly not—there would be a great impropriety in the assumption
38 Phileb|             qualities, for they are great or small, and have various
39 Phileb|    PROTARCHUS: There must be a very great difference, between them.~
40 Phileb|             by reason of some other great corruption to which they
41 Phileb|        SOCRATES: If we say that the great changes produce pleasures
42 Phileb|             and see that there is a great difference between them;
43 Phileb|             others again which have great power and appear in many
44 Phileb|            excess have measure; the great, the excessive, whether
45 Phileb|             fairer and truer than a great deal that is mixed.~PROTARCHUS:
46 Phileb|             truer and fairer than a great pleasure or a great amount

49 Phileb|    absurdities, Socrates.~SOCRATES: Great, indeed; and there is yet
50 Phileb|             there is, as you say, a great difference among the votaries
