Dialogue

  1 Repub|              men, and we will have a good talk. Stay then, and do
  2 Repub|          insist, that we must. ~Very good, I replied. ~Accordingly
  3 Repub|           are fled away; there was a good time once, but now that
  4 Repub|              since, and they seem as good to me now as at the time
  5 Repub|              may be made; for to the good poor man old age cannot
  6 Repub|           say to every man, but to a good man, is, that he has had
  7 Repub|            friend ought always to do good to a friend, and never evil. ~
  8 Repub|       justice is the art which gives good to friends and evil to enemies. ~
  9 Repub|           And who is best able to do good to his friends and evil
 10 Repub|             do harm to his enemy and good to his friend? ~In going
 11 Repub|      inference. ~Then justice is not good for much. But let us consider
 12 Repub|         Certainly. ~Then he who is a good keeper of anything is also
 13 Repub|         keeper of anything is also a good thief? ~That, I suppose,
 14 Repub|              Then if the just man is good at keeping money, he is
 15 Repub|              at keeping money, he is good at stealing it. ~That is
 16 Repub|         practised, however, "for the good of friends and for the harm
 17 Repub|            love those whom he thinks good, and to hate those whom
 18 Repub|              persons often err about good and evil: many who are not
 19 Repub|           and evil: many who are not good seem to be so, and conversely? ~
 20 Repub|              true. ~Then to them the good will be enemies and the
 21 Repub|          they will be right in doing good to the evil and evil to
 22 Repub|             the evil and evil to the good? ~Clearly. ~But the good
 23 Repub|             good? ~Clearly. ~But the good are just and would not do
 24 Repub|          suppose that we ought to do good to the just and harm to
 25 Repub|             harm to them; and he has good enemies whom he ought to
 26 Repub|              to be or who is thought good. ~And how is the error to
 27 Repub|            who is, as well as seems, good; and that he who seems only
 28 Repub|            who seems only and is not good, only seems to be and is
 29 Repub|             You would argue that the good are our friends and the
 30 Repub|         first, that it is just to do good to our friends and harm
 31 Repub|        further say: It is just to do good to our friends when they
 32 Repub|            our friends when they are good, and harm to our enemies
 33 Repub|               that is to say, in the good qualities of horses, not
 34 Repub|              are deteriorated in the good qualities of dogs, and not
 35 Repub|          speaking generally, can the good by virtue make them bad? ~
 36 Repub|            Clearly not. ~Nor can the good harm anyone? ~Impossible. ~
 37 Repub|     Impossible. ~And the just is the good? ~Certainly. ~Then to injure
 38 Repub|         repayment of debts, and that good is the debt which a just
 39 Repub|           say that justice is "doing good to your friends and harm
 40 Repub|            get at the truth? Nay, my good friend, we are most willing
 41 Repub|            of someone else. ~Why, my good friend, I said, how can
 42 Repub|            therefore equally for our good who are weaker than he is,
 43 Repub|            argument. ~Not at all, my good sir, I said; I am trying
 44 Repub|              this he assented with a good deal of reluctance. ~Then,
 45 Repub|         physician, considers his own good in what he prescribes, but
 46 Repub|          what he prescribes, but the good of his patient; for the
 47 Repub|             with a view to their own good and not to the good of himself
 48 Repub|              own good and not to the good of himself or his master;
 49 Repub|             are in reality another's good; that is to say, the interest
 50 Repub|             with a view to their own good, but like a mere diner or
 51 Repub|              concerned only with the good of his subjects; he has
 52 Repub|          life, could only regard the good of his flock or subjects;
 53 Repub|            art gives us a particular good and not merely a general
 54 Repub|               Or because a man is in good health when he receives
 55 Repub|           admitted, I said, that the good of each art is specially
 56 Repub|                Then, if there be any good which all artists have in
 57 Repub|            not the stronger-to their good they attend and not to the
 58 Repub|           they attend and not to the good of the superior. ~And this
 59 Repub|              no attraction for them; good men do not wish to be openly
 60 Repub|              I conceive, induces the good to take office, not because
 61 Repub|             themselves, or indeed as good. For there is reason to
 62 Repub|            were composed entirely of good men, then to avoid office
 63 Repub|            in our own persons. ~Very good, he said. ~And which method
 64 Repub|         appear to you to be wise and good? ~Yes, he said; at any rate
 65 Repub|            to do: But will you be so good as answer yet one more question?
 66 Repub|        statement. ~And the unjust is good and wise, and the just is
 67 Repub|            and the just is neither? ~Good again, he said. ~And is
 68 Repub|             unjust like the wise and good, and the just unlike them? ~
 69 Repub|         Certainly, he replied. ~Very good, Thrasymachus, I said; and
 70 Repub|      musician is foolish. ~And he is good in as far as he is wise,
 71 Repub|                Yes. ~And the wise is good? ~True. ~Then the wise and
 72 Repub|             True. ~Then the wise and good will not desire to gain
 73 Repub|            just is like the wise and good, and the unjust like the
 74 Repub|            turned out to be wise and good, and the unjust evil and
 75 Repub|              and I will answer "Very good," as they say to story-telling
 76 Repub|            to quarrel with you. ~How good of you, I said; but I should
 77 Repub|              superintendent, and the good soul a good ruler? ~Yes,
 78 Repub|  superintendent, and the good soul a good ruler? ~Yes, necessarily. ~
 79 Repub|             money-making-these do us good but we regard them as disagreeable;
 80 Repub|              necessity, but not as a good. And thirdly, I will argue
 81 Repub|             injustice is, by nature, good; to suffer injustice, evil;
 82 Repub|             evil is greater than the good. And so when men have both
 83 Repub|           two, is tolerated not as a good, but as the lesser evil,
 84 Repub|             natures deem to be their good, and are only diverted into
 85 Repub|           thinks that justice is any good to him individually, but
 86 Repub|          says, to be and not to seem good. There must be no seeming,
 87 Repub|        others; for they throw in the good opinion of the gods, and
 88 Repub|          calamity and misery to many good men, and good and happiness
 89 Repub|         misery to many good men, and good and happiness to the wicked.
 90 Repub|              justice is the greatest good, and injustice the greatest
 91 Repub|          which makes the one to be a good and the other an evil to
 92 Repub|            that justice is another's good and the interest of the
 93 Repub|           only: I mean the essential good and evil which justice and
 94 Repub|          which makes the one to be a good and the other an evil, whether
 95 Repub|               and would require very good eyes. Seeing then, I said,
 96 Repub|           exchange will be for their good. ~Very true. ~Then, I said,
 97 Repub|       agriculture, if they are to be good for anything. Neither will
 98 Repub|             in peace and health to a good old age, and bequeath a
 99 Repub|              as yet whether war does good or harm, thus much we may
100 Repub|           and then he would become a good workman. Now nothing can
101 Repub|              in the world would be a good dice or draught player who
102 Repub|            implement of war become a good fighter all in a day, whether
103 Repub|              True. ~He will not be a good guardian who is wanting
104 Repub|              must infer that to be a good guardian is impossible. ~
105 Repub|             friend the dog is a very good one: you know that well-bred
106 Repub|              harm, nor the other any good. Did this never strike you
107 Repub|             he who is to be a really good and noble guardian of the
108 Repub|             tale of fiction which is good, and reject the bad; and
109 Repub|          Right. ~And is he not truly good? and must he not be represented
110 Repub|            such? ~Certainly. ~And no good thing is hurtful? ~No, indeed. ~
111 Repub|          evil? ~Impossible. ~And the good is advantageous? ~Yes. ~
112 Repub|         follows, therefore, that the good is not the cause of all
113 Repub|            of all things, but of the good only? ~Assuredly. ~Then
114 Repub|       Assuredly. ~Then God, if he be good, is not the author of all
115 Repub|          many are the evils, and the good is to be attributed to God
116 Repub|           Zeus, full of lots, one of good, the other of evil lots," ~
117 Repub|         fortune, at other times with good;" ~but that he to whom is
118 Repub|              who is the dispenser of good and evil to us." ~And if
119 Repub|              God; but that God being good is the author of evil to
120 Repub|         author of all things, but of good only. ~That will do, he
121 Repub|               houses, garments: when good and well made, they are
122 Repub|             Then everything which is good, whether made by art or
123 Repub|            our principle is that the good man will not consider death
124 Repub|          death terrible to any other good man who is his comrade. ~
125 Repub|            not even to women who are good for anything), or to men
126 Repub|        allowed to lie for the public good. But nobody else should
127 Repub|              to have given his pupil good counsel when he told him
128 Repub|             are often happy, and the good miserable; and that injustice
129 Repub|      sacrifice, and praying that his good deeds might be returned
130 Repub|            say that they ought to be good men, to imitate a woman,
131 Repub|           may be employed by a truly good man when he has anything
132 Repub|            answered, that a just and good man in the course of a narration
133 Repub|          saying or action of another good man-I should imagine that
134 Repub|              to play the part of the good man when he is acting firmly
135 Repub|           when he is performing some good action; at other times he
136 Repub|              as a joke, but in right good earnest, and before a large
137 Repub|             of grace is an effect of good or bad rhythm. ~None at
138 Repub|          None at all. ~And also that good and bad rhythm naturally
139 Repub|            naturally assimilate to a good and bad style; and that
140 Repub|            and harmony and grace and good rhythm depend on simplicity-I
141 Repub|             express the image of the good in their works, on pain,
142 Repub|              sounds, and receive the good in everything; and beauty,
143 Repub|           receives into his soul the good, and becomes noble and good,
144 Repub|          good, and becomes noble and good, he will justly blame and
145 Repub|           own belief is-not that the good body by any bodily excellence
146 Repub|            on the contrary, that the good soul, by her own excellence,
147 Repub|       outlines of the subject. ~Very good. ~That they must abstain
148 Repub|             our music, is simple and good; and especially the military
149 Repub|           that a man who is to be in good condition should take nothing
150 Repub|             ill, and that he sees no good in a life which is spent
151 Repub|           was not designed for their good, and though they were as
152 Repub|           you: Ought there not to be good physicians in a State, and
153 Repub|             number of constitutions, good and bad? and are not the
154 Repub|             I said, I too would have good judges and good physicians.
155 Repub|           would have good judges and good physicians. But do you know
156 Repub|             do you know whom I think good? ~Will you tell me? ~I will,
157 Repub|              the reason why in youth good men often appear to be simple,
158 Repub|            replied, and he will be a good man (which is my answer
159 Repub|            your question); for he is good who has a good soul. But
160 Repub|             for he is good who has a good soul. But the cunning and
161 Repub|           are more numerous than the good, and he meets with them
162 Repub|             true, he said. ~Then the good and wise judge whom we are
163 Repub|              softened beyond what is good for him. ~Yet surely, I
164 Repub|       accomplished, but if he have a good deal, then the power of
165 Repub|              be no difficulty. ~Very good, I said; then what is the
166 Repub|       himself, and that of which the good or evil fortune is supposed
167 Repub|      eagerness to do what is for the good of their country, and the
168 Repub|              unwillingly deprived of good, and willingly of evil?
169 Repub|           and to possess the truth a good? and you would agree that
170 Repub|              a noble bearing always, good guardians of themselves
171 Repub|              bound to advise for her good, and to defend her against
172 Repub|         their own brothers. ~You had good reason, he said, to be ashamed
173 Repub|            which they are to be such good guardians, as of the purity
174 Repub|               And would not a really good education furnish the best
175 Repub|          their own, they will become good housekeepers and husbandmen
176 Repub|           ordered with a view to the good of the whole we should be
177 Repub|              the proper limit. ~Very good, he said. ~Here then, I
178 Repub|         which we are prescribing, my good Adeimantus, are not, as
179 Repub|              force like a wheel. For good nurture and education implant
180 Repub|        nurture and education implant good constitutions, and these
181 Repub|             constitutions, and these good constitutions taking root
182 Repub|       constitutions taking root in a good education improve more and
183 Repub|            And when they have made a good beginning in play, and by
184 Repub|             have gained the habit of good order, then this habit of
185 Repub|              is reached which may be good, and may be the reverse
186 Repub|            and may be the reverse of good? ~That is not to be denied. ~
187 Repub|            impose laws about them on good men; what regulations are
188 Repub|            do not seem to be in your good graces. ~Assuredly not. ~
189 Repub|            is held to be a great and good statesman-do not these States
190 Repub|            them; for are they not as good as a play, trying their
191 Repub|              remind me, I will be as good as my word; but you must
192 Repub|           will be the residue? ~Very good. ~If there were four things,
193 Repub|             said to be wise as being good in counsel? ~Very true. ~
194 Repub|            counsel? ~Very true. ~And good counsel is clearly a kind
195 Repub|           city the title of wise and good in counsel? ~Certainly not;
196 Repub|              knowledge? ~The name of good in counsel and truly wise. ~
197 Repub|             is about as much as I am good for. ~Offer up a prayer
198 Repub|             quarry will not escape. ~Good news, he said. ~Truly, I
199 Repub|           fellows. ~Why so? ~Why, my good sir, at the beginning of
200 Repub|        accordingly we constructed as good a one as we could, knowing
201 Repub|             knowing well that in the good State justice would be found.
202 Repub|       proverb holds that hard is the good. ~Very true, I said; and
203 Repub|            the same, but different. ~Good. ~For example, I said, can
204 Repub|              desires drink only, but good drink, or food only, but
205 Repub|             drink, or food only, but good food; for good is the universal
206 Repub|             only, but good food; for good is the universal object
207 Repub|          necessarily be thirst after good drink; and the same is true
208 Repub|              or that the sciences of good and evil are therefore good
209 Repub|          good and evil are therefore good and evil; but only that,
210 Repub|              much nor little, nor of good nor bad, nor of any particular
211 Repub|        harmonious condition just and good action, and the knowledge
212 Repub|         exact truth, Socrates. ~Very good; and if we were to affirm
213 Repub|             same? ~True. ~And do not good practices lead to virtue,
214 Repub|            ADEIMANTUS.) ~SUCH is the good and true City or State,
215 Repub|          true City or State, and the good and true man is of the same
216 Repub|           influence on the State for good or for evil. And now, since
217 Repub|              or hostile. ~I said: My good friend, I suppose that you
218 Repub|             standard but that of the good. ~Very true, he replied. ~
219 Repub|             will you make for us, my good sir, against anyone who
220 Repub|            one has a body which is a good servant to his mind, while
221 Repub|        education which makes a man a good guardian will make a woman
222 Repub|         guardian will make a woman a good guardian; for their original
223 Repub|              of a State should be as good as possible? ~There can
224 Repub|            disputed. ~I think that a good many doubts may be raised
225 Repub|          they have of not doing much good to a capacity which was
226 Repub|             capacity which was never good for much. Now I myself am
227 Repub|           although they are all of a good sort, are not some better
228 Repub|              general? ~Undoubtedly. ~Good heavens! my dear friend,
229 Repub|         practitioner is deemed to be good enough; but when medicine
230 Repub|             deceit necessary for the good of their subjects: we were
231 Repub|            take the offspring of the good parents to the pen or fold,
232 Repub|           and more useful than their good and useful parents, whereas
233 Repub|           State-what is the greatest good, and what is the greatest
234 Repub|     description has the stamp of the good or of the evil? ~By all
235 Repub|             to reign? or any greater good than the bond of unity? ~
236 Repub|             citizens experiences any good or evil, the whole State
237 Repub|        fundamental principles. ~Very good. ~Our State, like every
238 Repub|           not likely to receive much good either at the hands of God
239 Repub|          admitted to be the greatest good, as was implied in our comparison
240 Repub|           the source of the greatest good to the State? ~Certainly. ~
241 Repub|        matter of necessity. ~That is good, he said. ~Yes; and there
242 Repub|               and there is a further good in the law; viz., that if
243 Repub|          always foreseen; there is a good deal of chance about them? ~
244 Repub|           upon the earth, authors of good, averters of evil, the guardians
245 Repub|             are deemed pre-eminently good, whether they die from age
246 Repub|               if we care to maintain good feeling with other Hellenes;
247 Repub|             to the barbarians? ~Very good, he said. ~And therefore
248 Repub|             will not the citizens be good and civilized? ~Yes, very
249 Repub|        previous enactments, are very good. ~But still I must say,
250 Repub|      feasible, would do all sorts of good to the State. I will add,
251 Repub|          only give you good-will and good advice, and, perhaps, I
252 Repub|             drinking any wine. ~Very good. ~And the same is true of
253 Repub|             power of judging what is good and what is not, such a
254 Repub|             a bad appetite and not a good one? ~Very true, he said. ~
255 Repub|              of truth. ~That is also good, he said; but I should like
256 Repub|              And of just and unjust, good and evil, and of every other
257 Repub|             certainly offer him some good advice, he replied. ~Come,
258 Repub|        Nothing can be more certain. ~Good. But if there be anything
259 Repub|              And will you be so very good as to answer one more question?
260 Repub|              be our guardians. ~Very good. ~Neither, I said, can there
261 Repub|            philosopher should have a good memory? ~Certainly. ~And
262 Repub|         pursue who has the gift of a good memory, and is quick to
263 Repub|             govern. The ruler who is good for anything ought not to
264 Repub|               And the reason why the good are useless has now been
265 Repub|             greater enemy to what is good than to what is not. ~Very
266 Repub|            capable of any very great good or very great evil? ~There
267 Repub|              not have the notions of good and evil which the public
268 Repub|         Indeed they do; and in right good earnest. ~Now what opinion
269 Repub|       whatever is saved and comes to good is saved by the power of
270 Repub|            and that dishonorable, or good or evil, or just or unjust,
271 Repub|          tempers of the great brute. Good he pronounces to be that
272 Repub|              about the honorable and good. Did you ever hear any of
273 Repub|             and also of the greatest good when the tide carries them
274 Repub|           her votaries that some are good for nothing, and that the
275 Repub|           his life without doing any good either to himself or others,
276 Repub|              with risk; "hard is the good," as men say. ~Still, he
277 Repub|               is akin to the highest good? ~Neither can they doubt
278 Repub| circumstances, will not be perfectly good and wise if any ever was?
279 Repub|             is not impossible. ~Very good. ~And so with pain and toil
280 Repub|           been told that the idea of good is the highest knowledge,
281 Repub|             if we do not possess the good? or the knowledge of all
282 Repub|            affirm pleasure to be the good, but the finer sort of wits
283 Repub|              to say knowledge of the good? ~How ridiculous! ~Yes,
284 Repub|            with our ignorance of the good, and then presume our knowledge
285 Repub|              knowledge of it-for the good they define to be knowledge
286 Repub|        define to be knowledge of the good, just as if we understood
287 Repub|              when they use the term "good" -this is of course ridiculous. ~
288 Repub|              who make pleasure their good are in equal perplexity;
289 Repub|             bad pleasures as well as good. ~Certainly. ~And therefore
290 Repub|             acknowledge that bad and good are the same? ~True. ~There
291 Repub|             seek; in the case of the good, appearance is despised
292 Repub|            therefore losing whatever good there is in other things-of
293 Repub|            and the just are likewise good will be but a sorry guardian
294 Repub|           one who is ignorant of the good will have a true knowledge
295 Repub|             supreme principle of the good to be knowledge or pleasure,
296 Repub|           such an explanation of the good as you have already given
297 Repub|             the actual nature of the good, for to reach what is now
298 Repub|              But of the child of the good who is likest him, I would
299 Repub|          many a beautiful and many a good, and so of other things
300 Repub|      absolute beauty and an absolute good, and of other things to
301 Repub|              I call the child of the good, whom the good begat in
302 Repub|          child of the good, whom the good begat in his own likeness,
303 Repub|            things of sight, what the good is in the intellectual world
304 Repub|            have you term the idea of good, and this you will deem
305 Repub|             be deemed to be like the good, but not the good; the good
306 Repub|           like the good, but not the good; the good has a place of
307 Repub|          good, but not the good; the good has a place of honor yet
308 Repub|             say that pleasure is the good? ~God forbid, I replied;
309 Repub|       Certainly. ~In like manner the good may be said to be not only
310 Repub|             and essence, and yet the good is not essence, but far
311 Repub|              grows or is made. ~Very good. ~Would you not admit that
312 Repub|             of knowledge the idea of good appears last of all, and
313 Repub|               in other words, of the good. ~Very true. ~And must there
314 Repub|             until they arrive at the good; but when they have ascended
315 Repub|           the beautiful and just and good in their truth. And thus
316 Repub|             in their eyes is a great good. Whereas the truth is that
317 Repub|              are to snatch the chief good, order there can never be;
318 Repub|         nothing which tended to that good which you are now seeking. ~
319 Repub|           and a middle finger. ~Very good. ~You may suppose that they
320 Repub|            the vision of the idea of good; and thither, as I was saying,
321 Repub|         heaven! he said; and 'tis as good as a play to hear them talking
322 Repub|            view to the beautiful and good; but if pursued in any other
323 Repub|           perception of the absolute good, he at last finds himself
324 Repub|             of the conception of the good? ~Until the person is able
325 Repub|        define rationally the idea of good, and unless he can run the
326 Repub|            knows neither the idea of good nor any other good; he apprehends
327 Repub|           idea of good nor any other good; he apprehends only a shadow,
328 Repub|              in search should have a good memory, and be an unwearied
329 Repub|          mind. ~Very true. ~Then, my good friend, I said, do not use
330 Repub|              he were of an unusually good disposition, he would trouble
331 Repub|            dishonorable, or just and good any more than the reverse,
332 Repub|              and behold the absolute good; for that is the pattern
333 Repub|            and ruling for the public good, not as though they were
334 Repub|           said that such a State was good, and that the man was good
335 Repub|           good, and that the man was good who answered to it, although,
336 Repub|             we rightly call just and good, we have already described. ~
337 Repub|           which has control over the good and evil of births. For
338 Repub|             describe is a mixture of good and evil. ~Why, there is
339 Repub|          culture; and he should be a good listener but no speaker.
340 Repub|             virtue throughout life. ~Good, he said. ~Such, I said,
341 Repub|             of this sort a whit more good to the State for the purposes
342 Repub|         likeness between them. ~Very good. ~First, then, they resemble
343 Repub|             it not on this wise: the good at which such a State aims
344 Repub|             and extravagance, men of good family have often been reduced
345 Repub|       another, "Our warriors are not good for much"? ~Yes, he said,
346 Repub|            of States. ~Yes. ~Yes, my good sir, and there will be no
347 Repub|        nature, there never will be a good man who has not from his
348 Repub|              comes into being. ~Very good, he said. ~Is not this the
349 Repub|          presence, moreover, does no good, and in some cases the reverse
350 Repub|        general notion of them? ~Very good. ~Will not the desire of
351 Repub|              in two ways; it does us good and it is essential to the
352 Repub|      necessary in so far as they are good for health? ~Certainly. ~
353 Repub|            pleasures, the same holds good? ~True. ~And the drone of
354 Repub|             are the satisfactions of good and noble desires, and others
355 Repub|            alike, and that one is as good as another. ~Yes, he said;
356 Repub|             after a sort? ~How? ~The good which oligarchy proposed
357 Repub|            And democracy has her own good, of which the insatiable
358 Repub|            her to dissolution? ~What good? ~Freedom, I replied; which,
359 Repub|             the stranger is quite as good as either. ~Yes, he said,
360 Repub|             the proverb says, are as good as their she-mistresses,
361 Repub|             are to the body. And the good physician and lawgiver of
362 Repub|            wanting to be so kind and good to everyone! ~Of course,
363 Repub|            authority, he will have a good pretext for destroying them
364 Repub|            friend or an enemy who is good for anything. ~He cannot. ~
365 Repub|            his companions, while the good hate and avoid him. ~Of
366 Repub|           that in all of us, even in good men, there is a lawless
367 Repub|              he finds in himself any good opinions or appetites in
368 Repub|            which gave judgment about good and evil, are overthrown
369 Repub|           the people yield, well and good; but if they resist him,
370 Repub|           questions, this respecting good and evil is the greatest. ~
371 Repub|              with them. ~Then if the good and just man be thus superior
372 Repub|            manyheaded monster like a good husbandman, fostering and
373 Repub|              I will speak out. ~Very good, he said. ~Listen to me,
374 Repub|              appearances only. ~Very good, I said, you are coming
375 Repub|              which the others make. ~Good, I said; then you call him
376 Repub|          their arts; and, if he is a good artist, he may deceive children
377 Repub|             things too, for that the good poet cannot compose well
378 Repub|           governed by your help? The good order of Lacedaemon is due

380 Repub|          them and have done them any good? Italy and Sicily boast

396 Repub|          admit that everything has a good and also an evil; as ophthalmia
397 Repub|          nothing else that will; for good certainly will not destroy
