  7 Repub|         Thrasymachus says that the life of the unjust is more advantageous
  8 Repub|           truly? And which sort of life, Glaucon, do you prefer? ~
  9 Repub|             I for my part deem the life of the just to be the more
 10 Repub|          have a better and happier life than the unjust is a further
 11 Repub|        less than the rule of human life. ~Proceed. ~I will proceed
 12 Repub|           To no other. ~And is not life to be reckoned among the
 13 Repub|       reason in this view, for the life of the unjust is after all
 14 Repub|            all better far than the life of the just-if what they
 15 Repub|           I will praise the unjust life to the utmost of my power,
 16 Repub|        form a real judgment of the life of the just and unjust,
 17 Repub|          be imagined in a state of life the opposite of the former.
 18 Repub|            tracing out the sort of life which awaits either of them.
 19 Repub|        said to unite in making the life of the unjust better than
 20 Repub|         the unjust better than the life of the just. ~I was going

 23 Repub|         both with gods and men, in life and after death, as the
 24 Repub|          who have spent your whole life in the consideration of
 25 Repub|          which is the condition of life and existence. ~Certainly. ~
 26 Repub|          what will be their way of life, now that we have thus established
 27 Repub|             and bequeath a similar life to their children after
 28 Repub|           ordinary conveniences of life. People who are to be comfortable
 29 Repub|            with the simpler way of life. They will be for adding

 31 Repub|         few are the goods of human life, and many are the evils,
 32 Repub|          to play a serious part in life, and at the same time to
 33 Repub|            and continuing far into life, at length grow into habits
 34 Repub|          courageous and harmonious life; and when we have found
 35 Repub|            are to do their work in life, must they not make these
 36 Repub|            should continue through life. Now my belief is-and this
 37 Repub|       knowing that so to order his life as to be able to do without
 38 Repub|           indolence and a habit of life such as we have been describing,
 39 Repub|     question, he passed his entire life as a valetudinarian; he
 40 Repub|          that he sees no good in a life which is spent in nursing

 42 Repub|       profit would there be in his life if he were deprived of his
 43 Repub|         constitution and habits of life, had a definite ailment;
 44 Repub|            speaking, and his whole life is passed in warbling and
 45 Repub|           those who in their whole life show the greatest eagerness
 46 Repub|            and youth and in mature life, has come out of the trial
 47 Repub|             he shall be honored in life and death, and shall receive
 48 Repub|          what will be their way of life, if they are to realize
 49 Repub|         they will pass their whole life in much greater terror of
 50 Repub|       festival, who are enjoying a life of revelry, not of citizens
 51 Repub|          will determine his future life. Does not like always attract
 52 Repub|        said; and what a delightful life they lead! they are always
 53 Repub|             and overturn the whole life of man? ~Very true, he said. ~
 54 Repub|        sets in order his own inner life, and is his own master and
 55 Repub|       bodily constitution is gone, life is no longer endurable,
 56 Repub|          undermined and corrupted, life is still worth having to
 57 Repub|         something about the family life of your citizens-how they
 58 Repub|          Glaucon, and the whole of life is the only limit which
 59 Repub|        gentlemen for once in their life to be serious. Not long
 60 Repub|          pursuits or arts of civic life, the nature of a woman differs
 61 Repub|          should be in the prime of life? ~Very true. ~And what is
 62 Repub|           And what is the prime of life? May it not be defined as
 63 Repub|          twenty years in a woman's life, and thirty years in a man'
 64 Repub|        point at which the pulse of life beats quickest, and continue
 65 Repub|          father, if it steals into life, will have been conceived
 66 Repub|          any woman in the prime of life without the sanction of
 67 Repub|            be delivered, and their life will be blessed as the life
 68 Repub|        life will be blessed as the life of Olympic victors and yet
 69 Repub|            the fulness of all that life needs; they receive rewards
 70 Repub|           do you say, now that the life of our protectors is made
 71 Repub|          of Olympic victors-is the life of shoemakers, or any other
 72 Repub|           this safe and harmonious life, which, in our judgment,
 73 Repub|           have the offer of such a life. ~You agree then, I said,
 74 Repub|            to have a common way of life such as we have described-common
 75 Repub|        State have a possibility of life and behold the light of

 77 Repub|     existence, think much of human life? ~He cannot. ~Or can such
 78 Repub|           other so-called goods of life? ~We were quite right. ~

 82 Repub|           only he can live his own life and be pure from evil or
 83 Repub|           themselves off. In after life, when invited by someone
 84 Repub|          service of philosophy; as life advances and the intellect
 85 Repub|            here, and to crown this life with a similar happiness
 86 Repub|            the various elements of life into the image of a man;
 87 Repub|      receive honors and rewards in life and after death. This was
 88 Repub|        either in public or private life must have his eye fixed. ~
 89 Repub|           come out of the brighter life, and is unable to see because
 90 Repub|            we to give them a worse life, when they might have a
 91 Repub|        rulers another and a better life than that of a ruler, and
 92 Repub|          are the true blessings of life. Whereas, if they go to
 93 Repub|          he replied. ~And the only life which looks down upon the
 94 Repub|          which looks down upon the life of political ambition is
 95 Repub|           and another and a better life than that of politics? ~
 96 Repub|       geometry with those of daily life; whereas knowledge is the

100 Repub|     unhappiness of him who leads a life of pure justice or pure
101 Repub|           of his virtue throughout life. ~Good, he said. ~Such,
102 Repub|          nearer view of his way of life, and making comparisons
103 Repub|            by his general habit of life? ~True. ~Do you know where
104 Repub|           are habituated to lead a life of luxury and idleness both

106 Repub|          order for himself his own life as he pleases? ~Clearly. ~
107 Repub|         fancy-is not this a way of life which for the moment is
108 Repub|    essential to the continuance of life? ~Yes. ~But the condiments

110 Repub|             once more in that. His life has neither law nor order;
111 Repub|        equality. ~Yes, I said; his life is motley and manifold and
112 Repub|            in vegetable and animal life, but above all in forms
113 Repub|           murders them, making the life of man to disappear, and
114 Repub|            being, or settle him in life, in order that when his
115 Repub|            halted midway and led a life, not of vulgar and slavish
116 Repub|           into a perfectly lawless life, which by his seducers is

118 Repub|            a picture of his way of life? ~Yes, indeed, he said. ~

120 Repub|       instead of leading a private life has been cursed with the
121 Repub|           offender, would take his life? ~His case will be still
122 Repub|       instead of leading a private life, he is constrained by fortune

125 Repub|           worse life than he whose life you determined to be the
126 Repub|         whole soul of him: all his life long he is beset with fear
127 Repub|    pleasures of each class and the life of each are in dispute,
128 Repub|          the question is not which life is more or less honorable,
129 Repub|      principle has the pleasantest life. ~Unquestionably, he said,
130 Repub|        when he approves of his own life. ~And what does the judge
131 Repub|         the judge affirm to be the life which is next, and the pleasure
132 Repub|          move at random throughout life, but they never pass into

134 Repub|        which nearly concerns human life, if human beings are concerned
135 Repub|        years. ~Yes, he said, human life is certainly concerned with
