 1 Repub|           that which is the proper virtue of man? ~Certainly. ~And
 2 Repub|         Certainly. ~And that human virtue is justice? ~To be sure. ~
 3 Repub|         generally, can the good by virtue make them bad? ~Assuredly
 4 Repub|         Would you call one of them virtue and the other vice? ~Certainly. ~
 5 Repub|        that you would call justice virtue and injustice vice? ~What
 6 Repub|          injustice with wisdom and virtue, and justice with the opposite. ~
 7 Repub|          injustice with wisdom and virtue. ~You have guessed most
 8 Repub|            agreed that justice was virtue and wisdom, and injustice
 9 Repub|         identified with wisdom and virtue, is easily shown to be stronger
10 Repub|        consider whether justice is virtue and wisdom, or evil and
11 Repub|          whether it is or is not a virtue, nor can I say whether the
12 Repub| drunkenness is the highest meed of virtue. Some extend their rewards
13 Repub|         declaring that justice and virtue are honorable, but grievous
14 Repub|       their mode of speaking about virtue and the gods: they say that
15 Repub| dwelling-place is near. But before virtue the gods have set toil," ~
16 Repub|           hear all this said about virtue and vice, and the way in
17 Repub|            a picture and shadow of virtue to be the vestibule and
18 Repub|         sometimes spoken of as the virtue of an individual, and sometimes
19 Repub|   individual, and sometimes as the virtue of a State. ~True, he replied. ~
20 Repub|          to be deficient either in virtue or beauty. ~Very true, Adeimantus;
21 Repub|         admit the pure imitator of virtue. ~Yes, I said, Adeimantus;
22 Repub|            sisters of goodness and virtue and bear their likeness. ~
23 Repub|          pain. ~Or any affinity to virtue in general? ~None whatever. ~
24 Repub|      livelihood he should practise virtue? ~Nay, he said, I think
25 Repub|      ourselves: Is the practise of virtue obligatory on the rich man,
26 Repub|        inimical to the practice of virtue. ~Yes, indeed, I replied,
27 Repub|      practising or making trial of virtue in the higher sense is absolutely
28 Repub|         into the company of men of virtue, who have the experience
29 Repub|        other; for vice cannot know virtue too, but a virtuous nature,
30 Repub|        acquire a knowledge both of virtue and vice: the virtuous,
31 Repub|          will neither impair their virtue as guardians, nor tempt
32 Repub|           IV: WEALTH, POVERTY, AND VIRTUE~(ADEIMANTUS, SOCRATES.) ~
33 Repub|         city will be courageous in virtue of a portion of herself
34 Repub|            can at present see, the virtue of temperance has more of
35 Repub|        think that this is the only virtue which remains in the State
36 Repub|             Yes, he said. ~And the virtue which enters into this competition
37 Repub|            in the same way, and in virtue of the same quality which
38 Repub|         again and again how and by virtue of what quality a man will
39 Repub|         Exactly so, he said. ~Then virtue is the health, and beauty,
40 Repub|         not good practices lead to virtue, and evil practices to vice? ~
41 Repub|            act justly and practise virtue, whether seen or unseen
42 Repub|         not to acquire justice and virtue, or to escape from injustice
43 Repub|         may look down and see that virtue is one, but that the forms
44 Repub|       woman, or which a man has by virtue of his sex, but the gifts
45 Repub|         guardians strip, for their virtue will be their robe, and
46 Repub|           them in no particular of virtue, also know the very truth
47 Repub|           grow and mature into all virtue, but, if sown and planted
48 Repub|           had no other training in virtue but that which is supplied
49 Repub|         speak, my friend, of human virtue only; what is more than
50 Repub|        temperance, and every civil virtue? ~Anything but unskilful. ~
51 Repub|            habit and exercise, the virtue of wisdom more than anything
52 Repub|            silver and gold, but in virtue and wisdom, which are the
53 Repub|      magnificence, and every other virtue, should we not carefully
54 Repub|          defective in some part of virtue, is in a figure lame or
55 Repub|            nature, inclined toward virtue and the ancient order of
56 Repub|           not single-minded toward virtue, having lost his best guardian. ~
57 Repub|            the only saviour of his virtue throughout life. ~Good,
58 Repub|     fortune the less they think of virtue; for when riches and virtue
59 Repub|        virtue; for when riches and virtue are placed together in the
60 Repub|          are honored in the State, virtue and the virtuous are dishonored. ~
61 Repub|            passions by an enforced virtue; not making them see that
62 Repub|          most people; yet the true virtue of a unanimous and harmonious
63 Repub|       pauper to the cultivation of virtue. ~Yes, quite as indifferent. ~
64 Repub|          the pursuit of wisdom and virtue, may be rightly called unnecessary? ~
65 Repub|            as State is to State in virtue and happiness, so is man
66 Repub|            how do they stand as to virtue? ~They are the opposite
67 Repub|         enter, by the criterion of virtue and vice, happiness and
68 Repub|         all the different kinds of virtue? Put the question in this
69 Repub|            who know not wisdom and virtue, and are always busy with
70 Repub|          of life and in beauty and virtue? ~Immeasurably greater. ~
71 Repub|         arts and all things human, virtue as well as vice, and divine
72 Repub|           truth in what you say of virtue, and not in the third-not
73 Repub|     imitators; they copy images of virtue and the like, but the truth
74 Repub|          increase in happiness and virtue. ~I cannot deny it. ~Therefore,
75 Repub|             he neglect justice and virtue? ~Yes, he said; I have been
76 Repub|            and rewards which await virtue. ~What, are there any greater
77 Repub|          and converse she seeks in virtue of her near kindred with
78 Repub|        likeness, by the pursuit of virtue? ~Yes, he said; if he is
79 Repub|      chooses shall be his destiny. Virtue is free, and as a man honors
80 Repub|    severally and collectively upon virtue; he should know what the
81 Repub|        well-ordered State, but his virtue was a matter of habit only,
82 Repub|           follow after justice and virtue always, considering that
