 4 Repub|        as, for example, harmless pleasures and enjoyments, which delight
 5 Repub|       and toilsome; and that the pleasures of vice and injustice are
 6 Repub|          self-control in sensual pleasures? ~True. ~Then we shall approve
 7 Repub|         and again pass them into pleasures, and prove them more thoroughly
 8 Repub|        or controlling of certain pleasures and desires; this is curiously
 9 Repub|         the manifold and complex pleasures and desires and pains are
10 Repub|   described as master of its own pleasures and desires, and master
11 Repub|   appetitive, the ally of sundry pleasures and satisfactions? ~Yes,
12 Repub|       with the fulness of bodily pleasures, as they are termed, the
13 Repub|      where there is community of pleasures and pains-where all the
14 Repub|        that they will have their pleasures and pains in common? ~Yes,
15 Repub|         and children and private pleasures and pains; but all will
16 Repub|        far as may be by the same pleasures and pains because they are
17 Repub|          will be absorbed in the pleasures of the soul, and will hardly

19 Repub|     those labors and dangers and pleasures which we mentioned before,
20 Repub|         admit that there are bad pleasures as well as good. ~Certainly. ~
21 Repub|       severed from those sensual pleasures, such as eating and drinking,
22 Repub|          desires, stealing their pleasures and running away like children
23 Repub|         keeps under by force the pleasures which are of the spending
24 Repub|        which are the unnecessary pleasures? ~I should. ~Are not necessary
25 Repub|       should. ~Are not necessary pleasures those of which we cannot
26 Repub|           Certainly. ~And of the pleasures of love, and all other pleasures,
27 Repub| pleasures of love, and all other pleasures, the same holds good? ~True. ~
28 Repub|          he who was surfeited in pleasures and desires of this sort,
29 Repub|          useless and unnecessary pleasures. ~Yes, he said, the change
30 Repub|          and time on unnecessary pleasures quite as much as on necessary
31 Repub|        that case he balances his pleasures and lives in a sort of equilibrium,
32 Repub|     anyone says to him that some pleasures are the satisfactions of
33 Repub|        RIGHT GOVERNMENT, AND THE PLEASURES OF EACH~(SOCRATES, ADEIMANTUS.) ~
34 Repub|       Certain of the unnecessary pleasures and appetites I conceive
35 Repub|   moderate indulgence in various pleasures. After this manner the democrat
36 Repub|  garlands and wines, and all the pleasures of a dissolute life, now
37 Repub|        there was a succession of pleasures, and the new got the better
38 Repub|         and when that fails, and pleasures are beginning to swarm in
39 Repub|     these three principles three pleasures correspond; also three desires
40 Repub|        to say that the loves and pleasures of this third part were
41 Repub|          sets any value on other pleasures in comparison with the pleasure
42 Repub|       Does he not call the other pleasures necessary, under the idea
43 Repub|       replied. ~Since, then, the pleasures of each class and the life
44 Repub|   greatest experience of all the pleasures which we enumerated? Has
45 Repub|     known the taste of the other pleasures from his childhood upward:
46 Repub|        greater experience of the pleasures of honor, or the lover of
47 Repub|        the lover of honor of the pleasures of wisdom? ~Nay, he said,
48 Repub|       all have experience of the pleasures of honor; but the delight
49 Repub|    possible, he replied, is that pleasures which are approved by the
50 Repub|       this to be the greatest of pleasures until they were ill. ~Yes,
51 Repub|       Look at the other class of pleasures which have no antecedent
52 Repub|          take as an example, the pleasures of smell, which are very
53 Repub|        more numerous and violent pleasures which reach the soul through
54 Repub|          anticipations of future pleasures and pains are of a like
55 Repub|      many like an oracle. ~Their pleasures are mixed with pains-how
56 Repub|      honor, when they seek their pleasures under the guidance and in
57 Repub|         pursue after and win the pleasures which wisdom shows them,
58 Repub|        will also have the truest pleasures in the highest degree which
59 Repub|           and they will have the pleasures which are natural to them,
60 Repub|    severally the best and truest pleasures of which they are capable? ~
61 Repub|         There appear to be three pleasures, one genuine and two spurious:

63 Repub|         to brutal and irrational pleasures, that he will regard even
