Dialogue

 1 Repub|          his friend? ~In going to war against the one and in making
 2 Repub|        use in peace as well as in war? ~Yes. ~Like husbandry for
 3 Repub|       having an eye to poverty or war. ~But, said Glaucon, interposing,
 4 Repub|             And so we shall go to war, Glaucon. Shall we not? ~
 5 Repub|        determining as yet whether war does good or harm, thus
 6 Repub|       that now we have discovered war to be derived from causes
 7 Repub|        true, he said. ~But is not war an art? ~Certainly. ~And
 8 Repub|       should be well done. But is war an art so easily acquired
 9 Repub|      shield or other implement of war become a good fighter all
10 Repub|          Pelops, or of the Trojan War or on any similar theme,
11 Repub|  Asclepius who were at the Trojan war do not blame the damsel
12 Repub|        city will be able to go to war, especially against an enemy
13 Repub|         deprived of the sinews of war. ~There would certainly
14 Repub|            I replied, in going to war with one such enemy; but
15 Repub|     therefore come and help us in war, and take the spoils of
16 Repub|         of the rich; these are at war with one another; and in
17 Repub|      which fights and goes out to war on the State's behalf. ~
18 Repub|       that anger at times goes to war with desire, as though they
19 Repub|    gymnastics and also the art of war, which they must practise
20 Repub|         at all? And is the art of war one of those arts in which
21 Repub|        them share in the toils of war and the defence of their
22 Repub|          the city or going out to war; they are to keep watch
23 Repub| difficulty, I said, in seeing how war will be carried on by them. ~
24 Repub|          to help and be of use in war, and to wait upon their
25 Repub|         which may often happen in war, how great the danger is!
26 Repub|         soldiers do or do not see war in the days of their youth
27 Repub|        our children spectators of war; but we must also contrive
28 Repub|          be blind to the risks of war, but to know, as far as
29 Repub|             Still, the dangers of war cannot be always foreseen;
30 Repub|          them on horseback to see war: the horses must not be
31 Repub|      right, he said. ~Next, as to war; what are to be the relations
32 Repub|          a man dies gloriously in war shall we not say, in the
33 Repub|          the names "discord" and "war," and I imagine that there
34 Repub|     discord, and only the second, war. ~That is a very proper
35 Repub|       described by us as being at war when they fight, and by
36 Repub|       antagonism should be called war; but when Hellenes fight
37 Repub|       which is not to be called a war? ~Certainly not. ~Then they
38 Repub|       they know that the guilt of war is always confined to a
39 Repub|           quality? ~Usefulness in war. ~Yes, if possible. ~There
40 Repub|             Yes. ~Then the art of war partakes of them? ~To be
41 Repub|     philosophical; for the man of war must learn the art of number
42 Repub|         geometry which relates to war; for in pitching a camp
43 Repub|     education and the pursuits of war and peace are also to be
44 Repub|          are causes of hatred and war. This the muses affirm to
45 Repub|        themselves were engaged in war and in keeping a watch against
46 Repub|          are by nature fitted for war rather than peace; and in
47 Repub|      incapable of carrying on any war. Either they arm the multitude,
48 Repub|         The man, then, will be at war with himself; he will be
49 Repub|       State falls sick, and is at war with herself; and may be
50 Repub|      unless you like, or to go to war when the rest go to war,
51 Repub|           war when the rest go to war, or to be at peace when
52 Repub|           faction, and he goes to war with himself. ~It must be
53 Repub|           always stirring up some war or other, in order that
54 Repub|       must be always getting up a war. ~He must. ~Now he begins
55 Repub|          probably want them for a war; and if there is no war,
56 Repub|           war; and if there is no war, they stay at home and do
57 Repub|            Well, but is there any war on record which was carried
