Dialogue

 1 Repub|        more take a look into the tyrant's soul, and try to arrive
 2 Repub|     State alike, tyranny and the tyrant; these we have now to consider. ~
 3 Repub|         is the root from which a tyrant springs; when he first appears
 4 Repub| protector begin to change into a tyrant? Clearly when he does what
 5 Repub|         become a wolf-that is, a tyrant? ~Inevitably. ~This, I said,
 6 Repub|          spite of his enemies, a tyrant full grown. ~That is clear. ~
 7 Repub|         no longer protector, but tyrant absolute. ~No doubt, he
 8 Repub|         meets; he to be called a tyrant, who is making promises
 9 Repub|        for all these reasons the tyrant must be always getting up
10 Repub|        may be expected. ~And the tyrant, if he means to rule, must
11 Repub|      creature, I said, must this tyrant be; he has put to death
12 Repub|       they are the wise whom the tyrant makes his companions. ~Yes,
13 Repub|       return and inquire how the tyrant will maintain that fair,
14 Repub|         not mean to say that the tyrant will use violence? What!
15 Repub|           love has been called a tyrant? ~I should not wonder. ~
16 Repub|         man also the spirit of a tyrant? ~He has. ~And you know
17 Repub|          horrid act. Love is his tyrant, and lives lordly in him
18 Repub|         king, leads him on, as a tyrant leads a State, to the performance
19 Repub| mercenary soldiers of some other tyrant who may probably want them
20 Repub|          a thousand miles of the tyrant; when this noxious class
21 Repub|          one who has most of the tyrant in his own soul, and him
22 Repub|        and him they create their tyrant. ~Yes, he said, and he will
23 Repub|          be the most fit to be a tyrant. ~If the people yield, well
24 Repub|          friends of anybody; the tyrant never tastes of true freedom
25 Repub|        being by nature most of a tyrant bears rule, and the longer
26 Repub|    longer he lives the more of a tyrant he becomes. ~That is certain,
27 Repub|        the city which is under a tyrant, how do they stand as to
28 Repub|         at the apparition of the tyrant, who is only a unit and
29 Repub|      happiness and misery of the tyrant when compared with other
30 Repub|      city which is governed by a tyrant is free or enslaved? ~No
31 Repub|        which is enslaved under a tyrant is utterly incapable of
32 Repub|        the soul which is under a tyrant (I am speaking of the soul
33 Repub|        the city which is under a tyrant rich or poor? ~Poor. ~And
34 Repub|     misfortune of being a public tyrant. ~From what has been said,
35 Repub|          may form an idea of the tyrant's condition, for they both
36 Repub|      sort of prison in which the tyrant will be bound-he who being
37 Repub|        by fortune to be a public tyrant? He has to be master of
38 Repub|          and does not the actual tyrant lead a worse life than he
39 Repub|   Certainly. ~He who is the real tyrant, whatever men may think,
40 Repub|        he who being the greatest tyrant of himself is also the greatest
41 Repub|     himself is also the greatest tyrant of his State? ~Make the
42 Repub|         nearest? ~Yes. ~Then the tyrant will live at the greatest
43 Repub|       Certainly. ~But if so, the tyrant will live most unpleasantly,
44 Repub|         the transgression of the tyrant reaches a point beyond the
45 Repub|         assume, I said, that the tyrant is in the third place from
46 Repub|           he is third. ~Then the tyrant is removed from true pleasure
47 Repub|        the interval by which the tyrant is parted from the king. ~
48 Repub|          king is parted from the tyrant in truth of pleasure, he
49 Repub|         more pleasantly, and the tyrant more painfully by this same
50 Repub|      time of Er: he had been the tyrant of some city of Pamphylia,
51 Repub|       them, some lasting out the tyrant's life, others which broke
