2501 Repub|              observed by him who would propitiate the inhabitants of the world
2502 Repub|              sinning, the gods will be propitiated, and we shall not be punished. "
2503 Repub|             while admitting both these propositions, he further acknowledged
2504 Repub|         nowhere mentioned in Homer. In proscribing them, however, he is not
2505 Repub|               any way, and he fails to prosecute them, they tell the youth
2506 Repub|            intrigues as well as public prosecutions? ~There can be no doubt
2507 Repub|             honored and loved by them? Protagoras of Abdera and Prodicus of

2509 Repub|                 whom they had formerly protected in the condition of freemen,

2511 Repub|               of suckling shall not be protracted too long; and the mothers
2512 Repub|               educated man, who is too proud for that; and he will also
2513 Repub|               I said, being, as is now proven, immortal, must be the fairest
2514 Repub|           blessings of a like kind are provided for them. And Homer has
2515 Repub|        philosophers to have a care and providence of others; we shall explain

2517 Repub|               which justice of herself provides. ~Yes, he said; and they
2518 Repub|               he said, and if you were providing for a city of pigs, how
2519 Repub|                you are speaking of the province of geometry and the sister
2520 Repub|             has a mind to enter; their provisions should be only such as are

2522 Repub|               Greeks marched breathing prowess," ~"...in silent awe of
2523 Repub|          flesh-when he sees such a one puffing and at his wits'-end, how
2524 Repub|              way? Why we valiantly and pugnaciously insist upon the verbal truth,
2525 Repub|                creaking of wheels, and pulleys, and the various sounds
2526 Repub|              and having mounted a high pulpit, spoke as follows: "Hear
2527 Repub|              calls them to account and punishes them, and says that they
2528 Repub|              and inflict upon them the punishments which Glaucon described
2529 Repub|             replied: They are like the punning riddles which are asked
2530 Repub|            said, when you think of the puny creatures who, seeing this
2531 Repub|               over which they show the puppets. ~I see. ~And do you see,
2532 Repub|              and the suckling of their puppies are labor enough for them? ~
2533 Repub|            those who refute them; like puppy-dogs, they rejoice in pulling

2535 Repub|             just as free as his or her purchaser; nor must I forget to tell
2536 Repub|             the wise is quite true and pure-all others are a shadow only;
2537 Repub|             ready cure; an emetic or a purge or a cautery or the knife-these
2538 Repub|              such as these he cured by purges and operations, and bade
2539 Repub|                have been unconsciously purging the State, which not long
2540 Repub|                and dimmed, is by these purified and reillumined; and is
2541 Repub|         antidote to them. ~Explain the purport of your remark. ~Well, I
2542 Repub|              of everything and makes a purse for himself; and this is
2543 Repub|                which every soul of man pursues and makes the end of all
2544 Repub|         natures ought to have the same pursuits-this is the inconsistency which
2545 Repub|               you say is that one hand pushes and the other pulls. ~Exactly
2546 Repub|             such as was established by Pythagoras, who was so greatly beloved
2547 Repub|              ourselves on the opposite quality-we would fain be quiet and
2548 Repub|        assigned to them short and long quantities. Also in some cases he appeared
2549 Repub|                 and I believe that the quarry will not escape. ~Good news,
2550 Repub|               than mercenaries who are quartered in the city and are always
2551 Repub|               noble spirit will not be quelled until he either slays or
2552 Repub|                not, as I believe, your question-you rather desired to know what
2553 Repub|                such a law are far more questionable. ~I do not think, I said,
2554 Repub|       ignorance; this can no longer be questioned by anyone. But I want to
2555 Repub|              is in this state, and the questioning spirit asks what is fair
2556 Repub|               of them, I mean, who are quick-witted, and, like bees on the wing,
2557 Repub|               him, that he was to have quickness and memory and courage and
2558 Repub|               quality-we would fain be quiet and patient; this is the
2559 Repub|               below, and has his final quietus. ~In all that I should most
2560 Repub|           Thrasymachus, I said, with a quiver, don't be hard upon us.
2561 Repub|                which have been already quoted by us, ~"He smote his breast,

2563 Repub|                and understands, and is radiant with intelligence; but when
2564 Repub|           moment, you instantly make a raid upon me, I said, and have
2565 Repub|                instead of battling and railing in the law courts or assembly,
2566 Repub|              the heavens, as they say, rain upon the pious; and this
2567 Repub|                in color resembling the rainbow, only brighter and purer;
2568 Repub|              and forcing them open, he ran up to the dead bodies, saying,

2571 Repub|             did to perpetrate a horrid rape; or of any other hero or
2572 Repub|                been in such a state of rapture before, even when they first
2573 Repub|                to sympathy, and are in raptures at the excellence of the
2574 Repub|               contracts, and the other rascalities which I was mentioning,
2575 Repub|             impelled by her hand, thus ratifying the destiny of each; and
2576 Repub|        crowding in the nest like young ravens, be crying aloud for food;
2577 Repub|               to waste their lands and raze their houses; their enmity
2578 Repub|            transgression of the tyrant reaches a point beyond the spurious;
2579 Repub|        ourselves perfect in the art of reading until we recognize them
2580 Repub|            over-supposing that he then readmits into the city some part
2581 Repub|               the ideal ever becomes a reality-you would not allow the future

2583 Repub|                of life, if they are to realize our idea of them. In the
2584 Repub|              which they were hoping to reap from his companionship?
2585 Repub|                blessing which you have reaped from your wealth? ~One,
2586 Repub|               them, how are they to be reared and educated? Is not this
2587 Repub|             experiences, were about to reascend, when of a sudden Ardiaeus
2588 Repub|             the finger of the dead and reascended. Now the shepherds met together,
2589 Repub|              ought to rule, and do not rebel? ~Certainly, he said, that
2590 Repub|             about abstract number, and rebelling against the introduction
2591 Repub|              termed, breaking out into rebellion. ~Very true. ~Had we better
2592 Repub|                of kindred, advising or rebuking him, then there arise in
2593 Repub|              Thrasymachus, if you will recall what was previously said,
2594 Repub|                is to the injury of the receiver, if the two parties are
2595 Repub|                we must not let them be receivers of gifts or lovers of money. ~
2596 Repub|              which delighted us in the recitation is now deemed to be the
2597 Repub|              music puts upon them, and recited in simple prose. ~Yes, he
2598 Repub|                 to which our poets and reciters will be expected to conform-that
2599 Repub|                speeches which the poet recites from time to time and in
2600 Repub|             you let me assume, without reciting them, that these things
2601 Repub|              to the performance of any reckless deed by which he can maintain
2602 Repub|                constitutions, in utter recklessness, ending at last, Socrates,
2603 Repub|               clean leaves, themselves reclining the while upon beds strewn
2604 Repub|             the author of sight who is recognized by sight? ~True, he said. ~
2605 Repub|           forgotten, he said. ~We must recollect that the individual in whom
2606 Repub|        Archilochus, greatest of sages, recommends. But I hear someone exclaiming
2607 Repub|                            BOOK X: THE RECOMPENSE OF LIFE~(SOCRATES, GLAUCON.) ~
2608 Repub|            comparison with those other recompenses which await both just and
2609 Repub|              who intend some day to be reconciled? Certainly. ~They will use
2610 Repub|                let us suppose that the reconciliation has been effected. Will
2611 Repub|                but is there any war on record which was carried on successfully
2612 Repub|                 Nothing of the kind is recorded of him. For, surely, Socrates,
2613 Repub|             speech and we make another recounting all the advantages of being
2614 Repub|             perpetually tended, and as recovery was out of the question,
2615 Repub|           merely took up the game as a recreation, and had not from his earliest

2619 Repub|               which they are assembled redoubles the sound of the praise
2620 Repub|               disease which wastes and reduces and annihilates the body;
2621 Repub|              will serve up on a mat of reeds or on clean leaves, themselves
2622 Repub|             the State as upon a sunken reef, and he and all that he
2623 Repub|               ask our opponent how, in reference to any of the pursuits or
2624 Repub|                suppose the objector to refine still further, and to draw
2625 Repub|             into the company of a more refined, licentious sort of people,
2626 Repub|                 like gold tried in the refiner's fire, was to be made a
2627 Repub|            said, that there might be a reform of the State if only one
2628 Repub|              likes to take in hand the reformation of evils which are not his
2629 Repub|            trying their hand at paltry reforms such as I was describing;
2630 Repub|             insurrection, if any prove refractory within, and also defend
2631 Repub|             make him turn away to take refuge in the objects of vision
2632 Repub|        exercise over children, and the refusal to let them be free until
2633 Repub|             honor to yourself from the refutation of an opponent, but have
2634 Repub|               always contradicting and refuting others in imitation of those
2635 Repub|                springs from right, and regarding justice as the greatest
2636 Repub|              those who live under this regime and indulges them and fawns
2637 Repub|             upper and middle and lower regions? ~Yes. ~Then can you wonder
2638 Repub|               is, Socrates, that these regrets, and also the complaints
2639 Repub|                hooked has the grace of regularity: the dark visage is manly,
2640 Repub|            injustice may be carried on regularly. A statement was made that
2641 Repub|            that rhythm and harmony are regulated by the words, and not the
2642 Repub|                the State, but also the regulation of the individual soul,
2643 Repub|         plurality where unity ought to reign? or any greater good than
2644 Repub|           Because of the liberty which reigns there-they have a complete
2645 Repub|               is by these purified and reillumined; and is more precious far
2646 Repub|                no reason, he said, for rejecting those who have this greatest
2647 Repub|              may have, and that we are rejoiced at his having it? But we
2648 Repub|            taste, while he praises and rejoices over and receives into his
2649 Repub|             sacrifices or charms, with rejoicings and feasts; and they promise
2650 Repub|            just, and he answers and we rejoin, there must be a numbering
2651 Repub|               more excellent things to relate both of State and man. And
2652 Repub|            extend to the hearing also, relating in fact to what we term
2653 Repub|                able to see the natural relationship of them to one another and
2654 Repub|             second, I said, would seem relatively to the ears to be what the
2655 Repub|        generally of this sort-they are reliefs of pain. ~That is true. ~
2656 Repub|           natural hunger and desire to relieve our sorrow by weeping and
2657 Repub|               he is the interpreter of religion to all mankind. ~You are
2658 Repub|              mother, or to fail in his religious duties? ~No one. ~And the
2659 Repub|              you have not given them a relish to their meal. ~True, I
2660 Repub|                course they must have a relish-salt and olives and cheese-and
2661 Repub|          suppose once more, that he is reluctantly dragged up a steep and rugged
2662 Repub|                true of poetry. ~Do not rely, I said, on a probability
2663 Repub|              courteous to freemen, and remarkably obedient to authority; he
2664 Repub|                 And, as I was just now remarking, this ignorance in the soul
2665 Repub|                who would not be a man, remembering the injustice which was
2666 Repub|           weeping and sorrowing at the remembrance of the things which they
2667 Repub|              you say this, I am myself reminded that we are not all alike;
2668 Repub|             she is full of trouble and remorse? ~Certainly. ~And is the
2669 Repub|                a miserable caitiff who remorselessly sells his own divine being
2670 Repub|             you are only in the second remove from truth in what you say
2671 Repub|              view of soothing them and removing their dislike of over-education,
2672 Repub|               not his concern, without remuneration. For, in the execution of
2673 Repub|              person-in the first place rendering him incapable of action
2674 Repub|              which they are willing to renounce; as we said before of the
2675 Repub|              and there is Solon who is renowned among us; but what city
2676 Repub|                and to that original to repair, and having perfect vision
2677 Repub|               have the remainder of my repast. For we have already shown
2678 Repub|                not, he said. ~Will you repay me, then, what you borrowed
2679 Repub|        steadily the masters of the art repel and ridicule anyone who
2680 Repub|          suddenly out of the sun to be replaced in his old situation; would
2681 Repub|                In the highest class, I replied-among those goods which he who
2682 Repub|             all that sort of thing, he replies at once that he has no time
2683 Repub|               Thrasymachus, instead of replying to me, said, Tell me, Socrates,
2684 Repub|                might, as the messenger reported, be happy here, and also
2685 Repub|               also the ordering of the repositories of the dead, and the rites
2686 Repub|                A time arrives when the representative of timocracy has a son:
2687 Repub|              others is with difficulty repressed in our own. ~How very true! ~
2688 Repub|                and fasten upon her the reproaches which, as you say, her reprovers
2689 Repub|              that they should begin by reproaching us with our ignorance of
2690 Repub|            philosophers that universal reprobation of which we speak. ~What
2691 Repub|      reproaches which, as you say, her reprovers utter, who affirm of her
2692 Repub|                                    The Republic~
2693 Repub|          household, borrowing and then repudiating, getting how they can, and
2694 Repub|              country, and the greatest repugnance to do what is against her
2695 Repub|           requested of you, to exclude reputations; for unless you take away
2696 Repub|                 And please, as Glaucon requested of you, to exclude reputations;
2697 Repub|               his feet, they will make requests to him and do him honor
2698 Repub|               insured whenever all the requirements of it are satisfied. And
2699 Repub|               and weighing come to the rescue of the human understanding-there
2700 Repub|            which the shadows below are resemblances in their turn as images,
2701 Repub|             and the degree in which we resembled them, but not with any view
2702 Repub|             even as the State which he resembles: and surely the resemblance
2703 Repub|            another he will satisfy his resentment then and there, and not
2704 Repub|               same time taking care to reserve the larger part for themselves? ~
2705 Repub|       unworthiness, and what are to be reserved for the expression of opposite
2706 Repub|              happiness does not rather reside in the State as a whole.
2707 Repub|               is not found will be the residue? ~Very good. ~If there were
2708 Repub|             notions of freedom, and of resistance to his authority, he will
2709 Repub|          nothing, and are incapable of resisting either pleasure or pain. ~
2710 Repub|               hour of danger and stern resolve, or when his cause is failing,
2711 Repub|            hand another State, we have resolved, as you heard, not to let
2712 Repub|               a small part only of his resources, and the result commonly
2713 Repub|               more or less of her; the responsibility is with the chooser-God
2714 Repub|               is mightiest to sway the restless soul of man." ~How admirable
2715 Repub|             authorities are careful to restrain by force? ~Certainly, we
2716 Repub|                of something, but put a restraint upon themselves when they
2717 Repub|               such medicines should be restricted to physicians; private individuals
2718 Repub|                extinguish it either by restricting a man's use of his own property,
2719 Repub|               and always with the same result-when he turned the collet inward
2720 Repub|             this sort of physician, he resumes his ordinary habits, and
2721 Repub|   retail-traders in our State. Is not "retailer" the term which is applied
2722 Repub|           which they have learned, and retaining under all circumstances
2723 Repub|               when he grows up he must retaliate upon people of this sort,
2724 Repub|             Uranus did, and how Cronus retaliated on him. The doings of Cronus,
2725 Repub|         injustice without the power of retaliation; and justice, being at a
2726 Repub|            driving wind hurries along, retires under the shelter of a wall;
2727 Repub|                suppose that he were to retort: " Thrasymachus, what do
2728 Repub|         replied, I suppose that I must retrace my steps and say what I
