3256 Repub| what are these forms of theology which you mean? ~Something
3257 Repub| said, are our principles of theology-some tales are to be told, and
3258 Repub| the liberty which reigns there-they have a complete assortment
3259 | thereby

3263 Repub| thinking, and that this was the thesis which Thrasymachus was maintaining
3264 Repub| whether white or black, or thick or thin-it makes no difference;
3265 Repub| suspicions and alarms crowd thickly upon him, and he begins
3266 Repub| perceive the qualities of thickness or thinness, of softness
3267 Repub| water-drinker, and tries to get thin; then he takes a turn at
3268 Repub| white or black, or thick or thin-it makes no difference; a finger

3270 Repub| grows old may learn many things-for he can no more learn much

3272 Repub| Certainly. ~And so of all other things-justice is useful when they are
3273 Repub| whatever good there is in other things-of a principle such and so
3274 Repub| animals, himself and all other things-the earth and heaven, and the
3275 Repub| State-you understand the sort of things-these also have a corrupting and
3276 Repub| honor those who say these things-they are excellent people, as
3277 Repub| might have possessed all things-to whom we replied that, if

3280 Repub| qualities of thickness or thinness, of softness or hardness?
3281 Repub| of virtue, and not in the third-not an image maker or imitator-and
3282 Repub| suppose we make astronomy the third-what do you say? ~I am strongly
3283 Repub| When a democracy which is thirsting for freedom has evil cup-bearers
3284 Repub| loves, and hungers, and thirsts, and feels the flutterings
3285 Repub| knowledge still higher than this-higher than justice and the other
3286 Repub| the side, carding them on thorns like wool, and declaring
3287 Repub| pleasures, and prove them more thoroughly than gold is proved in the
3288 Repub| lightly told to young and thoughtless persons; if possible, they
3289 Repub| we have come here, said Thrasymachus-to look for gold, or to hear
3290 Repub| care or thought about us, Thrasymachus-whether we live better or worse
3291 Repub| to Atropos, who spun the threads and made them irreversible,
3292 Repub| time, and in the remaining three-fourths of his time be employed
3293 Repub| distinguishing one, two, and three-in a word, number and calculation:
3294 Repub| time? The whole period of threescore years and ten is surely
3295 Repub| head and foot and hand, and threw them down and flayed them
3296 Repub| or the knife put to the throat, or even the cutting up
3297 Repub| says the contrary. They throng about the captain, begging
3298 Repub| prophet; for, instead of throwing the blame of his misfortune
3299 Repub| when the dice have been thrown order our affairs in the
3300 Repub| of the night there were a thunderstorm and earthquake, and then
3301 Repub| king within him, girt with tiara and chain and scimitar? ~
3302 Repub| the greatest good when the tide carries them in that direction;
3303 Repub| beyond a musician in the tightening and loosening the strings? ~
3304 Repub| may be relaxed or drawn tighter until they are duly harmonized. ~
3305 Repub| wanted by us for pasture and tillage, and they will want a slice
3306 Repub| than timocracy or perhaps timarchy. We will compare with this
3307 Repub| mildew is of corn, and rot of timber, or rust of copper and iron:
3308 Repub| with the men of our own time-no one has ever blamed injustice
3309 Repub| exactly like a bald little tinker who has just got out of
3310 Repub| them-they would rather not tire themselves by thinking about
3311 Repub| mind at all!" ~Again of Tiresias: ~"[To him even after death
3312 Repub| and nurses wet and dry, tirewomen and barbers, as well as
3313 Repub| lover of knowledge," are titles which we may fitly apply
3314 Repub| with fair names and showy titles-like prisoners running out of
3315 Repub| when their turn comes, toiling also at politics and ruling
3316 Repub| honorable, but grievous and toilsome; and that the pleasures
3317 Repub| be disregarded. ~That is tolerably clear. ~And in oligarchical
3318 Repub| point between the two, is tolerated not as a good, but as the
3319 Repub| dragged Hector round the tomb of Patroclus, and slaughtered
3320 Repub| with them, hymning a single tone or note. The eight together
3321 Repub| I conceive, fond of fine tones and colors and forms and
3322 Repub| disappear, and with unholy tongue and lips tasting the blood
3323 Repub| and which was a bad lie too-I mean what Hesiod says that
3324 Repub| I ought to be, and you too-there is no difficulty in proving
3325 Repub| will the builder make his tools-and he, too, needs many; and

3331 Repub| learned; they are always in a torpid state, and are apt to yawn
3332 Repub| perspiration poured from him in torrents; and then I saw what I had
3333 Repub| gentlemen who tease and torture the strings and rack them

3335 Repub| things because he lightly touches on a small part of them,

3340 Repub| and warlike, but the most tractable and yet the swiftest that
3341 Repub| callings-they are husbandmen, tradesmen, warriors, all in one. Does
3342 Repub| we find a better than the traditional sort?-and this has two divisions,
3343 Repub| thing and Euripides a great tragedian. ~Why so? ~Why, because
3344 Repub| my house; behind I will trail the subtle and crafty fox,
3345 Repub| gymnastics and military training-in all these respects this
3346 Repub| study-how grandly does she trample all these fine notions of
3347 Repub| when they have sinned and trangressed." ~And they produce a host
3348 Repub| with the semblance of such transformations; or is he one and the same
3349 Repub| their subjects, and him who transgresses them they punish as a breaker
3350 Repub| and two spurious: now the transgression of the tyrant reaches a
