1014 5    |        partaker of the truth, that he may live a true man as long
1015 5    |             from doing any; the first may count as one man, the second
1016 5    |               virtue. The same praise may be given about temperance
1017 5    |             and all other goods which may be imparted to others, as
1018 5    |             willing, yet is not able, may be allowed the second place;

1021 5    |         dislike. All the lives of men may be regarded by us as bound

1023 5    |               if he be also a despot, may be able to effect; but the
1024 5    |            the mildest of purgations, may think himself happy if he
1025 5    |           political arrangement there may be trouble and danger. But,
1026 5    |             hope that a slight change may be cautiously effected in
1027 5    |               upon this lasting basis may be erected afterwards whatever
1028 5    |            might have escaped; and we may venture now to assert that
1029 5    |           same way, so that every man may correspond to a lot. Let
1030 5    |              of the several districts may meet at fixed times, and
1031 5    |            fixed times, and that they may readily supply their various
1032 5    |           best. Perhaps also some one may not approve this form, because
1033 5    |              the third best, which we may just mention, and then leave
1034 5    |                or to any one else who may hereafter have to make a
1035 5    |              among constitutions, and may desire to give to his state
1036 5    |           order that the distribution may always remain, they ought
1037 5    |        increased nor diminished. This may be secured for the whole

1039 5    |              other hand, special care may be taken to increase the
1040 5    |            rewards and stigmas, or we may meet the evil by the elder
1041 5    |        younger—in this way the object may be attained. And if after

1045 5    |               these things, that they may be observed;—the magistracy
1046 5    |        infringement of these commands may be discovered and punished
1047 5    |              any other occasion which may arise of sending out a herald,
1048 5    |          principles are best, any one may see who compares them with
1049 5    |            although the owner of them may quite well be a rogue. And

1052 5    |       contributions and distributions may be proportioned to the value
1053 5    |          these or similar names: they may continue in the same rank,

1055 5    |            that all suits about money may be easy and quite simple.~
1056 5    |         suitable for a city, and this may easily be imagined and described.
1057 5    |              now see in what way this may be accomplished. There is
1058 5    |            craft, which evil tendency may be observed in the Egyptians
1059 6    |              well educated, that they may have a right judgment, and
1060 6    |            have a right judgment, and may be able to select or reject
1061 6    |         persuaded to go, the Cnosians may fairly use a little violence
1062 6    |             in which the new citizens may be best managed under present
1063 6    |           manner. Any one who pleases may take away any tablet which
1064 6    |            further duties. And now we may proceed in order to speak
1065 6    |             Disputes about the voting may be raised once or twice;
1066 6    |             class, at which every one may, if he likes, vote, and
1067 6    |              one another; one of them may be introduced without difficulty,
1068 6    |              and any other city which may be hereafter founded. To
1069 6    |              a care of men, that they may do no harm, and also of
1070 6    |                in order that the city may be suitably provided according
1071 6    |              and city, that the state may be as far as possible of
1072 6    |             committed to God, that he may do what is agreeable to
1073 6    |         Delphi, in order that the God may return one out of each triad;
1074 6    |         districts, in order that they may all acquire knowledge and
1075 6    |             as possible of the guards may not only get a knowledge
1076 6    |               season of the year, but may also have experience of
1077 6    |         regions which lie underneath, may furnish even to the dry
1078 6    |               cases the injured party may bring his suit in the common
1079 6    |             if he obtain a verdict he may exact from the defendant,
1080 6    |             to whom this is committed may be called the secret police,
1081 6    |              the buildings, that they may be all made according to
1082 6    |            care being taken that they may reach the fountains pure
1083 6    |                and he in the scrutiny may be challenged on the one
1084 6    |              election, but the lowest may stay away with impunity;
1085 6    |    establishment of courts of justice may be regarded as a choice
1086 6    |              causes; and any one else may be present who pleases.
1087 6    |            state all are wronged, and may reasonably complain if they
1088 6    |              of magistrates, and this may be regarded as a sufficient
1089 6    |               Athenian. No matter; we may make use of the illustration
1090 6    |          correct the flaws which time may introduce, and be able to
1091 6    |             described; anything which may be an impediment, the good
1092 6    |             of the number 5040, which may be divided by all numbers
1093 6    |          cured. And the truth of this may be easily proved when we
1094 6    |             agreed, in that case they may make the change, but if
1095 6    |              quicker with the slower, may awaken anger as well as
1096 6    |                All this and much more may be truly said by way of
1097 6    |              who follows their advice may be satisfied. Touching the
1098 6    |               is of the richest class may spend a mina—he who is of
1099 6    |             care that their offspring may be born of reasonable beings;
1100 6    |             To be sure.~Athenian. But may we not also say that the
1101 6    |              virtue in them; and this may be truly said of every master,
1102 6    |              in what he has to do, we may next proceed to describe
1103 6    |            trials of capital offenses may fitly take place. As to
1104 6    |            walls and gates, then they may sleep in safety; as if they
1105 6    |             first that the whole city may be one wall, having all
1106 6    |               any other matters which may have to be administered
1107 6    |     enactments which their experience may show to be necessary, and
1108 6    |               points in which the law may be deficient. And now that
1109 6    |               thinks that individuals may pass the day as they please,
1110 6    |           Athenian. I said that there may have been singularity and
1111 6    |               regulations about women may not only be regarded as
1112 6    |               this state perhaps they may. And if we may assume that
1113 6    |           perhaps they may. And if we may assume that our whole discussion
1114 6    |              seasons in which animals may be expected to have undergone
1115 6    |               No doubt.~Athenian. And may we not suppose that vines
1116 6    |           nearer view of them; and we may then determine what previous
1117 6    |           spoken; for hereafter there may be need of them.~Cleinias.
1118 6    |         whatever time the magistrates may command, assemble every
1119 6    |       modestly, the enactments of law may be left to slumber; but,
1120 7    |         altogether unnoticed, and yet may be thought a subject fitted
1121 7    |             who makes this reflection may himself adopt the laws just
1122 7    |        mentioned, and, adopting them, may order his house and state
1123 7    |           This is the lesson which we may gather from the experience
1124 7    |               terrors which beset us, may be said to be an exercise
1125 7    |                True.~Athenian. And we may say that the use of exercise
1126 7    |               temper, or the reverse, may be regarded as having much
1127 7    |             how and to what extent we may, if we please, without difficulty
1128 7    |               And having spoken well, may I add that you have been
1129 7    |              handle heavy arms; for I may note, that the practice
1130 7    |           other things, from which we may learn that those who make
1131 7    |               a great difference, and may be of very great importance
1132 7    |           them, boys and girls alike, may be sound hand and foot,
1133 7    |              sound hand and foot, and may not, if they can help, spoil
1134 7    |            held in special honour, we may truly say that no greater
1135 7    |              work which they can get, may see that they are at first
1136 7    |                A similar principle we may imagine to hold good about
1137 7    |             very well know his way—he may be alone or he may be walking
1138 7    |             way—he may be alone or he may be walking with others,
1139 7    |            consideration. But that we may not be hindered from completing
1140 7    |              of them, when completed, may throw light on our present
1141 7    |            law—if, I say, any one who may be a son or brother, standing
1142 7    |          these the newly–founded city may freely select what is proper
1143 7    |         legislator in order that they may regulate dancing, music,
1144 7    |               which tends to courage, may be fairly called manly;
1145 7    |            moderation and temperance, may be declared both in law
1146 7    |           means, and in what ways, we may go through the voyage of
1147 7    |              what do I mean? Some one may ask this very question,
1148 7    |          perform dances, and how they may propitiate the deities,
1149 7    |          missiles, at which young men may learn and practise. Of these
1150 7    |            true.~Athenian. Then now I may proceed?~Cleinias. By all
1151 7    |          manner of life among men who may be supposed to have their
1152 7    |               law. For the life which may be truly said to be concerned
1153 7    |               the next sunrise. There may seem to be some impropriety
1154 7    |              If they rise early, they may all of them do much of their
1155 7    |          freeman who comes in his way may punish him and his tutor
1156 7    |           explain everything, that he may be an interpreter and tutor
1157 7    |              sacrifices and festivals may have their regular and natural
1158 7    |               handle the lyre, and he may continue at this for another
1159 7    |              road which we are taking may be disagreeable to some
1160 7    |        Athenian. The truth, Cleinias, may be expected to become clearer
1161 7    |        containing the very truth; and may he prosper in his office!
1162 7    |              and the rest of the city may be equal to the task; and,
1163 7    |              of the body. Such motion may be in general called dancing,
1164 7    |             and modest pleasures, and may be truly called and is the
1165 7    |            from the peaceful one, and may be rightly termed Pyrrhic;
1166 7    |              any meaning whatever and may, I think, be most truly
1167 7    |             of prosperity; this class may be subdivided into two lesser
1168 7    |           manner; and as the ancients may be observed to have given
1169 7    |           them both, in order that he may not in ignorance do or say
1170 7    |              us and say—”O strangers, may we go to your city and country
1171 7    |              your city and country or may we not, and shall we bring
1172 7    |              these leading the way we may proceed to the other parts
1173 7    |              Cleinias. Assuredly: but may we not now, Stranger, prescribe
1174 7    |             regarded as pledges which may be hereafter redeemed and
1175 7    |              Perhaps what I am saying may seem paradoxical, and at
1176 7    |              Hellenes tell lies, if I may use such an expression,
1177 7    |                but if we cannot, they may be let alone, and let this
1178 7    |         friends, we will say to them, may no desire or love of hunting
1179 7    |          thieving in town or country, may it never enter into your
1180 7    |             and any one who meets him may stop him. As to the hunter
1181 7    |              the hunter in waters, he may hunt anywhere except in
1182 7    |          poisonous juices. And now we may say that all our enactments
1183 8    |               offered, and how often, may be partly regulated by us.~
1184 8    |             of necessity omits; and I may remark that they are the
1185 8    |               be one who, although he may have musical and poetical
1186 8    |             and women. The legislator may be supposed to argue the
1187 8    |           practising with one another may appear to some ridiculous,
1188 8    |               in order that the sport may not be altogether without
1189 8    |          altogether without fear, but may have terrors and to a certain
1190 8    |        assigned to them respectively, may prepare the whole city for
1191 8    |          voluntary subjects; but they may be truly called states of
1192 8    |            money. Such a constitution may be reasonably supposed to
1193 8    |              useful, and therefore we may as well place a competition
1194 8    |       whatever way or manner the Gods may put into men’s minds the
1195 8    |            them. At the same time, we may expect that the musical
1196 8    |            these and the like matters may have a regular order; nor,
1197 8    |               ordinances already made may possibly get the better
1198 8    |             passions which master man may easily know how to subdue
1199 8    |             of happily. And, further, may we not suppose that the
1200 8    |              in the matter of love we may be able to enforce one of
1201 8    |       unnatural lusts; or at least we may abolish altogether the connection
1202 8    |              there a third kind which may be better than either of
1203 8    |         Leaving the common tables, we may therefore proceed to the
1204 8    |         through their multiplication, may cause a weight of enmity,
1205 8    |         neighbour’s land; for any man may easily do harm, but not
1206 8    |             many law givers, which we may use, not deeming it necessary
1207 8    |               their course: who likes may draw water from the fountain–
1208 8    |              some other owner; and he may take the water in any direction
1209 8    |               then, if he pleases, he may gather it; but if a stranger
1210 8    |             these fruits the stranger may partake, just as he may
1211 8    |               may partake, just as he may of the fruits of autumn.
1212 8    |            them; but all these things may very likely happen in regard
1213 8    |            the injured party. Any one may bring the offences of magistrates,
1214 8    |                whether sojourners who may be dwelling in the city,
1215 8    |             within what limited a man may increase and diminish his
1216 8    |             metics. Any one who likes may come and be a metic on certain
1217 8    |                and is able to settle, may dwell in the land, but he
1218 8    |            them who wishes to remain, may do so, if he can persuade
1219 9    |              some one of our citizens may be like a seed which has
1220 9    |              Among our citizens there may be those who cannot be subdued
1221 9    |               and strangers’ servants may be guilty of many impieties.
1222 9    |              have a short prelude, we may speak to the criminal, whom
1223 9    |               with as many stripes as may seem good to the judges,
1224 9    |           order that none of the lots may go uncultivated for want
1225 9    |                the like, these things may be left to the younger generation
1226 9    |           house which has failed; and may he have better fortune than
1227 9    |            all one, whether the thief may have taken much or little,
1228 9    |              rightly worked out, as I may say in passing.—Do you remember
1229 9    |               slaves? For of this you may be very sure, that if one
1230 9    |        compelled to give laws, but we may take into consideration
1231 9    |            most needful, and how they may both be carried into execution;
1232 9    |        carried into execution; and we may also, if we please, at this
1233 9    |              the morrow. But we, as I may by grace of Heaven affirm,
1234 9    |               of some composite work, may gather a heap of materials,
1235 9    |         putting them together. And we may truly say that some of our
1236 9    |            gentler view of them which may or may not be attainable—
1237 9    |             view of them which may or may not be attainable—at any
1238 9    |          prepared to undergo whatever may be the result. And may the
1239 9    |       whatever may be the result. And may the result be good, and
1240 9    |               not legislators, but we may soon be. Let us, if you

1245 9    |              nature is passion, which may be described either as a
1246 9    |           Quite true.~Athenian. A man may truly say that ignorance
1247 9    |           crimes. Ignorance, however, may be conveniently divided
1248 9    |                although an individual may be often drawn by them in
1249 9    |          nature states or individuals may suppose that to dwell, has
1250 9    |            three sources of error, we may begin by recalling them
1251 9    |      subverting the government. A man may very likely commit some
1252 9    |             pay for the hurt which he may have done to another; but
1253 9    |           mind to proceed against him may compel him to be absent
1254 9    |           arising from passion, which may be justly said to be in
1255 9    |           exile of two years, that he may learn to school his passions.
1256 9    |               the law to be the worse may really be the less cruel,
1257 9    |              is judged the less cruel may be really the worse, and
1258 9    |              be really the worse, and may have executed the murder
1259 9    |             manner, whereas the other may have been gentler. But in
1260 9    |               temples, he who pleases may bring to trial the next
1261 9    |            the murderer with him, and may compel the one to exact
1262 9    |           kindred of the deceased man may do with the murderer (provided
1263 9    |            put him to death, but this may be done in any manner which
1264 9    |               law. Now the legislator may easily show that these things
1265 9    |              or any other citizen who may first happen to meet with
1266 9    |            are magistrates, that they may put him to death. And let
1267 9    |              his body after execution may have burial in his native
1268 9    |          because he is afraid that he may inform of some base and
1269 9    |              ill–educated states, and may perhaps occur even in a
1270 9    |           wife suffering violence, he may kill the violator, and be
1271 9    |              wounded another. Any one may easily imagine the questions
1272 9    |            courts of law?~Athenian. I may reply, that in a state in
1273 9    |               inflicted on the guilty may fairly and with advantage
1274 9    |              to them the greater part may be left. At the same time,
1275 9    |              the work of legislation, may with advantage be repeated

1298 10   |          greater impiety, and that we may if possible use arguments

1446 Text |             is not his friend, or who may be his enemy, when he loves
1447 Text |          which even hates him. And he may be the enemy of one who

1449 Text |            right in saying this?~They may be.~Perhaps, I said, about
1450 Text |               is like; still the good may be the friend of the good
1451 Text |              a further consideration: may not all these notions of
1452 Text |          friendship be erroneous? but may not that which is neither
1453 Text |           neither good nor evil.~That may be assumed to be certain.~

1458 Text |             provided. And although we may often say that gold and
1459 Text |           further object, whatever it may be, which we value most
1460 Text |            right?~Yes, certainly.~And may not the same be said of

1462 Text |           have any similar desire? Or may we suppose that hunger will

1464 Text |             hunger may injure us, and may also benefit us:—Is not
1465 Text |          thirst or any similar desire may sometimes be a good and

1471 Pre  |        obtained authority. A tendency may also be observed to blend
1472 Pre  |        evidence in their favour. They may have been supposed by him
1473 Pre  |           external credentials. There may be also a possibility that
1474 Pre  |            Aristotle was mistaken, or may have confused the master
1475 Pre  |             but Plato. And lastly, we may remark that one or two great
1476 Pre  |          Aristotelian (1) credentials may be fairly attributed to
1477 Pre  |              of ancient Greek authors may be summed up under two heads
1478 Pre  |             genuine or spurious. They may have been written in youth,
1479 Pre  |               works of some painters, may be partly or wholly the
1480 Pre  |       compositions of pupils; or they may have been the writings of
1481 Pre  |             singular by Aristotle, we may perhaps infer that he was
1482 Pre  |               thought of the dialogue may be detected in Xen. Mem.,
1483 Pre  |          argument. On the whole, more may be said in favour of the
1484 Pre  |             in the Phaedrus, and this may have suggested the subject,
1485 Pre  |               The motive of the piece may, perhaps, be found in that
1486 Pre  |               class to another. There may have been degrees of genuineness
1487 Pre  |            both of Socrates and Plato may have formed the basis of
1488 Pre  |  semi-Platonic writings; some of them may be of the same mixed character
1489 Pre  |               criticism of the reader may be partly spurious and partly
1490 Pre  |              and partly genuine; they may be altogether spurious;—
1491 Pre  |           Hippias and the Cleitophon, may be genuine. The nature and
1492 Pre  |        considerable change and growth may have taken place in his

1494 Intro|           line, as in the Phaedrus he may be supposed to offer an
1495 Intro|          whether original or imitated may be uncertain. Socrates,
