2001 1    |            art gives us a particular good and not merely a general
2002 1    |               Or because a man is in good health when he receives
2003 1    |           admitted, I said, that the good of each art is specially
2004 1    |                Then, if there be any good which all artists have in
2005 1    |            not the stronger-to their good they attend and not to the
2006 1    |           they attend and not to the good of the superior. ~And this
2007 1    |              no attraction for them; good men do not wish to be openly
2008 1    |              I conceive, induces the good to take office, not because
2009 1    |             themselves, or indeed as good. For there is reason to
2010 1    |            were composed entirely of good men, then to avoid office
2011 1    |            in our own persons. ~Very good, he said. ~And which method
2012 1    |         appear to you to be wise and good? ~Yes, he said; at any rate
2013 1    |            to do: But will you be so good as answer yet one more question?
2014 1    |        statement. ~And the unjust is good and wise, and the just is
2015 1    |            and the just is neither? ~Good again, he said. ~And is
2016 1    |             unjust like the wise and good, and the just unlike them? ~
2017 1    |         Certainly, he replied. ~Very good, Thrasymachus, I said; and
2018 1    |      musician is foolish. ~And he is good in as far as he is wise,
2019 1    |                Yes. ~And the wise is good? ~True. ~Then the wise and
2020 1    |             True. ~Then the wise and good will not desire to gain
2021 1    |            just is like the wise and good, and the unjust like the
2022 1    |            turned out to be wise and good, and the unjust evil and
2023 1    |              and I will answer "Very good," as they say to story-telling
2024 1    |            to quarrel with you. ~How good of you, I said; but I should
2025 1    |              superintendent, and the good soul a good ruler? ~Yes,
2026 1    |  superintendent, and the good soul a good ruler? ~Yes, necessarily. ~
2027 2    |             money-making-these do us good but we regard them as disagreeable;
2028 2    |              necessity, but not as a good. And thirdly, I will argue
2029 2    |             injustice is, by nature, good; to suffer injustice, evil;
2030 2    |             evil is greater than the good. And so when men have both
2031 2    |           two, is tolerated not as a good, but as the lesser evil,
2032 2    |             natures deem to be their good, and are only diverted into
2033 2    |           thinks that justice is any good to him individually, but
2034 2    |          says, to be and not to seem good. There must be no seeming,
2035 2    |        others; for they throw in the good opinion of the gods, and
2036 2    |          calamity and misery to many good men, and good and happiness
2037 2    |         misery to many good men, and good and happiness to the wicked.
2038 2    |              justice is the greatest good, and injustice the greatest
2039 2    |          which makes the one to be a good and the other an evil to
2040 2    |            that justice is another's good and the interest of the
2041 2    |           only: I mean the essential good and evil which justice and
2042 2    |          which makes the one to be a good and the other an evil, whether
2043 2    |               and would require very good eyes. Seeing then, I said,
2044 2    |           exchange will be for their good. ~Very true. ~Then, I said,
2045 2    |       agriculture, if they are to be good for anything. Neither will
2046 2    |             in peace and health to a good old age, and bequeath a
2047 2    |              as yet whether war does good or harm, thus much we may
2048 2    |           and then he would become a good workman. Now nothing can
2049 2    |              in the world would be a good dice or draught player who
2050 2    |            implement of war become a good fighter all in a day, whether
2051 2    |              True. ~He will not be a good guardian who is wanting
2052 2    |              must infer that to be a good guardian is impossible. ~
2053 2    |             friend the dog is a very good one: you know that well-bred
2054 2    |              harm, nor the other any good. Did this never strike you
2055 2    |             he who is to be a really good and noble guardian of the
2056 2    |             tale of fiction which is good, and reject the bad; and
2057 2    |          Right. ~And is he not truly good? and must he not be represented
2058 2    |            such? ~Certainly. ~And no good thing is hurtful? ~No, indeed. ~
2059 2    |          evil? ~Impossible. ~And the good is advantageous? ~Yes. ~
2060 2    |         follows, therefore, that the good is not the cause of all
2061 2    |            of all things, but of the good only? ~Assuredly. ~Then
2062 2    |       Assuredly. ~Then God, if he be good, is not the author of all
2063 2    |          many are the evils, and the good is to be attributed to God
2064 2    |           Zeus, full of lots, one of good, the other of evil lots," ~
2065 2    |         fortune, at other times with good;" ~but that he to whom is
2066 2    |              who is the dispenser of good and evil to us." ~And if
2067 2    |              God; but that God being good is the author of evil to
2068 2    |         author of all things, but of good only. ~That will do, he
2069 2    |               houses, garments: when good and well made, they are
2070 2    |             Then everything which is good, whether made by art or
2071 3    |            our principle is that the good man will not consider death
2072 3    |          death terrible to any other good man who is his comrade. ~
2073 3    |            not even to women who are good for anything), or to men
2074 3    |        allowed to lie for the public good. But nobody else should
2075 3    |              to have given his pupil good counsel when he told him
2076 3    |             are often happy, and the good miserable; and that injustice
2077 3    |      sacrifice, and praying that his good deeds might be returned
2078 3    |            say that they ought to be good men, to imitate a woman,
2079 3    |           may be employed by a truly good man when he has anything
2080 3    |            answered, that a just and good man in the course of a narration
2081 3    |          saying or action of another good man-I should imagine that
2082 3    |              to play the part of the good man when he is acting firmly
2083 3    |           when he is performing some good action; at other times he
2084 3    |              as a joke, but in right good earnest, and before a large
2085 3    |             of grace is an effect of good or bad rhythm. ~None at
2086 3    |          None at all. ~And also that good and bad rhythm naturally
2087 3    |            naturally assimilate to a good and bad style; and that
2088 3    |            and harmony and grace and good rhythm depend on simplicity-I
2089 3    |             express the image of the good in their works, on pain,
2090 3    |              sounds, and receive the good in everything; and beauty,
2091 3    |           receives into his soul the good, and becomes noble and good,
2092 3    |          good, and becomes noble and good, he will justly blame and
2093 3    |           own belief is-not that the good body by any bodily excellence
2094 3    |            on the contrary, that the good soul, by her own excellence,
2095 3    |       outlines of the subject. ~Very good. ~That they must abstain
2096 3    |             our music, is simple and good; and especially the military
2097 3    |           that a man who is to be in good condition should take nothing
2098 3    |             ill, and that he sees no good in a life which is spent
2099 3    |           was not designed for their good, and though they were as
2100 3    |           you: Ought there not to be good physicians in a State, and
2101 3    |             number of constitutions, good and bad? and are not the
2102 3    |             I said, I too would have good judges and good physicians.
2103 3    |           would have good judges and good physicians. But do you know
2104 3    |             do you know whom I think good? ~Will you tell me? ~I will,
2105 3    |              the reason why in youth good men often appear to be simple,
2106 3    |            replied, and he will be a good man (which is my answer
2107 3    |            your question); for he is good who has a good soul. But
2108 3    |             for he is good who has a good soul. But the cunning and
2109 3    |           are more numerous than the good, and he meets with them
2110 3    |             true, he said. ~Then the good and wise judge whom we are
2111 3    |              softened beyond what is good for him. ~Yet surely, I
2112 3    |       accomplished, but if he have a good deal, then the power of
2113 3    |              be no difficulty. ~Very good, I said; then what is the
2114 3    |       himself, and that of which the good or evil fortune is supposed
2115 3    |      eagerness to do what is for the good of their country, and the
2116 3    |              unwillingly deprived of good, and willingly of evil?
2117 3    |           and to possess the truth a good? and you would agree that
2118 3    |              a noble bearing always, good guardians of themselves
2119 3    |              bound to advise for her good, and to defend her against
2120 3    |         their own brothers. ~You had good reason, he said, to be ashamed
2121 3    |            which they are to be such good guardians, as of the purity
2122 3    |               And would not a really good education furnish the best
2123 3    |          their own, they will become good housekeepers and husbandmen
2124 4    |           ordered with a view to the good of the whole we should be
2125 4    |              the proper limit. ~Very good, he said. ~Here then, I
2126 4    |         which we are prescribing, my good Adeimantus, are not, as
2127 4    |              force like a wheel. For good nurture and education implant
2128 4    |        nurture and education implant good constitutions, and these
2129 4    |             constitutions, and these good constitutions taking root
2130 4    |       constitutions taking root in a good education improve more and
2131 4    |            And when they have made a good beginning in play, and by
2132 4    |             have gained the habit of good order, then this habit of
2133 4    |              is reached which may be good, and may be the reverse
2134 4    |            and may be the reverse of good? ~That is not to be denied. ~
2135 4    |            impose laws about them on good men; what regulations are
2136 4    |            do not seem to be in your good graces. ~Assuredly not. ~
2137 4    |            is held to be a great and good statesman-do not these States
2138 4    |            them; for are they not as good as a play, trying their
2139 4    |              remind me, I will be as good as my word; but you must
2140 4    |           will be the residue? ~Very good. ~If there were four things,
2141 4    |             said to be wise as being good in counsel? ~Very true. ~
2142 4    |            counsel? ~Very true. ~And good counsel is clearly a kind
2143 4    |           city the title of wise and good in counsel? ~Certainly not;
2144 4    |              knowledge? ~The name of good in counsel and truly wise. ~
2145 4    |             is about as much as I am good for. ~Offer up a prayer
2146 4    |             quarry will not escape. ~Good news, he said. ~Truly, I
2147 4    |           fellows. ~Why so? ~Why, my good sir, at the beginning of
2148 4    |        accordingly we constructed as good a one as we could, knowing
2149 4    |             knowing well that in the good State justice would be found.
2150 4    |       proverb holds that hard is the good. ~Very true, I said; and
2151 4    |            the same, but different. ~Good. ~For example, I said, can
2152 4    |              desires drink only, but good drink, or food only, but
2153 4    |             drink, or food only, but good food; for good is the universal
2154 4    |             only, but good food; for good is the universal object
2155 4    |          necessarily be thirst after good drink; and the same is true
2156 4    |              or that the sciences of good and evil are therefore good
2157 4    |          good and evil are therefore good and evil; but only that,
2158 4    |              much nor little, nor of good nor bad, nor of any particular
2159 4    |        harmonious condition just and good action, and the knowledge
2160 4    |         exact truth, Socrates. ~Very good; and if we were to affirm
2161 4    |             same? ~True. ~And do not good practices lead to virtue,
2162 5    |            ADEIMANTUS.) ~SUCH is the good and true City or State,
2163 5    |          true City or State, and the good and true man is of the same
2164 5    |           influence on the State for good or for evil. And now, since
2165 5    |              or hostile. ~I said: My good friend, I suppose that you
2166 5    |             standard but that of the good. ~Very true, he replied. ~
2167 5    |             will you make for us, my good sir, against anyone who
2168 5    |            one has a body which is a good servant to his mind, while
2169 5    |        education which makes a man a good guardian will make a woman
2170 5    |         guardian will make a woman a good guardian; for their original
2171 5    |              of a State should be as good as possible? ~There can
2172 5    |            disputed. ~I think that a good many doubts may be raised
2173 5    |          they have of not doing much good to a capacity which was
2174 5    |             capacity which was never good for much. Now I myself am
2175 5    |           although they are all of a good sort, are not some better
2176 5    |              general? ~Undoubtedly. ~Good heavens! my dear friend,
2177 5    |         practitioner is deemed to be good enough; but when medicine
2178 5    |             deceit necessary for the good of their subjects: we were
2179 5    |            take the offspring of the good parents to the pen or fold,
2180 5    |           and more useful than their good and useful parents, whereas
2181 5    |           State-what is the greatest good, and what is the greatest
2182 5    |     description has the stamp of the good or of the evil? ~By all
2183 5    |             to reign? or any greater good than the bond of unity? ~
2184 5    |             citizens experiences any good or evil, the whole State
2185 5    |        fundamental principles. ~Very good. ~Our State, like every
2186 5    |           not likely to receive much good either at the hands of God
2187 5    |          admitted to be the greatest good, as was implied in our comparison
2188 5    |           the source of the greatest good to the State? ~Certainly. ~
2189 5    |        matter of necessity. ~That is good, he said. ~Yes; and there
2190 5    |               and there is a further good in the law; viz., that if
2191 5    |          always foreseen; there is a good deal of chance about them? ~
2192 5    |           upon the earth, authors of good, averters of evil, the guardians
2193 5    |             are deemed pre-eminently good, whether they die from age
2194 5    |               if we care to maintain good feeling with other Hellenes;
2195 5    |             to the barbarians? ~Very good, he said. ~And therefore
2196 5    |             will not the citizens be good and civilized? ~Yes, very
2197 5    |        previous enactments, are very good. ~But still I must say,
2198 5    |      feasible, would do all sorts of good to the State. I will add,
2199 5    |          only give you good-will and good advice, and, perhaps, I
2200 5    |             drinking any wine. ~Very good. ~And the same is true of
2201 5    |             power of judging what is good and what is not, such a
2202 5    |             a bad appetite and not a good one? ~Very true, he said. ~
2203 5    |              of truth. ~That is also good, he said; but I should like
2204 5    |              And of just and unjust, good and evil, and of every other
2205 5    |             certainly offer him some good advice, he replied. ~Come,
2206 5    |        Nothing can be more certain. ~Good. But if there be anything
2207 5    |              And will you be so very good as to answer one more question?
2208 6    |              be our guardians. ~Very good. ~Neither, I said, can there
2209 6    |            philosopher should have a good memory? ~Certainly. ~And
2210 6    |         pursue who has the gift of a good memory, and is quick to
2211 6    |             govern. The ruler who is good for anything ought not to
2212 6    |               And the reason why the good are useless has now been
2213 6    |             greater enemy to what is good than to what is not. ~Very
2214 6    |            capable of any very great good or very great evil? ~There
2215 6    |              not have the notions of good and evil which the public
2216 6    |         Indeed they do; and in right good earnest. ~Now what opinion
2217 6    |       whatever is saved and comes to good is saved by the power of

2234 6    |        define to be knowledge of the good, just as if we understood

2246 6    |              But of the child of the good who is likest him, I would
2247 6    |          many a beautiful and many a good, and so of other things
2248 6    |      absolute beauty and an absolute good, and of other things to
2249 6    |              I call the child of the good, whom the good begat in

2254 6    |           like the good, but not the good; the good has a place of
2255 6    |          good, but not the good; the good has a place of honor yet

2258 6    |             and essence, and yet the good is not essence, but far
2259 6    |              grows or is made. ~Very good. ~Would you not admit that
2260 7    |             of knowledge the idea of good appears last of all, and

2263 7    |           the beautiful and just and good in their truth. And thus
2264 7    |             in their eyes is a great good. Whereas the truth is that
2265 7    |              are to snatch the chief good, order there can never be;
2266 7    |         nothing which tended to that good which you are now seeking. ~

2270 7    |            view to the beautiful and good; but if pursued in any other
2271 7    |           perception of the absolute good, he at last finds himself
2272 7    |             of the conception of the good? ~Until the person is able
2273 7    |        define rationally the idea of good, and unless he can run the
