 454 Text |              if, as you said at first, true virtue consists only in
 455 Text |          systematic whole; and this is true of all artists, and in the

 457 Text |             bodily excellence: is that true or not?~CALLICLES: True.~
 458 Text |                true or not?~CALLICLES: True.~SOCRATES: And ‘lawful’
 459 Text |             SOCRATES: And will not the true rhetorician who is honest
 460 Text |         rightly estimated. Is not that true?~CALLICLES: I will not say
 461 Text |               ambition to know what is true and what is false in this
 462 Text |     intemperate, is the bad soul. Very true.~And will not the temperate
 463 Text |            must be just and holy? Very true. And must he not be courageous?
 464 Text |            these things I affirm to be true. And if they are true, then
 465 Text |               be true. And if they are true, then I further affirm that
 466 Text |             all those consequences are true. And that which you thought
 467 Text |                admit out of modesty is true, viz., that, to do injustice,
 468 Text |              has also turned out to be true.~And now, these things being
 469 Text |             and if what I am saying is true, and injustice is the greatest

 471 Text |               CALLICLES: That again is true.~SOCRATES: Then the only
 472 Text |                injury?~CALLICLES: Very true.~SOCRATES: But will he also
 473 Text |               not the very opposite be true,—if he is to be like the
 474 Text |                be punished?~CALLICLES: True.~SOCRATES: And by the imitation
 475 Text |             man will kill the good and true.~CALLICLES: And is not that
 476 Text |                would deserve to be the true natural friend of the Athenian
 477 Text |               we drew?~CALLICLES: Very true.~SOCRATES: And the one which
 478 Text |              or soul?~CALLICLES: Quite true.~SOCRATES: And must we not
 479 Text |       necessary, Callicles?~CALLICLES: True.~SOCRATES: In the second
 480 Text |            undertake them. Is not this true?~CALLICLES: Certainly.~SOCRATES:
 481 Text |              foolish thing?~CALLICLES: True.~SOCRATES: And now, my friend,
 482 Text |               unjust?~CALLICLES: Quite true.~SOCRATES: And are not just
 483 Text |             you admitted that this was true of our present statesmen,
 484 Text |             present statesmen, but not true of former ones, and you
 485 Text |     rhetoricians, they did not use the true art of rhetoric or of flattery,
 486 Text |              and medicine which is the true minister of the body, and
 487 Text |               that all this is equally true of the soul, you seem at
 488 Text |             injustice.~CALLICLES: Very true.~SOCRATES: And he who removes
 489 Text |              dishonourable?~CALLICLES: True.~SOCRATES: And why? Because
 490 Text |                 otherwise not. Is this true?~CALLICLES: It is.~SOCRATES:

 492 Text |              which, as I believe, is a true tale, for I mean to speak
 493 Text |           imagine that this is equally true of the soul, Callicles;
