1510 Text |            freely and openly as every man now teaches justice and
1511 Text |             would appear to be a just man and a master of justice
1512 Text |             or of anything else; if a man is better able than we are
1513 Text |               knowledge which makes a man noble and good; and I give
1514 Text |               mode of payment:—When a man has been my pupil, if he

1517 Text |            means, he said; for many a man is brave and not just, or
1518 Text |               and should say, ‘Peace, man; nothing can be holy if
1519 Text |              you think that an unjust man can be temperate in his
1520 Text |           that which is expedient for man?~Yes, indeed, he said: and
1521 Text |              you mean inexpedient for man only, or inexpedient altogether?
1522 Text |             which are inexpedient for man, and some which are expedient;
1523 Text |         expedient nor inexpedient for man, but only for horses; and
1524 Text |          animal with the exception of man, but beneficial to human
1525 Text |             to the outward parts of a man, is a very great evil to

1527 Text |            that is my view, and every man ought to say what he thinks.~
1528 Text |          Hardly on the one hand can a man become truly good, built
1529 Text |               the utterance of a wise man: Hardly can a man be good’?
1530 Text |              a wise man: Hardly can a man be good’? Now you will observe
1531 Text |            own thought, ‘Hardly can a man become truly good’; and
1532 Text |           when he says, ‘Hardly can a man be good,’ which is the very
1533 Text |              view, that ‘Hardly can a man become truly good’?~Quite
1534 Text |               says, that hardly can a man become good, but hardly
1535 Text |         become good, but hardly can a man be good: and our friend
1536 Text |            the one hand, hardly can a man become good, For the gods
1537 Text |             else is an ‘awfully’ wise man, he asks me if I am not
1538 Text |      philosophy and speculation: If a man converses with the most
1539 Text |             only a perfectly educated man is capable of uttering such
1540 Text |       possible, and is not granted to man; God only has this blessing; ‘
1541 Text |               has this blessing; ‘but man cannot help being bad when
1542 Text |          circumstances overpowers the man of resources and skill and
1543 Text |             who does well is the good man, and he who does ill is
1544 Text |            what sort of doing makes a man good in letters? Clearly
1545 Text |            sort of well-doing makes a man a good physician? Clearly

1548 Text |            find a perfectly faultless man among those who partake
1549 Text |              voluntarily. For no wise man, as I believe, will allow
1550 Text |            the impression that a good man might often compel himself
1551 Text |           involuntary love, such as a man might feel to an unnatural
1552 Text |               increased: but the good man dissembles his feelings,
1553 Text |           satisfied’ he says, ‘when a man is neither bad nor very
1554 Text |            find a perfectly blameless man among those who partake
1555 Text |             in this sense I praise no man. But he who is moderately
1556 Text |            word, or thought; but if a man~‘Sees a thing when he is
1557 Text |               because I think that no man has a better understanding
1558 Text |              most things which a good man may be expected to understand,
1559 Text |               only claim to be a good man and a gentleman, for many
1560 Text |               And do you think that a man lives well who lives in
1561 Text |                their notion is that a man may have knowledge, and
1562 Text |        overcome, and will not allow a man, if he only knows the difference
1563 Text |           absurd which affirms that a man often does evil knowingly,
1564 Text |            again, when you say that a man knowingly refuses to do
1565 Text |            let us go on to say that a man does evil knowing that he
1566 Text |             is too ridiculous, that a man should do what he knows
1567 Text |            say, not as before, that a man does what is evil knowingly,
1568 Text |               the knowledge of when a man ought to choose the greater
1569 Text |             the advantage even over a man who has knowledge; and we
1570 Text |             And this inferiority of a man to himself is merely ignorance,
1571 Text |               as the superiority of a man to himself is wisdom.~They
1572 Text |            assented.~Then, I said, no man voluntarily pursues evil,
1573 Text |              human nature; and when a man is compelled to choose one
1574 Text |         former assertions are true, a man will pursue that which he
1575 Text |                And yet the courageous man and the coward alike go
1576 Text |               does not the courageous man also go to meet the better,
1577 Text |          admitted.~And the courageous man has no base fear or base
1578 Text |             nature, and I am the last man in the world to be envious.

1580 1    |           Sophocles-are you still the man you were? Peace, he replied;
1581 1    |            made; for to the good poor man old age cannot be a light
1582 1    |            burden, nor can a bad rich man ever have peace with himself. ~
1583 1    |            you, Socrates, that when a man thinks himself to be near
1584 1    |             sway the restless soul of man." ~How admirable are his
1585 1    |         riches, I do not say to every man, but to a good man, is,
1586 1    |              every man, but to a good man, is, that he has had no
1587 1    |              wealth has to give, to a man of sense this is in my opinion
1588 1    |              such a wise and inspired man, but his meaning, though
1589 1    |         justice is the giving to each man what is proper to him, and
1590 1    |               what result is the just man most able to do harm to
1591 1    |           with the other. ~But when a man is well, my dear Polemarchus,
1592 1    |             Exactly. ~But is the just man or the skilful player a
1593 1    |         bricks and stones is the just man a more useful or better
1594 1    |               partnership is the just man a better partner than the
1595 1    |          better partner than the just man? ~In a money partnership. ~
1596 1    |            for you do not want a just man to be your counsellor in
1597 1    |        purchase or sale of a horse; a man who is knowing about horses
1598 1    |             or gold in which the just man is to be preferred? ~When
1599 1    |           inferred. ~Then if the just man is good at keeping money,
1600 1    |              Then after all, the just man has turned out to be a thief.
1601 1    |          seeming? ~Surely, he said, a man may be expected to love
1602 1    |               the consequence: Many a man who is ignorant of human
1603 1    |               is the proper virtue of man? ~Certainly. ~And that human
1604 1    |              is not the act of a just man, but of the opposite, who
1605 1    |            true, Socrates. ~Then if a man says that justice consists
1606 1    |              is the debt which a just man owes to his friends, and
1607 1    |           Pittacus, or any other wise man or seer? ~I am quite ready
1608 1    |            some other rich and mighty man, who had a great opinion
1609 1    |              of his own, is told by a man of authority not to utter
1610 1    |             make the attempt, my dear man; but to avoid any misunderstanding
1611 1    |              is dissolved, the unjust man has always more and the
1612 1    |               an income-tax, the just man will pay more and the unjust
1613 1    |             office; there is the just man neglecting his affairs and
1614 1    |             in the case of the unjust man. I am speaking, as before,
1615 1    |               and thieves. But when a man besides taking away the
1616 1    |                whereas injustice is a man's own profit and interest. ~
1617 1    |              I said to him, excellent man, how suggestive are your
1618 1    |               to determine the way of man's life so small a matter
1619 1    |           that there may be an unjust man who is able to commit injustice
1620 1    |          Certainly not. ~Or because a man is in good health when he
1621 1    |               receiving pay because a man takes fees when he is engaged
1622 1    |               question? Does the just man try to gain any advantage
1623 1    |              is only whether the just man, while refusing to have
1624 1    |           have more than another just man, would wish and claim to
1625 1    |               have more than the just man and to do more than is just? ~
1626 1    |              all men. ~And the unjust man will strive and struggle
1627 1    |             obtain more than the just man or action, in order that
1628 1    |              you would admit that one man is a musician and another
1629 1    |            whether you think that any man who has knowledge ever would
1630 1    |               doing more than another man who has knowledge. Would
1631 1    |            the just soul and the just man will live well, and the
1632 1    |             live well, and the unjust man will live ill? ~That is
1633 1    |            can I say whether the just man is happy or unhappy. ~
1634 2    |               any theme about which a man of sense would oftener wish
1635 2    |               to do injustice. For no man who is worthy to be called
1636 2    |              is worthy to be called a man would ever submit to such
1637 2    |               act the just and unjust man to be proceeding along the
1638 2    |              the unjust the other; no man can be imagined to be of
1639 2    |             stand fast in justice. No man would keep his hands off
1640 2    |               be a great proof that a man is just, not willingly or
1641 2    |              I answer: Let the unjust man be entirely unjust, and
1642 2    |         entirely unjust, and the just man entirely just; nothing is
1643 2    |               in the perfectly unjust man we must assume the most
1644 2    |            side let us place the just man in his nobleness and simplicity,
1645 2    |           will tell you that the just man who is thought unjust will
1646 2    |             can honor the gods or any man whom he wants to honor in
1647 2    |             making an atonement for a man's own or his ancestor's
1648 2    |             this, Socrates, how can a man who has any superiority
1649 2    |             of the truth-but no other man. He only blames injustice,
1650 2    |           that of all the things of a man's soul which he has within
1651 2    |               and that injustice is a man's own profit and interest,
1652 2    |               We may suppose that one man is a husbandman, another
1653 2    |               better quality when one man does one thing which is
1654 2    |           will remember, was that one man cannot practise many arts
1655 2    |             so easily acquired that a man may be a warrior who is
1656 2    |           else? ~No tools will make a man a skilled workman or master
1657 2    |             we not say confidently of man also, that he who is likely
1658 2    |               in our State; the young man should not be told that
1659 2    |          would anyone, whether God or man, desire to make himself
1660 3    |            the fear of death? Can any man be courageous who has the
1661 3    |             of a poor and portionless man than rule over all the dead
1662 3    |            principle is that the good man will not consider death
1663 3    |            terrible to any other good man who is his comrade. ~Yes;
1664 3    |             in the dirt, calling each man loudly by his name." ~Still
1665 3    |               he himself, being but a man, can be dishonored by similar
1666 3    |              privilege, for a private man to lie to them in return
1667 3    |             to temperance for a young man to hear such words? or the
1668 3    |     undetected, but that justice is a man's own loss and another's
1669 3    |           home unscathed. And the old man went away in fear and silence,
1670 3    |            already laid down that one man can only do one thing well,
1671 3    |             true of imitation; no one man can imitate many things
1672 3    |              employed by a truly good man when he has anything to
1673 3    |        another sort will be used by a man of an opposite character
1674 3    |        answered, that a just and good man in the course of a narration
1675 3    |             play the part of the good man when he is acting firmly
1676 3    |          twofold or manifold, for one man plays one part only? ~Yes;
1677 3    |               or accent which a brave man utters in the hour of danger
1678 3    |            persuade God by prayer, or man by instruction and admonition,
1679 3    |              may be assumed. ~And the man who has the spirit of harmony
1680 3    |          replied; pleasure deprives a man of the use of his faculties
1681 3    |        athletes are well aware that a man who is to be in good condition
1682 3    |               I think not. ~Nor, if a man is to be in condition, would
1683 3    |              of good-breeding, that a man should have to go abroad
1684 3    |          stage of the evil in which a man is not only a life-long
1685 3    |              I said; a reward which a man might fairly expect who
1686 3    |         trouble. ~Yes, he said, and a man in his condition of life
1687 3    |              said. ~But with the rich man this is otherwise; of him
1688 3    |         Phocylides, that as soon as a man has a livelihood he should
1689 3    |         virtue obligatory on the rich man, or can he live without
1690 3    |             absolutely stopped; for a man is always fancying that
1691 3    |           begetting weaker sons;-if a man was not able to live in
1692 3    |               were enough to heal any man who before he was wounded
1693 3    |            bribed into healing a rich man who was at the point of
1694 3    |        replied, and he will be a good man (which is my answer to your

1697 3    |        virtuous, and not the vicious, man has wisdom-in my opinion. ~
1698 3    |               Very true. ~And, when a man allows music to play upon
1699 3    |            And so in gymnastics, if a man takes violent exercise and
1700 3    |              and he becomes twice the man that he was. ~Certainly. ~
1701 3    |              the State? ~True. ~And a man will be most likely to care
1702 3    |            resolution may go out of a man's mind either with his will

1704 3    |               the other citizens. Any man of sense must acknowledge
1705 4    |              one work, and then every man would do his own business,

1717 4    |           worse under control, then a man is said to be master of
1718 4    |     foundation of the State, that one man should practise one thing
1719 4    |                we often said that one man should do one thing only. ~

1726 4    |        starting up and saying that no man desires drink only, but
1727 4    |              he replied. ~And might a man be thirsty, and yet unwilling
1728 4    |       something in the soul bidding a man to drink, and something
1729 4    |         another; the one with which a man reasons, we may call the
1730 4    |          which we observe that when a man's desires violently prevail
1731 4    |        Certainly not. ~Suppose that a man thinks he has done a wrong
1732 4    |            overturn the whole life of man? ~Very true, he said. ~Both
1733 4    |              virtue of what quality a man will be just. ~That is very
1734 4    |           that the just State, or the man who is trained in the principles
1735 4    |               replied. ~Will the just man or citizen ever be guilty
1736 4    |         however, not with the outward man, but with the inward, which
1737 4    |               self and concernment of man: for the just man does not
1738 4    |      concernment of man: for the just man does not permit the several
1739 4    |               had discovered the just man and the just State, and
1740 4    |               still worth having to a man, if only he be allowed to
1741 4    |               tower of speculation, a man may look down and see that
1742 4    |        exercised by one distinguished man or by many. ~True, he replied. ~
1743 5    |          State, and the good and true man is of the same pattern;
1744 5    |              of high interest which a man honors and loves, among
1745 5    |              the law says that when a man is acquitted he is free
1746 5    |             that the sight of a naked man was ridiculous and improper;
1747 5    |             reason asserted, then the man was perceived to be a fool
1748 5    |               the fact is that when a man is out of his depth, whether
1749 5    |           Because I think that many a man falls into the practice
1750 5    |           that a woman differs from a man in respect of the sort of
1751 5    |          woman differs from that of a man? ~That will be quite fair. ~
1752 5    |              you mean to say that one man will acquire a thing easily,
1753 5    |     differences which distinguish the man gifted by nature from the
1754 5    |             for her to be beaten by a man is of all things the most
1755 5    |            she is a woman, or which a man has by virtue of his sex,
1756 5    |              a woman is inferior to a man. ~Very true. ~Then are we
1757 5    |               education which makes a man a good guardian will make
1758 5    |              in excellence, or is one man better than another? ~The
1759 5    |              the same. And as for the man who laughs at naked women
1760 5    |            doctor should be more of a man. ~That is quite true, he
1761 5    |           life, and thirty years in a man's? ~Which years do you mean
1762 5    |              bear them until forty; a man may begin at five-and-twenty,
1763 5    |          range at will, except that a man may not marry his daughter
1764 5    |         affected, and we say that the man has a pain in his finger;
1765 5    |             at the hands of God or of man? Are these to be or not
1766 5    |            mine" and "not mine;" each man dragging any acquisition
1767 5    |              the law; viz., that if a man has a quarrel with another
1768 5    |         speaking of. ~Yes, he said, a man has no need of eyes in order
1769 5    |                I said. That the brave man is to have more wives than
1770 5    |               Yes, I said; and when a man dies gloriously in war shall
1771 5    |              to require that the just man should in nothing fail of
1772 5    |              of a perfectly beautiful man, he was unable to show that
1773 5    |          unable to show that any such man could ever have existed? ~
1774 5    |            not the actual, whatever a man may think, always, in the
1775 5    |         fairly reply as you do; but a man of pleasure like yourself
1776 5    |            not-being? Reflect: when a man has an opinion, has he not
1777 5    |              them not to be angry; no man should be angry at what
1778 6    |           before of the lover and the man of ambition. ~True. ~And
1779 6    |            motives which make another man desirous of having and spending,
1780 6    |           will soon observe whether a man is just and gentle, or rude
1781 6    |               abuse the other sort of man, whom they call a good-for-nothing;
1782 6    |            the truth is, that, when a man is ill, whether he be rich
1783 6    |               a time will not a young man's heart, as they say, leap
1784 6    |               might compare them to a man who should study the tempers
1785 6    |           been describing? For when a man consorts with the many,
1786 6    |             he said. ~And what will a man such as he is be likely
1787 6    |           very qualities which make a man a philosopher, may, if he
1788 6    |           that direction; but a small man never was the doer of any
1789 6    |               been given to any other man. Those who belong to this
1790 6    |              one may be compared to a man who has fallen among wild
1791 6    |             likeness of virtue-such a man ruling in a city which bears
1792 6    |                conform himself. Can a man help imitating that with
1793 6    |               as far as the nature of man allows; but like everyone
1794 6    |              life into the image of a man; and this they will conceive
1795 6    |              philosophers? ~Surely no man, he said. ~And when they
1796 6    |              enough; let there be one man who has a city obedient
1797 6    |             then, which every soul of man pursues and makes the end
1798 7    |   contemplations to the evil state of man, misbehaving himself in
1799 7    |              ask whether that soul of man has come out of the brighter
1800 7    |          rather say, if he is to be a man at all. ~I should like to
1801 7    |            the same. In these cases a man is not compelled to ask
1802 7    |            and philosophical; for the man of war must learn the art
1803 7    |               believing that in every man there is an eye of the soul
1804 7    |            look upward, and whether a man gapes at the heavens or
1805 7    |           account of them. For when a man knows not his own first
1806 7    |             and be an unwearied solid man who is a lover of labor
1807 7    |               as, for example, when a man is a lover of gymnastics
1808 7    |          delusion when he said that a man when he grows old may learn
1809 7    |          fathers. ~True. ~Now, when a man is in this state, and the
1810 7    |            true, he said. ~But when a man begins to get older, he
1811 7    |             perfect State, and of the man who bears its image-there
1812 8    |          State was good, and that the man was good who answered to
1813 8    |              relate both of State and man. And you said further, that
1814 8    |        oligarchy and the oligarchical man; and then again we will
1815 8    |        democracy and the democratical man; and lastly, we will go
1816 8    |           spend that which is another man's on the gratification of
1817 8    |           true, he replied. ~Now what man answers to this form of
1818 8    |           slaves, unlike the educated man, who is too proud for that;
1819 8    |               takes up her abode in a man, and is the only saviour
1820 8    |             his father is only half a man and far too easy-going:
1821 8    |           this sort, and be more of a man than his father. He has
1822 8    |              result is that the young man, hearing and seeing all
1823 8    |                let us look at another man who, as AEschylus says, ~"
1824 8    |               have power and the poor man is deprived of it. ~I understand,
1825 8    |               and look up to the rich man, and make a ruler of him,
1826 8    |            him, and dishonor the poor man. ~They do so. ~They next
1827 8    |            their property, and a poor man were refused permission
1828 8    |             be liable. ~What evil? ~A man may sell all that he has,
1829 8    |             spending his money, was a man of this sort a whit more
1830 8    |             Does not the timocratical man change into the oligarchical
1831 8    |               all this-he is a ruined man, and his fear has taught
1832 8    |               and this is the sort of man whom the vulgar applaud.
1833 8    |              You see that he is not a man of cultivation, I said. ~
1834 8    |              strong in him, too. ~The man, then, will be at war with
1835 8    |            the ways of the democratic man, and bring him up for judgment. ~
1836 8    |               either by restricting a man's use of his own property,
1837 8    |               the wiry, sunburnt poor man may be placed in battle
1838 8    |       government is, such will be the man. ~Clearly, he said. ~In
1839 8    |               freedom and frankness-a man may say and do what he likes? ~'
1840 8    |            there never will be a good man who has not from his childhood
1841 8    |                I said, what manner of man the individual is, or rather
1842 8    |            And the desires of which a man may get rid, if he takes
1843 8    |              see how the democratical man goes out of the oligarchical:
1844 8    |            the process? ~When a young man who has been brought up
1845 8    |            citizens, so too the young man is changed by a class of
1846 8    |       reverence enters into the young man's soul, and order is restored. ~
1847 8    |              the citadel of the young man's soul, which they perceive
1848 8    |              do so. ~And so the young man returns into the country
1849 8    |            courage." And so the young man passes out of his original
1850 8    |              and spangled. And many a man and many a woman will take
1851 8    |              be called the democratic man. ~Let that be his place,
1852 8    |            the most beautiful of all, man and State alike, tyranny
1853 8    |              all alike; and the young man is on a level with the old,
1854 8    |             are under the dominion of man have in a democracy than
1855 8    |         Clearly when he does what the man is said to do in the tale
1856 8    |              them, making the life of man to disappear, and with unholy
1857 8    |              enemies, or from being a man become a wolf-that is, a
1858 8    |                Very true. ~And when a man who is wealthy and is also
1859 8    |         consider the happiness of the man, and also of the State in
1860 8    |           wise, who is wealthy; happy man, he is the enemy of them
1861 8    |            that when his son became a man he should himself be the
1862 9    |              all comes the tyrannical man; about whom we have once
1863 9    |           with all shame and sense, a man may not be ready to commit. ~
1864 9    |            true, he said. ~But when a man's pulse is healthy and temperate,
1865 9    |          attributed to the democratic man. He was supposed from his
1866 9    |               At last, being a better man than his corruptors, he
1867 9    |            and you must conceive this man, such as he is, to have
1868 9    |               in which the tyrannical man is generated. ~And is not
1869 9    |               said, has not a drunken man also the spirit of a tyrant? ~
1870 9    |             has. ~And you know that a man who is deranged, and not
1871 9    |             will. ~And the tyrannical man in the true sense of the
1872 9    |               Assuredly. ~Such is the man and such is his origin.
1873 9    |             probably. ~And if the old man and woman fight for their
1874 9    |            the character of the worst man: he is the waking reality
1875 9    |               must not the tyrannical man be like the tyrannical State,
1876 9    |           State, and the democratical man like the democratical State;
1877 9    |           virtue and happiness, so is man in relation to man? ~To
1878 9    |              so is man in relation to man? ~To be sure. ~Then comparing
1879 9    |            and enslaved. ~Then if the man is like the State, I said,
1880 9    |               such a State and such a man be always full of fear? ~
1881 9    |      Certainly not. ~And is there any man in whom you will find more
1882 9    |         misery than in the tyrannical man, who is in a fury of passions
1883 9    |               evils in the tyrannical man, what do you say of him? ~
1884 9    |               who will not suffer one man to be the master of another,
1885 9    |             own person-the tyrannical man, I mean-whom you just now
1886 9    |               a diseased or paralytic man who is compelled to pass
1887 9    |             miserable as himself. ~No man of any sense will dispute
1888 9    |              he who is the most royal man and king over himself; and
1889 9    |             the worst and most unjust man is also the most miserable,
1890 9    |           which, as we were saying, a man learns, another with which

1894 9    |             the covetous or ambitious man, but only by the philosopher? ~
1895 9    |     Unquestionably, he said, the wise man speaks with authority when
1896 9    |        succession, then, has the just man overthrown the unjust in
1897 9    |               Will not the passionate man who carries his passion
1898 9    |             Then if the good and just man be thus superior in pleasure
1899 9    |              a lion, and a third of a man, the second smaller than
1900 9    |               a single image, as of a man, so that he who is not able

1905 9    |               that which subjects the man to the beast?" He can hardly
1906 9    |           question: "Then how would a man profit if he received gold

1910 9    |           which will make him a worse man, even though he acquire
1911 9    |               this nobler purpose the man of understanding will devote

1914 10   |                 What an extraordinary man! ~Wait a little, and there
1915 10   |        informs us that he has found a man who knows all the arts,
1916 10   |                and of every action of man, is relative to the use
1917 10   |            And what is the faculty in man to which imitation is addressed? ~
1918 10   |               of circumstances is the man at unity with himself-or,
1919 10   |             we not saying that a good man, who has the misfortune
1920 10   |            sorrow? ~True. ~But when a man is drawn in two opposite
1921 10   |            the way, so in the soul of man, as we maintain, the imitative
1922 10   |               telling him what a good man he is, and making a fuss
1923 10   |               than appears, whether a man is to be good or bad. And
1924 10   |              I said, that the soul of man is immortal and imperishable? ~
1925 10   |           that the unjust and foolish man, when he is detected, perishes
1926 10   |             not to be affirmed by any man. ~And surely, he replied,
1927 10   |              in her own nature. Let a man do what is just, whether
1928 10   |              assumption that the just man should appear unjust and
1929 10   |             be our notion of the just man, that even when he is in
