121 3    |          maintain, neither we nor our guardians, whom we have to educate,

124 3    |            have most the character of guardians? ~Yes. ~And to this end
125 3    |      selection. Let us note among the guardians those who in their whole
126 3    |              inquire who are the best guardians of their own conviction
127 3    |            noble bearing always, good guardians of themselves and of the

129 3    |             men whom we before called guardians may be more properly designated
130 3    |              they are to be such good guardians, as of the purity of the

133 3    |             and husbandmen instead of guardians, enemies and tyrants instead

136 4    |            compel us to assign to the guardians a sort of happiness which
137 4    |           will make them anything but guardians; for we too can clothe our

140 4    |             to the State. We mean our guardians to be true saviours and
141 4    |             whether in appointing our guardians we would look to their greatest
142 4    |         latter be the truth, then the guardians and auxiliaries, and all
143 4    |               said, against which the guardians will have to watch, or they
144 4    |            have to be conveyed to our guardians: Let our city be accounted
145 4    |        degrading the offspring of the guardians when inferior, and of elevating
146 4    |            elevating into the rank of guardians the offspring of the lower
147 4    |               own. ~Then, I said, our guardians must lay the foundations

149 4    |             now describing as perfect guardians. ~And what is the name which
150 4    |               city more of these true guardians or more smiths? ~The smiths,
151 4    |               numerous. ~Will not the guardians be the smallest of all the
152 4    |               that of legislators and guardians, for which he is unfitted,
153 5    |               is to prevail among our guardians? and how shall we manage
154 5    |           that the men were to be the guardians and watch-dogs of the herd. ~
155 5    |         continue to maintain that our guardians and their wives ought to

157 5    |          founding do you conceive the guardians who have been brought up
158 5    |              not further say that our guardians are the best of our citizens? ~
159 5    |             Then let the wives of our guardians strip, for their virtue

164 5    |            danger of our herd, as the guardians may be termed, breaking
165 5    |              done if the breed of the guardians is to be kept pure. ~They

167 5    |                according to which the guardians of our State are to have

171 5    |               their true character of guardians. ~Right, he replied. ~Both
172 5    |               to make them more truly guardians; they will not tear the
173 5    |            any way. For there are two guardians, shame and fear, mighty
174 5    |            want of peace. ~And as the guardians will never quarrel among
175 5    |              accused us of making our guardians unhappy-they had nothing
176 5    |            divided, we would make our guardians truly guardians, and that
177 5    |              make our guardians truly guardians, and that we were fashioning
178 5    |         elsewhere, that if any of our guardians shall try to be happy in
179 5    |      practising their duties than our guardians will be? ~The idea is ridiculous,
180 5    |           good, averters of evil, the guardians of speech-gifted men"? ~
181 5    |           enact this law also for our guardians: that they are neither to
182 6    |             our State-let them be our guardians. ~Very good. ~Neither, I
183 6    |                 And shall they be our guardians when there are others who,
184 7    |            whom we shall compel to be guardians? Surely they will be the
185 7    |             consider in what way such guardians will be produced, and how
186 7    |           gymnastics, and trained the guardians by the influences of habit,
187 8    |               be warrior athletes and guardians, receiving from the other
188 8    |              of births. For when your guardians are ignorant of the law
189 8    |               they come into power as guardians they will soon be found
190 8    |              gods, and are their best guardians and sentinels. ~None better. ~
