 42 1    |            himself acknowledges that rulers may sometime command what
 43 1    |          what was commanded by their rulers is just. ~Yes, Cleitophon,
 44 1    |           arts are the superiors and rulers of their own subjects? ~
 45 1    |             further imagine that the rulers of States, if they are true
 46 1    |             States, if they are true rulers, never think of their subjects
 47 1    |           you seem to think that the rulers in States, that is to say,
 48 1    |             that is to say, the true rulers, like being in authority. ~
 49 1    |              therefore in order that rulers may be willing to rule,
 50 3    |              privilege of lying, the rulers of the State should be the
 51 3    |           the kind; and although the rulers have this privilege, for
 52 3    |         supposed to address to their rulers, whether in verse or prose,

 59 3    |           under the command of their rulers. Let them look round and
 60 4    |            be the best limit for our rulers to fix when they are considering
 61 4    |            all, the attention of our rulers should be directed-that
 62 4    |          there be any State in which rulers and subjects will be agreed
 63 4    |           temperance be found-in the rulers or in the subjects? ~In
 64 4    |             whether the agreement of rulers and subjects, or the preservation

 68 5    |           proceed to inquire how the rulers will carry out these arrangements,
 69 5    |           First, I think that if our rulers and their auxiliaries are
 70 5    |            an unholy thing which the rulers will forbid. ~Yes, he said,
 71 5    |            consummate skill will our rulers need if the same principle

 76 5    |             own ill-luck and not the rulers. ~To be sure, he said. ~
 77 5    |          without the sanction of the rulers; for we shall say that he
 78 5    |         State, like every other, has rulers and subjects? ~True. ~All
 79 5    |           which people give to their rulers in other States? ~Generally
 80 5    |         States they simply call them rulers. ~And in our State what
 81 5    |      citizens do the people give the rulers? ~They are called saviours
 82 5    |            replied. ~And what do the rulers call the people? ~Their
 83 5    |             Slaves. ~And what do the rulers call one another in other
 84 6    |            two classes should be the rulers of our State? ~And how can
 85 6    |            and those only, should be rulers in the State. ~What do you
 86 6    |           and the appointment of the rulers, because I knew that the

 92 7    |              will be the ruin of the rulers themselves and of the whole

 94 7    |            remember, I said, how the rulers were chosen before? ~Certainly,
