Wherefore men say that the Gods have a 3 I, II | instinct is implanted in all men by nature, and yet he who 4 I, II | But justice is the bond of men in states, for the administration 5 I, V | for example, to rule over men is better than to rule over 6 I, V | of animals in relation to men; for tame animals have a 7 I, V | soul and body, or between men and animals (as in the case 8 I, V | freemen. And doubtless if men differed from one another 9 I, V | statues of the Gods do from men, all would acknowledge that 10 I, V | is clear, then, that some men are by nature free, and 11 I, VI | slave. Were this the case, men of the highest rank would 12 I, VI | evil? They think that as men and animals beget men and 13 I, VI | as men and animals beget men and animals, so from good 14 I, VI | and animals, so from good men a good man springs. But 15 I, VIII| lives both of animals and men; they must all have food, 16 I, VIII| themselves. In the lives of men too there is a great difference. 17 I, VIII| any way which the needs of men may require. Property, in 18 I, VIII| wild beasts, and against men who, though intended by 19 I, IX | wealth; had it been so, men would have ceased to exchange 20 I, IX | for the satisfaction of men’s natural wants. The other 21 I, IX | carried about, and hence men agreed to employ in their 22 I, IX | more complicated as soon as men learned by experience whence 23 I, IX | before him into gold?~Hence men seek after a better notion 24 I, IX | origin of this disposition in men is that they are intent 25 I, IX | health. Nevertheless, some men turn every quality or art 26 I, IX | is unnecessary, and why men want it; and also the necessary 27 I, X | political science does not make men, but takes them from nature 28 I, X | unnatural, and a mode by which men gain from one another. The 29 I, XI | more so; hence some public men devote themselves entirely 30 I, XII | Zeus "father of Gods and men," because he is the king 31 I, XIII| management attends more to men than to the acquisition 32 I, XIII| other hand, since they are men and share in rational principle, 33 II, II | made up only of so many men, but of different kinds 34 II, II | but of different kinds of men; for similars do not constitute 35 II, III | follow from the fact "of all men saying "mine" and "not mine" 36 II, V | is always a difficulty in men living together and having 37 II, V | has a distinct interest, men will not complain of one 38 II, V | legislator is to create in men this benevolent disposition. 39 II, V | for all, or almost all, men love money and other such 40 II, V | of property. No one, when men have all things in common, 41 II, V | appearance of benevolence; men readily listen to it, and 42 II, V | perjury, flatteries of rich men and the like, which are 43 II, V | together; in other cases men do not use the knowledge 44 II, V | retains private property, the men will see to the fields, 45 II, V | analogy of the animals, that men and women should follow 46 II, V | mingles in the souls of men is not at one time given 47 II, VII | should become poor; for men of ruined fortunes are sure 48 II, VII | a sort that predisposes men to avarice, or ambition, 49 II, VII | sole incentive to crime; men also wish to enjoy themselves 50 II, VII | excess and not by necessity. Men do not become tyrants in 51 II, VII | sum has become customary, men always want more and more 52 II, VII | to be satisfied, and most men live only for the gratification 53 II, VIII| shall be held guilty. Again, men in general desire the good, 54 II, VIII| concerning the earth-born men); and it would be ridiculous 55 II, IX | about equally divided into men and women; and, therefore, 56 II, IX | intention in the case of the men, but he has neglected the 57 II, IX | prone to the love either of men or of women. This was exemplified 58 II, IX | Arcadians and Messenians, the men were long away from home, 59 II, IX | single defeat; the want of men was their ruin. There is 60 II, IX | into the hands of very poor men, who, being badly off, are 61 II, IX | they are quite ordinary men, and therefore they should 62 II, IX | that the elders are good men and well trained in manly 63 II, IX | well as the body. And when men have been educated in such 64 II, IX | could make them really good men; at least he shows a great 65 II, IX | that the goods for which men contend are to be acquired 66 II, X | the common meals, so that men, women, and children are 67 II, X | encourages the separation of men from women, lest they should 68 II, X | and the companionship of men with one another—whether 69 II, XI | opinion is on their side. For men in general think that magistrates 70 II, XII | from the notables and the men of wealth, that is to say, 71 III, I | the register, or to old men who have been relieved from 72 III, III | further asked: When are men, living in the same place, 73 III, III | that the generations of men, like the rivers, are the 74 III, IV | entirely composed of good men, and yet each citizen is 75 III, IV | hand, it may be argued that men are praised for knowing 76 III, IV | temperance and courage of men and women differ. For a 77 III, V | citizen equally with grown-up men, who are citizens absolutely, 78 III, VI | political animal. And therefore, men, even when they do not require 79 III, VI | community. And we all see that men cling to life even at the 80 III, VI | revenues and from office, men want to be always in office. 81 III, VII | the rulers are the best men, or because they have at 82 III, VIII| society; oligarchy is when men of property have the government 83 III, VIII| the indigent, and not the men of property, are the rulers. 84 III, VIII| But what if the many are men of property and have the 85 III, VIII| poverty and wealth. Wherever men rule by reason of their 86 III, IX | and democratical. For all men cling to justice of some 87 III, IX | persons are omitted, then men judge erroneously. The reason 88 III, IX | the capital point. For if men met and associated out of 89 III, IX | characteristic of states. Again, if men dwelt at a distance from 90 III, IX | sacrifices, amusements which draw men together. But these are 91 III, X | for he only coerces other men by superior power, just 92 III, X | honor; and if one set of men always holds them, the rest 93 III, XI | combination of qualities in good men, who differ from any individual 94 III, XI | democracy, and to all bodies of men, is not clear. Or rather, 95 III, XI | it will be asked, do some men differ from brutes? But 96 III, XI | But there may be bodies of men about whom our statement 97 III, XI | state in which many poor men are excluded from office 98 III, XI | by physicians, so ought men in general to be called 99 III, XII | the common interest. All men think justice to be a sort 100 III, XII | good reason why in politics men do not ground their claim 101 III, XII | composed entirely of poor men than entirely of slaves. 102 III, XIII| principles are perversions. All men have a claim in a certain 103 III, XIII| are likely to be better men, for nobility is excellence 104 III, XIII| the principles on which men claim to rule and to hold 105 III, XIII| rule and to hold all other men in subjection to them are 106 III, XIII| truly be deemed a God among men. Hence we see that legislation 107 III, XIII| in capacity; and that for men of pre-eminent virtue there 108 III, XIII| to cut off the principal men in the state; and this is 109 III, XIII| order of nature, and that men like him should be kings 110 III, XV | that the majority are good men and good citizens, and ask 111 III, XV | we call the rule of many men, who are all of them good, 112 III, XV | provided only that a number of men equal in virtue can be found.~ 113 III, XV | when cities were small, men of eminent virtue were few. 114 III, XV | only be bestowed by good men. But when many persons equal 115 III, XVI | this is admitted; but then men say that to give authority 116 III, XVI | when they are the best of men. The law is reason unaffected 117 III, XVI | that in seeking for justice men seek for the mean or neutral, 118 III, XVI | is better, still two good men are better than one: this 119 III, XVI | matters of detail about which men deliberate cannot be included 120 III, XVII| is manifest that, where men are alike and equal, it 121 III, XVII| good man be lord over good men, nor a bad man over bad; 122 III, XVII| to be ruled as freemen by men whose virtue renders them 123 IV, I | to the great majority of men (4). And if a man does not 124 IV, I | introduced should be one which men, starting from their existing 125 IV, III | two principal forms: as men say of the winds that there 126 IV, IV | of tall or good-looking men is small. And yet oligarchy 127 IV, VI | rule themselves. But if the men of property in the state 128 IV, VII | government formed of the best men absolutely, and not merely 129 IV, VII | absolutely, and not merely of men who are good when tried 130 IV, VII | the aim of the community, men of merit and reputation 131 IV, VIII| are three grounds on which men claim an equal share in 132 IV, XI | and the best life for most men, neither assuming a standard 133 IV, XI | in that condition of life men are most ready to follow 134 IV, XI | springs from friendship; when men are at enmity with one another, 135 IV, XI | care about equality; all men are seeking for dominion, 136 IV, XII | to what and what kind of men. I may begin by assuming, 137 IV, XV | There must be some body of men whose duty is to prepare 138 V, I | in all respects; because men are equally free, they claim 139 V, I | but then they are of all men the least inclined to do 140 V, I | superiority which is claimed by men of rank; for they are thought 141 V, I | affecting the constitution, when men seek to change from an existing 142 V, I | As I was saying before, men agree that justice in the 143 V, II | desire of equality, when men think that they are equal 144 V, II | of revolutions, whereby men are themselves affected 145 V, II | a different manner, for men are excited against one 146 V, III | is a cause of revolution. Men who are themselves dishonored 147 V, III | revolution is fear. Either men have committed wrong, and 148 V, IV | love-quarrel of two young men, who were in the government. 149 V, IV | quarrels of chiefs and mighty men. The mistake lies in the 150 V, V | information against rich men until they compel them to 151 V, V | led a faction against the men of the plain, and Theagenes 152 V, VII | revolutions occur when great men who are at least of equal 153 V, VII | greater the strength, and when men are equal they are contented. 154 V, VII | five years, and some young men who were popular with the 155 V, VIII| In the first place, then, men should guard against the 156 V, VIII| are either the principal men of the state, who in democracies 157 V, VIII| honor for a short time. For men are easily spoilt; not every 158 V, IX | knowledge is of a sort which all men possess.~It may, however, 159 V, IX | public interest. But may not men have both of them and yet 160 V, IX | the majority and freedom. Men think that what is just 161 V, IX | But this is all wrong; men should not think it slavery 162 V, X | against them are contrived by men of this dass, who either 163 V, X | stir up anger, and when men are angry, they commonly 164 V, X | general he was.~And sometimes men are actuated by more than 165 V, X | already mentioned. There are men who will not risk their 166 V, X | rare, however, to find such men; he who would kill a tyrant 167 V, X | opposed in principle; and all men, if they can, do what they 168 V, X | chief motives which induce men to attack tyrannies—hatred 169 V, X | rational principle. And men are very apt to give way 170 V, X | matters; but in our own day men are more upon an equality, 171 V, XI | high; he must put to death men of spirit; he must not allow 172 V, XI | because he knows that all men want to overthrow him, and 173 V, XI | tyrants are always fond of bad men, because they love to be 174 V, XI | himself by flattery; good men love others, or at any rate 175 V, XI | is not overthrown until men begin to have confidence 176 V, XI | one another, and to other men, and do not inform against 177 V, XI | another or against other men; (3) the tyrant desires 178 V, XI | but dignified, and when men meet him they should look 179 V, XI | sensuality, but want other men to see them, that they may 180 V, XI | service of the Gods; for if men think that a ruler is religious 181 V, XI | foolish. And he should honor men of merit, and make them 182 V, XI | careful of his behavior to men who are lovers of honor; 183 V, XI | been insulted; for when men are led away by passion 184 V, XI | of two classes, of poor men and of rich, the tyrant 185 V, XI | he will rule over better men whose spirits are not crushed, 186 V, XI | spirits are not crushed, over men to whom he himself is not 187 V, XII | certain times produces bad men who will not submit to education; 188 V, XII | for there may well be some men who cannot be educated and 189 V, XII | all are not equally good men? Nobody need be any poorer 190 V, XII | of government. Again, if men are deprived of the honors 191 VI, II | to the common opinion of men, can only be enjoyed in 192 VI, II | has arisen the claim of men to be ruled by none, if 193 VI, II | should be brief, that all men should sit in judgment, 194 VI, II | numbers. And in this way men think that they will secure 195 VI, III | assign to a thousand poor men the property qualifications 196 VI, III | qualifications of five hundred rich men? and shall we give the thousand 197 VI, IV | will not be governed by men who are their inferiors, 198 VI, VII | this sort, and only rich men can afford to keep horses. 199 VI, VII | or, as at Massalia, to men of merit who are selected 200 VI, VIII| fulfill the purpose for which men come together into one state. 201 VI, VIII| the executioners; but good men do all they can to avoid 202 VII, I | as they are uttered, but men differ about the degree 203 VII, I | eligible at all, and all wise men ought to choose them for 204 VII, II | constitution is to give men despotic power over their 205 VII, II | where we are told that men obtain the honor of wearing 206 VII, II | passengers in his ship. Yet most men appear to think that the 207 VII, II | statesmanship, and what men affirm to be unjust and 208 VII, II | themselves, but where other men are concerned they care 209 VII, II | to serve, in which case men have a right to command, 210 VII, II | how states and races of men and communities may participate 211 VII, III | as much superior to other men as a husband is to a wife, 212 VII, V | is much disputed, because men are inclined to rush into 213 VII, VII | love of freedom are in all men based upon this quality, 214 VII, VII | before, is a feeling which men show most strongly towards 215 VII, VIII| the various qualities of men are clearly the reason why 216 VII, VIII| government; for different men seek after happiness in 217 VII, VIII| interest, and what is just in men’s dealings with one another.~ 218 VII, IX | best governed and possesses men who are just absolutely, 219 VII, IX | who has given to young men strength and to older men 220 VII, IX | men strength and to older men wisdom. Such a distribution 221 VII, IX | active life, to the old men of these two classes should 222 VII, X | supposed to have taught men the inventions which were 223 VII, X | slaves taken from among men who are not all of the same 224 VII, X | in the private estates of men of property, the remainder 225 VII, XI | invent others, for when men are well prepared no enemy 226 VII, XII | gymnastic exercises of the elder men were performed there. For 227 VII, XII | boys, while the grown-up men remain with the magistrates; 228 VII, XIII| right end is set before men, but in practice they fail 229 VII, XIII| and well-being which all men manifestly desire, some 230 VII, XIII| goods, in a less degree when men are in a good state, in 231 VII, XIII| sense good). This makes men fancy that external goods 232 VII, XIII| three things which make men good and virtuous; these 233 VII, XIII| they do not always agree; men do many things against habit 234 VII, XIV | this question. Now, if some men excelled others in the same 235 VII, XIV | to command well must, as men say, first of all learn 236 VII, XIV | see that they become good men, and by what means this 237 VII, XIV | human lives and actions. For men must be able to engage in 238 VII, XIV | refuted by facts. For most men desire empire in the hope 239 VII, XIV | citizens.~Neither should men study war with a view to 240 VII, XV | cannot face danger like men are the slaves of any invader. 241 VII, XV | leisure, for war compels men to be just and temperate, 242 VII, XV | If it be disgraceful in men not to be able to use the 243 VII, XV | while agreeing with other men in their conception of the 244 VII, XV | to a further end. Now, in men rational principle and mind 245 VII, XVI | in those cities in which men and women are accustomed 246 VII, XVI | apt to be wanton; and in men too the bodily frame is 247 VII, XVI | eighteen years of age, and men at seven and thirty; then 248 VII, XVI | determined at what ages men and women are to begin their 249 VII, XVI | offspring for the state; men who are too old, like men 250 VII, XVI | men who are too old, like men who are too young, produce 251 VII, XVI | the children of very old men are weakly. The limit then, 252 VIII, III | raised—in our own day most men cultivate it for the sake 253 VIII, III | happiness is an end, since all men deem it to be accompanied 254 VIII, III | of passing life than when men’s hearts are merry and~The 255 VIII, IV | ready enough to kill and eat men, such as the Achaeans and 256 VIII, IV | prize both as boys and as men; their early training and 257 VIII, IV | exercise and strict diet. Men ought not to labor at the 258 VIII, V | Euripides says? And for this end men also appoint music, and 259 VIII, V | is made up of both. All men agree that music is one 260 VIII, V | because it makes the hearts of men glad: so that on this ground 261 VIII, V | relaxation. And whereas men rarely attain the end, but 262 VIII, V | It sometimes happens that men make amusement the end, 263 VIII, V | this to be the reason why men seek happiness from these 264 VIII, V | the soul. Besides, when men hear imitations, even apart 265 VIII, V | far as there is any, young men should be taught to look, 266 VIII, V | each. Some of them make men sad and grave, like the 267 VIII, VI | Later experience enabled men to judge what was or was 268 VIII, VII | appropriate Phrygian. All men agree that the Dorian music 269 VIII, VII | wine rather tends to excite men), but because they have 270 VIII, VII | to the time of life when men begin to grow old, they
