  1      I, II  |            working and power; and we ought not to say that they are
  2      I, III |         these three relations is and ought to be: I mean the relation
  3      I, VI  |          that the superior in virtue ought to rule, or be master. Others,
  4      I, VIII|             hunting, an art which we ought to practice against wild
  5      I, IX  |             their lives is that they ought either to increase their
  6      I, XI  |              to give a return. A man ought to know which of these pay
  7      I, XI  |    themselves. And statesmen as well ought to know these things; for
  8      I, XIII|       whether they too have virtues: ought a woman to be temperate
  9      I, XIII|             supposition that the one ought, and that the other ought
 10      I, XIII|            ought, and that the other ought not, to have virtue! For
 11      I, XIII|            his duty. Hence the ruler ought to have moral virtue in
 12      I, XIII|      manifest, then, that the master ought to be the source of such
 13     II, II  |          than the family. So that we ought not to attain this greatest
 14     II, IV  |          opposite of which good laws ought to have, and the intention
 15     II, V   |          private property.~Again, we ought to reckon, not only the
 16     II, V   |             says that the legislator ought to make the whole state
 17     II, VI  |      certainly thinks that the women ought to share in the education
 18     II, VI  |             said that the legislator ought to have his eye directed
 19     II, VI  |           and the number of citizens ought to remain the same, although
 20     II, VI  |           chosen, he says that there ought to be an equal number of
 21     II, VII |              the citizens of a state ought to have equal possessions.
 22     II, VII |        Clearly, then, the legislator ought not only to aim at the equalization
 23     II, VII |          that, in his opinion, there ought to be in states, not only
 24     II, VII |          that, in his opinion, there ought to be in be in having one
 25     II, VIII|              decisions of the courts ought not to be given by the use
 26     II, VIII|            thinks that the defendant ought not to pay twenty minae,
 27     II, VIII|              been written down, they ought not always to remain unaltered.
 28     II, IX  |              is perfectly right, but ought not to be carried on in
 29     II, IX  |          affairs. And therefore they ought not to be irresponsible;
 30     II, IX  |              well. The entertainment ought to have been provided at
 31    III, II  |            is, but whether he who is ought to be a citizen; and there
 32    III, II  |           act of the state; for what ought not to be is what is false.
 33    III, II  |             who hold office, and yet ought not to hold office, whom
 34    III, III |                     III~Whether they ought to be so or not is a question
 35    III, III |            question, whether a state ought or ought not to fulfill
 36    III, III |             whether a state ought or ought not to fulfill engagements
 37    III, IV  |       statesman and the good citizen ought not to learn the crafts
 38    III, IV  |           same, but the good citizen ought to be capable of both; he
 39    III, VI  |             citizens think that they ought to hold office by turns.
 40    III, VII |             they are truly citizens, ought to participate in its advantages.
 41    III, VIII|            not regard practice only, ought not to overlook or omit
 42    III, IX  |           the other are such as they ought to be, nor see that those
 43    III, X   |           are wrong and unjust.~Then ought the good to rule and have
 44    III, XI  |         principle that the multitude ought to be supreme rather than
 45    III, XI  |              As, then, the physician ought to be called to account
 46    III, XI  |            account by physicians, so ought men in general to be called
 47    III, XII |             persons, and that equals ought to have equality. But there
 48    III, XII |            say that offices of state ought to be unequally distributed
 49    III, XII |          others in his art, still he ought to have the best flutes
 50    III, XIII|           who are equal in one thing ought not to have an equal share
 51    III, XIII|            at all in determining who ought to rule in each of the above-mentioned
 52    III, XIII|            rest, it is clear that he ought to be ruler of them. In
 53    III, XIII|           distinguished by his birth ought to have the superiority
 54    III, XIII|         stronger than the many, they ought to rule, and not the many.~
 55    III, XIII|             to make the justest laws ought to legislate with a view
 56    III, XIII|        exiled; on the other hand, he ought not to be a subject—that
 57    III, XVI |              thinks that his friends ought to rule, he must think that
 58    III, XVI |             himself and like himself ought to rule equally with himself.
 59     IV, I   |             legislator and statesman ought to be acquainted, not only
 60     IV, I   |              of an inferior type.~He ought, moreover, to know (4) the
 61     IV, I   | constitutions; for the laws are, and ought to be, relative to the constitution,
 62     IV, II  |        consider in what manner a man ought to proceed who desires to
 63     IV, IV  |             no constitution. The law ought to be supreme over all,
 64     IV, IX  |              so-called aristocracies ought to be framed.~
 65     IV, XI  |            the same path. But a city ought to be composed, as far as
 66     IV, XII |       permanence of the constitution ought to be stronger than that
 67     IV, XIV |        oligarchies either the people ought to accept the measures of
 68     IV, XV  |         proper to which, or how they ought to be established, will
 69      V, I   |          that as they are equal they ought to be equal in all things;
 70      V, III |            members, and every member ought to grow in proportion, that
 71      V, VIII|              individuals also, there ought to be a magistracy which
 72      V, IX  |               In making the election ought we not to consider two points?
 73      V, IX  |         legislator and the statesman ought to know what democratical
 74      V, IX  |          them which I can"; but they ought to exhibit and to entertain
 75      V, XI  |             of war, and generally he ought to make himself the guardian
 76      V, XI  |             before about tyrants. He ought to adorn and improve his
 77      V, XI  |         affected. Therefore a tyrant ought either not to commit such
 78      V, XI  |            the tyrant is obvious. He ought to show himself to his subjects
 79     VI, I   |             about them. Moreover, we ought to consider the various
 80     VI, III |          this is not to be the mode, ought we, still retaining the
 81     VI, III |            of the rich put together, ought, upon the oligarchical principle,
 82     VI, IV  |              population the assembly ought not to meet, in democracies,
 83     VI, V   |      notables, although the citizens ought to be all attached to the
 84     VI, V   |          manner in which democracies ought to be constituted.~
 85     VI, VI  |            government. In this there ought to be two standards of qualification;
 86     VI, VII |              the highest rank, which ought to be in the hands of the
 87     VI, VIII|           fit to guard others. There ought not therefore to be a single
 88    VII, I   |             the best form of a state ought first to determine which
 89    VII, I   |              circumstances admit. We ought therefore to ascertain,
 90    VII, I   |             at all, and all wise men ought to choose them for the sake
 91    VII, II  |              be subjects; just as we ought not to hunt mankind, whether
 92    VII, III |            anything to his neighbor, ought rather to take away his
 93    VII, III |             the best actions, him we ought to follow and obey, but
 94    VII, IV  |           state in order to be happy ought to be large; but even if
 95    VII, IV  |            inhabitants; whereas they ought to regard, not their number,
 96    VII, IV  |             greatness by numbers, we ought not to include everybody,
 97    VII, IV  |           too few is not, as a state ought to be, self-sufficing; when
 98    VII, IV  |             haphazard, which clearly ought not to be. Besides, in an
 99    VII, VI  |           have in excess; for a city ought to be a market, not indeed
100    VII, VI  |              revenue, and if a state ought not to desire profit of
101    VII, VI  |        desire profit of this kind it ought not to have such an emporium.
102    VII, VII |             they do not know, for we ought not to be out of temper
103    VII, VII |               I say "nearly," for we ought not to require the same
104    VII, IX  |              to consider whether all ought to share in every sort of
105    VII, X   |          philosophers that the state ought to be divided into classes,
106    VII, X   |       already remarked that the land ought to belong to those who possess
107    VII, X   |              and that the husbandmen ought to be a class distinct from
108    VII, X   |              not think that property ought to be common, as some maintain,
109    VII, X   |           for taking this view. They ought, however, to be open to
110    VII, XI  |             good, the drinking water ought to be separated from that
111    VII, XII |              the city, respectively, ought to be established near an
112    VII, XIII|             persuades them that they ought. We have already determined
113    VII, XIV |          things which the legislator ought to implant in the minds
114    VII, XV  |         therefore evident that there ought to exist in both of them
115    VII, XV  |              would be happy and good ought to have these virtues. If
116    VII, XV  |           discipline of the citizens ought to be ordered with a view
117    VII, XV  |      Wherefore, the care of the body ought to precede that of the soul,
118    VII, XVI |       legislating on this subject he ought to consider the persons
119    VII, XVI |              to their parents; there ought not to be too great an interval
120    VII, XVI |              of any use to them. Nor ought they to be too nearly of
121    VII, XVI |            unlike their bodies, they ought to keep quiet, for the offspring
122   VIII, III |         question must be asked, what ought we to do when at leisure?
123   VIII, III |          when at leisure? Clearly we ought not to be amusing ourselves,
124   VIII, IV  |        exercise and strict diet. Men ought not to labor at the same
125   VIII, V   |            may assume that the young ought to be trained in it. For
126   VIII, VI  |           that the learning of music ought not to impede the business
127   VIII, VI  |             as for example the harp, ought not to be admitted into
128   VIII, VII |            melody and rhythm, and we ought to know what influence these
129   VIII, VII |         laborers, and the like—there ought to be contests and exhibitions
130   VIII, VII |         becoming: at these every man ought to aim. But even these are
