 1      I, II  |       female. Wherefore the poets say,~It is meet that Hellenes
 2      I, II  |      ancient times. Wherefore men say that the Gods have a king,
 3      I, II  |      evident. Nature, as we often say, makes nothing in vain,
 4      I, II  |        power; and we ought not to say that they are the same when
 5      I, VI  |          again, no one would ever say he is a slave who is unworthy
 6      I, XIII|     principle, it seems absurd to say that they have no virtue.
 7      I, XIII|       always be ruled? Nor can we say that this is a question
 8      I, XIII|          in detail, for those who say generally that virtue consists
 9      I, XIII|          converse with slaves and say that we should employ command
10     II, III |    children in common; they would say "all" but not "each." In
11     II, III |       which is better—for each to say "mine" in this way, making
12     II, III |         such to be the fact; they say that in part of Upper Libya,
13     II, IV  |         father will certainly not say "my son," or the son "my
14     II, VI  |            but not if he meant to say that this constitutional
15     II, VI  |         government. Some, indeed, say that the best constitution

17     II, VIII|          suitor demands? He asks, say, for twenty minae, and the
18     II, XI  |         their wealth: a man, they say, who is poor cannot rule
19     II, XII |         men of wealth, that is to say, from the pentacosio-medimni,
20    III, I   |           disputed question. Some say that the state has done
21    III, I   |         accidental manner, we may say, first, that a citizen is
22    III, I   |        duties. Of these we do not say quite simply that they are
23    III, I   |        surely it is ridiculous to say that those who have the
24    III, II  |     insist on going further back; say to two or three or more
25    III, III |           principle shall we ever say that the state is the same,
26    III, III |           wall. Like this, we may say, is Babylon, and every city
27    III, III |        than a city; Babylon, they say, had been taken for three
28    III, III |           or not.~Again, shall we say that while the race of inhabitants,
29    III, III |          coming again Or shall we say that the generations of
30    III, IV  |         is perfect virtue. But we say that the good man is he
31    III, IV  |        wise man. And some persons say that even the education
32    III, IV  |       difference which made Jason say that "he felt hungry when
33    III, VI  |           few; and, therefore, we say that these two forms of
34    III, X   |           increased. Some one may say that it is bad in any case
35    III, XII |          likely some persons will say that offices of state ought
36    III, XIII|      richer than the few—I do not say individually, but collectively.
37    III, XIII|        with him? Mankind will not say that such an one is to be
38    III, XIV |       life and death. Does he not say—"When I find a man skulking
39    III, XIV |          would employ, that is to say, they are composed of citizens,
40    III, XV  |           the many? But, you will say, there may be parties among

42     IV, I   |         should be able further to say how a state may be constituted
43     IV, III |           principal forms: as men say of the winds that there
44     IV, IV  |        the government—no one will say that this is a democracy.
45     IV, IV  |        Therefore we should rather say that democracy is the form
46     IV, IV  |         our analysis further, and say that the government is not
47     IV, IV  |       parts of states, that is to say, the warrior class, the
48     IV, IV  |           against the magistrates say, "Let the people be judges";
49     IV, VIII|           of the citizens, people say also of oligarchies that
50     IV, VIII|          two elements, that is to say, of the rich and poor, is
51     IV, IX  |         made by both governments, say concerning the administration
52     IV, XI  |          the elements of which we say the fabric of the state
53     IV, XI  |           constitutions, since we say that there are many kinds
54     IV, XI  | relatively to given conditions: I say "relatively to given conditions,"
55     IV, XV  |         first be in a position to say what are the possible varieties
56     IV, XV  |         whom they deal: I mean to say, should one person see to
57      V, VI  |          original one, that is to say, when the whole governing
58      V, VI  |         the same class; I mean to say, from those forms of democracy
59      V, IX  |        Speaking generally, we may say that whatever legal enactments
60      V, X   |        women, if the storytellers say truly; and the tale may
61      V, XII |           the games; and, as some say, the sitting statue in the
62      V, XII |          is absurd too for him to say that an oligarchy is two
63     VI, II  |           as he likes. This, they say, is the privilege of a freeman,
64     VI, III |           numbers only? Democrats say that justice is that to
65     VI, V   |       many democracies); where, I say, there are no revenues,
66     VI, VIII|            But since many, not to say all, of these offices handle
67    VII, I   |           the natures of which we say that these very states are

69    VII, II  |          or sacrifice, this is to say, such wild animals as are
70    VII, III |        with happiness. To both we say: "you are partly right and
71    VII, VII |  intelligent and courageous. Some say that the guardians should
72    VII, VII |    invincible. Nor is it right to say that the guardians should

74    VII, X   |            The Italian historians say that there was a certain
75    VII, X   |        half a day’s journey. They say that this Italus converted

83    VII, XVI |         of them die; some persons say that this was the meaning
84   VIII, III |          are now in a position to say, that the ancients witness
85   VIII, V   |         knowledge of it. Shall we say, for the sake of amusement
86   VIII, V   |    certain character? Or shall we say that it contributes to the
87   VIII, V   |          correctly judge, as they say, of good and bad melodies.
88   VIII, V   |           of the past, that is to say, they are the alleviation
89   VIII, V   |           recreation. And who can say whether, having this use,
90   VIII, V   |           makes some philosophers say that the soul is a tuning,
91   VIII, VI  |        the objection of those who say that the study of music
