1040   VIII, IV   |             such as the Achaeans and Heniochi, who both live about the

1074      V, XI   |           tyrant. These are, (1) the humiliation of his subjects; he knows
1075      I, IX   |        abundance and yet perish with hunger, like Midas in the fable,
1076    VII, II   |              just as we ought not to hunt mankind, whether for food

1091    III, XIV  |         tyrant of the spiritless and ill-fated city, with one voice shouting

1093     II, IX   |            revenues of the state are ill-managed; there is no money in the

1137     II, XII  |           But their account is quite inconsistent with chronology.~There was

1141     II, IX   |             not only gives an air of indecorum to the constitution considered
1142     IV, IX   |       together, like the parts of an indenture. Now there are three modes

1145     II, IX   |          here the legislator clearly indicates the same intention which
1146      I, II   |         whereas mere voice is but an indication of pleasure or pain, and

1152    VII, VIII |              will be found among the indispensables. Let us then enumerate the
1153      V, X    |              two chief motives which induce men to attack tyrannies—
1154     II, VII  |       powerful neighbor must have no inducement to go to war with you by
1155     VI, III  |              practical difficulty of inducing those to forbear who can,

1157      I, VIII |            prevail among those whose industry springs up of itself, and
1158      V, X    |       contempt. Hatred of tyrants is inevitable, and contempt is also a

1162     IV, IX   |   characteristics; that the power of inflicting death or banishment rests
1163     IV, XIV  |           alliances; it passes laws, inflicts death, exile, confiscation,
1164    VII, XVII |          armed them against the evil influences of such representations.~
1165      V, V    |           their private capacity lay information against rich men until they

1169    VII, XII  |           inspiring true modesty and ingenuous fear. There should also

1176      V, VIII |            of the country. And since innovations creep in through the private

1178    VII, I    |               who is afraid of every insect which flutters past him,
1179      V, VI   |              sometimes gradually and insensibly, and sometimes quickly.
1180     IV, I    |         combined. The same political insight will enable a man to know
1181    III, II   |         parents are citizens; others insist on going further back; say
1182     VI, VIII |    magistrate should be appointed to inspect contracts and to maintain
1183     IV, XV   |       section of them only, like the inspectorships of women or of youth. Other
1184      V, VI   |          make themselves tyrants, or install some one else in the tyranny,
1185     II, III  |           and "not mine" at the same instant of time," which, according

1193     IV, VI   |           wishes. When this power is intensified by a further diminution
1194      I, IX   |              in men is that they are intent upon living only, and not
1195      I, V    |            then we must look for the intentions of nature in things which
1196    VII, XIV  |              one to the other should interchange or be permanent. For the
