1677 | ALCIBIADES: And how long must I wait, Socrates, and who will be my teacher? |
1677 | ALCIBIADES: Certainly not: for then what use could I make of them? |
1677 | ALCIBIADES: How do you mean? |
1677 | ALCIBIADES: How do you mean? |
1677 | ALCIBIADES: How in the world, Socrates, do the words of the poet apply to him? |
1677 | ALCIBIADES: Of what do you suppose that I am thinking? |
1677 | ALCIBIADES: What is that, Socrates? |
1677 | ALCIBIADES: Why, Socrates, how is that possible? |
1677 | ALCIBIADES: Yes, Socrates, but you are speaking of a madman: surely you do not think that any one in his senses would venture to make such a prayer? |
1677 | And was not his prayer accomplished, and did not many and terrible evils thence arise, upon which I need not dilate? |
1677 | But perhaps we may consider the matter thus:-- ALCIBIADES: How? |
1677 | Can ignorance possibly be better than knowledge for any person in any conceivable case? |
1677 | Consider, my dear friend: may it not be quite otherwise? |
1677 | Did we not? |
1677 | Do you not speak of one who knows what is best in riding as a good rider? |
1677 | For tell me, by heaven, do you not think that in the city the wise are few, while the foolish, whom you call mad, are many? |
1677 | For we acknowledged that there are these two classes? |
1677 | In such a case should we not be right if we said that the state would be full of anarchy and lawlessness? |
1677 | May we not take an illustration from the artizans? |
1677 | Or do you believe that a man may labour under some other disease, even although he has none of these complaints? |
1677 | Or do you think that Orestes, had he been in his senses and knew what was best for him to do, would ever have dared to venture on such a crime? |
1677 | Or is there a difference between the clever artist and the wise man? |
1677 | Or what is your opinion? |
1677 | SOCRATES: A man must either be sick or be well? |
1677 | SOCRATES: And again, there are some who are in health? |
1677 | SOCRATES: And both to the person who is ignorant and everybody else? |
1677 | SOCRATES: And every disease ophthalmia? |
1677 | SOCRATES: And if he do the contrary, both he and the state will suffer? |
1677 | SOCRATES: And if you made many attempts, and each time failed to recognize Pericles, you would never attack him? |
1677 | SOCRATES: And in a similar way you speak of a good boxer or a good flute- player or a good performer in any other art? |
1677 | SOCRATES: And is every kind of ophthalmia a disease? |
1677 | SOCRATES: And must every sick person either have the gout, or be in a fever, or suffer from ophthalmia? |
1677 | SOCRATES: And some men seem to you to be discreet, and others the contrary? |
1677 | SOCRATES: And that there is no third or middle term between discretion and indiscretion? |
1677 | SOCRATES: And there can not be two opposites to one thing? |
1677 | SOCRATES: And there is still another case which will also perhaps appear strange to you, if you will consider it? |
1677 | SOCRATES: And they are not the same? |
1677 | SOCRATES: And would you accept them if you were likely to use them to a bad and mischievous end? |
1677 | SOCRATES: And you regard those as sensible who know what ought to be done or said? |
1677 | SOCRATES: And you use both the terms,''wise''and''foolish,''in reference to something? |
1677 | SOCRATES: Are you going, Alcibiades, to offer prayer to Zeus? |
1677 | SOCRATES: But how could we live in safety with so many crazy people? |
1677 | SOCRATES: But is it necessary that the man who is clever in any of these arts should be wise also in general? |
1677 | SOCRATES: But ought we not then, think you, either to fancy that we know or really to know, what we confidently propose to do or say? |
1677 | SOCRATES: But were you not saying that you would call the many unwise and the few wise? |
1677 | SOCRATES: Did you not acknowledge that madness was the opposite of discretion? |
1677 | SOCRATES: For you designed to kill, not the first who offered, but Pericles himself? |
1677 | SOCRATES: He did not intend to slay the first woman he came across, nor any one else''s mother, but only his own? |
1677 | SOCRATES: He must be either sane or insane? |
1677 | SOCRATES: Ignorance, then, is better for those who are in such a frame of mind, and have such ideas? |
1677 | SOCRATES: Madness, then, you consider to be the opposite of discretion? |
1677 | SOCRATES: Nor again, I suppose, a person who knows the art of war, but does not know whether it is better to go to war or for how long? |
1677 | SOCRATES: Nor are there any who are in neither state? |
1677 | SOCRATES: Nor would any one else, I fancy? |
1677 | SOCRATES: So I believe:--you do not think so? |
1677 | SOCRATES: That ignorance is bad then, it would appear, which is of the best and does not know what is best? |
1677 | SOCRATES: The latter will say or do what they ought not without their own knowledge? |
1677 | SOCRATES: The many are foolish, the few wise? |
1677 | SOCRATES: The senseless are those who do not know this? |
1677 | SOCRATES: Then madness and want of sense are the same? |
1677 | SOCRATES: Very good: and do you think the same about discretion and want of discretion? |
1677 | SOCRATES: We are agreed, then, that every form of ophthalmia is a disease, but not every disease ophthalmia? |
1677 | SOCRATES: Well, and are you of the same mind, as before? |
1677 | SOCRATES: Well, but if Orestes in like manner had not known his mother, do you think that he would ever have laid hands upon her? |
1677 | SOCRATES: While others are ailing? |
1677 | SOCRATES: Would you call a person wise who can give advice, but does not know whether or when it is better to carry out the advice? |
1677 | SOCRATES: Yet you would not accept the dominion and lordship of all the Hellenes and all the barbarians in exchange for your life? |
1677 | SOCRATES: You acknowledge that for some persons in certain cases the ignorance of some things is a good and not an evil, as you formerly supposed? |
1677 | SOCRATES:--If, then, you went indoors, and seeing him, did not know him, but thought that he was some one else, would you venture to slay him? |
1677 | Surely, they are not the only maladies which exist? |
1677 | Their envoys were also to ask,''Why the Gods always granted the victory to the Lacedaemonians?'' |
1677 | We acknowledge that some are discreet, some foolish, and that some are mad? |
1677 | We think that some are sick; do we not? |
1677 | What do you think? |
1677 | You would distinguish the wise from the foolish? |
1681 | And is virtue in your opinion, Prodicus, innate or acquired by instruction? |
1681 | Are not certain things useful to the builder when he is building a house? |
1681 | But do we not deem those men who are most prosperous to be the happiest? |
1681 | But how do you mean, Socrates? |
1681 | But if we are further asked, What is that from which, if we were free, we should have no need of wealth? |
1681 | But surely, if they were a good, they could not appear bad for any one? |
1681 | But what particular thing is wealth, if not all things? |
1681 | But when have we the greatest and the most various needs, when we are sick or when we are well? |
1681 | But why do you not finish the argument which proves that gold and silver and other things which seem to be wealth are not real wealth? |
1681 | But why, as you have begun your argument so prettily, do you not go on with the rest? |
1681 | CRITIAS: And does injustice seem to you an evil or a good? |
1681 | CRITIAS: And if the wicked man has wealth and is willing to spend it, he will carry out his evil purposes? |
1681 | CRITIAS: I should like to follow up the argument, and will ask Eryxias whether he thinks that there are just and unjust men? |
1681 | CRITIAS: Well, and do you think that some men are intemperate? |
1681 | Can ignorance, for instance, be useful for knowledge, or disease for health, or vice for virtue? |
1681 | Can you repeat the discourse to us? |
1681 | Do we not employ in our intercourse with one another speech and violence(?) |
1681 | ERASISTRATUS: What would you wish to hear first? |
1681 | For do we not say that silver is useful because it enables us to supply our bodily needs? |
1681 | For instance, some men are gamblers, some drunkards, and some gluttons: and gambling and the love of drink and greediness are all desires? |
1681 | For what man of sense could ever be persuaded that the wisest and the richest are the same? |
1681 | For who has larger estates or more land at his disposal to cultivate if he please? |
1681 | He was about to add something more, when Critias interrupted him:--Do you really suppose so, Eryxias? |
1681 | Or how could he be the richest of men who might even have to go begging, because he had not wherewithal to live? |
1681 | Or is wisdom despised of men and can find no buyers, although cypress wood and marble of Pentelicus are eagerly bought by numerous purchasers? |
1681 | Or, again, should you call sickness a good or an evil? |
1681 | SOCRATES: And also the instruments by which wealth is procured? |
1681 | SOCRATES: And are not the healthy richer than the sick, since health is a possession more valuable than riches to the sick? |
1681 | SOCRATES: And are they not most prosperous who commit the fewest errors in respect either of themselves or of other men? |
1681 | SOCRATES: And do we think it possible that a thing should be useful for a purpose unless we have need of it for that purpose? |
1681 | SOCRATES: And does not this apply in other cases? |
1681 | SOCRATES: And he appears to you to be the richest who has goods of the greatest value? |
1681 | SOCRATES: And how would you answer another question? |
1681 | SOCRATES: And if any one gave you a choice, which of these would you prefer? |
1681 | SOCRATES: And if anything appeared to be more valuable than health, he would be the richest who possessed it? |
1681 | SOCRATES: And if they appear useless to this end, ought they not always to appear useless? |
1681 | SOCRATES: And so, too, physic is not useful to every one, but only to him who knows how to use it? |
1681 | SOCRATES: And the same is the case with everything else? |
1681 | SOCRATES: And therefore conditions which are not required for the existence of a thing are not useful for the production of it? |
1681 | SOCRATES: And we call those actions good which a man does for the sake of virtue? |
1681 | SOCRATES: And were we not saying before that it was the business of a good man and a gentleman to know where and how anything should be used? |
1681 | SOCRATES: And when we are in the worst state we have the greatest and most especial need and desire of bodily pleasures? |
1681 | SOCRATES: And will not hearing be useful for virtue, if virtue is taught by hearing and we use the sense of hearing in giving instruction? |
1681 | SOCRATES: But can a bad thing be used to carry out a good purpose? |
1681 | SOCRATES: But can a man learn any kind of knowledge which is imparted by word of mouth if he is wholly deprived of the sense of hearing? |
1681 | SOCRATES: But can that which is evil be useful for virtue? |
1681 | SOCRATES: But if he possessed a thousand talents weight of some precious stone, we should say that he was very rich? |
1681 | SOCRATES: But if, again, we obtain by wealth the aid of medicine, shall we not regard wealth as useful for virtue? |
1681 | SOCRATES: Clearly we have not yet answered the question, What is wealth? |
1681 | SOCRATES: In which way do you think you would be the richer? |
1681 | SOCRATES: The reason is that the one is useless and the other useful? |
1681 | SOCRATES: The same to you, I said; have you any good news from Sicily to tell us? |
1681 | SOCRATES: Then if these things are useful for supplying the needs of the body, we must want them for that purpose? |
1681 | SOCRATES: Then if they procure by this means what they want for the purposes of life, that art will be useful towards life? |
1681 | SOCRATES: Then now we have to consider, What is money? |
1681 | SOCRATES: Then our conclusion is, as would appear, that wealth is what is useful to this end? |
1681 | SOCRATES: Then you consider that a man never wants any of these things for the use of the body? |
1681 | SOCRATES: What is useful to us, then, is wealth, and what is useless to us is not wealth? |
1681 | Suppose that we are asked,''Is a horse useful to everybody?'' |
1681 | The youth began by asking Prodicus, In what way did he think that riches were a good and in what an evil? |
1681 | There are persons, are there not, who teach music and grammar and other arts for pay, and thus procure those things of which they stand in need? |
1681 | What the Sicilians are doing, or how they are disposed towards our city? |
1681 | Where would be the advantage of wisdom then? |
1681 | and various other things? |
1681 | can we give an answer? |
1681 | whereas he who is short of means can not do what he fain would, and therefore does not sin? |
1681 | will not our reply be,''No, but only to those who know how to use a horse?'' |
1591 | ''And do you not pursue after pleasure as a good, and avoid pain as an evil?'' |
1591 | ''And have you not a similar way of speaking about pain? |
1591 | ''And is this a sort of thing which is of the nature of the holy, or of the nature of the unholy?'' |
1591 | ''Are these things good for any other reason except that they end in pleasure, and get rid of and avert pain? |
1591 | ''But how,''he will reply,''can the good be unworthy of the evil, or the evil of the good''? |
1591 | ''But in what will he be better?'' |
1591 | ''By what?'' |
1591 | ''Shall this be the manner in which I am to distribute justice and reverence among men, or shall I give them to all?'' |
1591 | ( 3) Again, would parents who teach her sons lesser matters leave them ignorant of the common duty of citizens? |
1591 | --and I were to answer, just: would you vote with me or against me? |
1591 | --how would you answer him? |
1591 | --they would acknowledge that they were not? |
1591 | --they would agree to the latter alternative, if I am not mistaken? |
1591 | --they would assent to me? |
1591 | --we should answer,''Yes,''if I am not mistaken? |
1591 | Again we knocked, and he answered without opening: Did you not hear me say that he is not at home, fellows? |
1591 | And are justice and holiness opposed to one another?'' |
1591 | And are not these confident persons also courageous? |
1591 | And because of that ignorance they are cowards? |
1591 | And by what is he overcome? |
1591 | And do men have some one part and some another part of virtue? |
1591 | And do the cowards knowingly refuse to go to the nobler, and pleasanter, and better? |
1591 | And do you remember that folly has already been acknowledged by us to be the opposite of wisdom? |
1591 | And do you think that a man lives well who lives in pain and grief? |
1591 | And do you think that the ode is a good composition, and true? |
1591 | And do you think, I said in a tone of surprise, that justice and holiness have but a small degree of likeness? |
1591 | And do you think, he said, that the two sayings are consistent? |
1591 | And does not the poet proceed to say,''I do not agree with the word of Pittacus, albeit the utterance of a wise man: Hardly can a man be good''? |
1591 | And first, you would agree with me that justice is of the nature of a thing, would you not? |
1591 | And foolish actions are done by folly, and temperate actions by temperance? |
1591 | And good sense is good counsel in doing injustice? |
1591 | And have they not been shown to be cowards through their ignorance of dangers? |
1591 | And have you an answer for him? |
1591 | And have you not seen persons utterly ignorant, I said, of these things, and yet confident about them? |
1591 | And if he were further to ask: What is the wisdom of the Sophist, and what is the manufacture over which he presides?--how should we answer him? |
1591 | And if honourable, then good? |
1591 | And if not base, then honourable? |
1591 | And in causing diseases do they not cause pain? |
1591 | And in opposite ways? |
1591 | And is going to battle honourable or disgraceful? |
1591 | And is it partly good and partly bad, I said, or wholly good? |
1591 | And is not ignorance the having a false opinion and being deceived about important matters? |
1591 | And is not wisdom the very opposite of folly? |
1591 | And is the good that which is expedient for man? |
1591 | And is there anything good? |
1591 | And is there not a contradiction? |
1591 | And might you not, I said, affirm this of the painter and of the carpenter also: Do not they, too, know wise things? |
1591 | And one thing is done by temperance, and quite another thing by folly? |
1591 | And shall I argue with them or with you? |
1591 | And suppose that he turned to you and said,''Is this true, Protagoras? |
1591 | And suppose that he went on to say:''Well now, is there also such a thing as holiness?'' |
1591 | And suppose that he went to Orthagoras the Theban, and heard him say the same thing, and asked him,''In what shall I become better day by day?'' |
1591 | And temperance is good sense? |
1591 | And temperance makes them temperate? |
1591 | And that is done strongly which is done by strength, and that which is weakly done, by weakness? |
1591 | And that which is done in opposite ways is done by opposites? |
1591 | And that which is done in the same manner, is done by the same; and that which is done in an opposite manner by the opposite? |
1591 | And that which is done with swiftness is done swiftly, and that which is done with slowness, slowly? |
1591 | And that which was done foolishly, as we further admitted, was done in the opposite way to that which was done temperately? |
1591 | And that which was done temperately was done by temperance, and that which was done foolishly by folly? |
1591 | And the courageous man has no base fear or base confidence? |
1591 | And the ignorance of them is cowardice? |
1591 | And the knowledge of that which is and is not dangerous is courage, and is opposed to the ignorance of these things? |
1591 | And the reason of this is that they have knowledge? |
1591 | And the reason why they are cowards is admitted by you to be cowardice? |
1591 | And then after this suppose that he came and asked us,''What were you saying just now? |
1591 | And there is the acute in sound? |
1591 | And therefore by opposites:--then folly is the opposite of temperance? |
1591 | And these base fears and confidences originate in ignorance and uninstructedness? |
1591 | And they are all different from one another? |
1591 | And they who do not act rightly act foolishly, and in acting thus are not temperate? |
1591 | And this, as possessing measure, must undeniably also be an art and science? |
1591 | And we admitted also that what was done in opposite ways was done by opposites? |
1591 | And we said that everything has only one opposite? |
1591 | And what am I doing? |
1591 | And what is good and honourable, I said, is also pleasant? |
1591 | And what is that which the Sophist knows and makes his disciple know? |
1591 | And what is your purpose? |
1591 | And what sort of well- doing makes a man a good physician? |
1591 | And what will he make of you? |
1591 | And what will they make of you? |
1591 | And what, Socrates, is the food of the soul? |
1591 | And when men act rightly and advantageously they seem to you to be temperate? |
1591 | And when you speak of being overcome--''what do you mean,''he will say,''but that you choose the greater evil in exchange for the lesser good?'' |
1591 | And who have confidence when fighting on horseback-- the skilled horseman or the unskilled? |
1591 | And who when fighting with light shields-- the peltasts or the nonpeltasts? |
1591 | And why, I said, do you neither assent nor dissent, Protagoras? |
1591 | And would you wish to begin the enquiry? |
1591 | And you think otherwise? |
1591 | And you would admit the existence of goods? |
1591 | And you would call pleasant, I said, the things which participate in pleasure or create pleasure? |
1591 | Are not all actions honourable and useful, of which the tendency is to make life painless and pleasant? |
1591 | Are these the things which are good but painful?'' |
1591 | Are they not the confident? |
1591 | Are you looking to any other standard but pleasure and pain when you call them good?'' |
1591 | Are you not of Homer''s opinion, who says''Youth is most charming when the beard first appears''? |
1591 | Are you satisfied, then, at having a life of pleasure which is without pain? |
1591 | Because all men are teachers of virtue, each one according to his ability; and you say Where are the teachers? |
1591 | But does not the courageous man also go to meet the better, and pleasanter, and nobler? |
1591 | But if he lives pleasantly to the end of his life, will he not in that case have lived well? |
1591 | But if there is a contradiction, can the composition be good or true? |
1591 | But shall I tell you a strange thing? |
1591 | But short enough? |
1591 | But some one will ask, Why? |
1591 | But suppose a person were to ask this further question: And how about yourself? |
1591 | But suppose a person were to ask us: In what are the painters wise? |
1591 | But surely courage, I said, is opposed to cowardice? |
1591 | But the fear and confidence of the coward or foolhardy or madman, on the contrary, are base? |
1591 | But what matter? |
1591 | But what sort of doing is good in letters? |
1591 | But what would you like? |
1591 | But which of the two are they who, as you say, are unwilling to go to war, which is a good and honourable thing? |
1591 | But who is to be the umpire? |
1591 | But why then do the sons of good fathers often turn out ill? |
1591 | But why, Socrates, should we trouble ourselves about the opinion of the many, who just say anything that happens to occur to them? |
1591 | By the gods, I said, and are you not ashamed at having to appear before the Hellenes in the character of a Sophist? |
1591 | COMPANION: And do you just come from an interview with him? |
1591 | COMPANION: And is this stranger really in your opinion a fairer love than the son of Cleinias? |
1591 | COMPANION: But have you really met, Socrates, with some wise one? |
1591 | COMPANION: Of what country? |
1591 | COMPANION: Well, and how do matters proceed? |
1591 | COMPANION: What do you mean-- a citizen or a foreigner? |
1591 | COMPANION: What is the meaning of this? |
1591 | COMPANION: Where do you come from, Socrates? |
1591 | Delightful, I said; but what is the news? |
1591 | Did not Simonides first set forth, as his own view, that''Hardly can a man become truly good''? |
1591 | Do I understand you, I said; and is your meaning that you teach the art of politics, and that you promise to make men good citizens? |
1591 | Do they also differ from one another in themselves and in their functions? |
1591 | Do you admit the existence of folly? |
1591 | Do you hear, Protagoras, I asked, what our friend Prodicus is saying? |
1591 | Do you know the poem? |
1591 | Do you think that an unjust man can be temperate in his injustice? |
1591 | Do you wish, he said, to speak with me alone, or in the presence of the company? |
1591 | Does he agree with the common opinion that knowledge is overcome by passion? |
1591 | First of all we admitted that everything has one opposite and not more than one? |
1591 | For Socrates admits his inability to speak long; will Protagoras in like manner acknowledge his inability to speak short? |
1591 | Has Protagoras robbed you of anything? |
1591 | Has anything happened between you and him? |
1591 | Have you been visiting him, and was he gracious to you? |
1591 | He and his fellow- workmen have taught them to the best of their ability,--but who will carry them further in their arts? |
1591 | How is this to be reconciled? |
1591 | How should we answer him, Socrates? |
1591 | How so? |
1591 | How then can I do otherwise than invite you to the examination of these subjects, and ask questions and consult with you? |
1591 | I knew his voice, and said: Hippocrates, is that you? |
1591 | I know that Pheidias is a sculptor, and that Homer is a poet; but what appellation is given to Protagoras? |
1591 | I proceeded: Is not a Sophist, Hippocrates, one who deals wholesale or retail in the food of the soul? |
1591 | I said: I wonder whether you know what you are doing? |
1591 | I said: You would admit, Protagoras, that some men live well and others ill? |
1591 | I said; or shall I begin? |
1591 | I want to know whether you still think that there are men who are most ignorant and yet most courageous? |
1591 | I, who knew the very courageous madness of the man, said: What is the matter? |
1591 | If I am not mistaken the question was this: Are wisdom and temperance and courage and justice and holiness five names of the same thing? |
1591 | If they succeed, I said, or if they do not succeed? |
1591 | Is Protagoras in Athens? |
1591 | Is not that true, Protagoras? |
1591 | Is not that true? |
1591 | Is not the real explanation that they are out of proportion to one another, either as greater and smaller, or more and fewer? |
1591 | Is that, he will ask, because the good was worthy or not worthy of conquering the evil''? |
1591 | May I employ an illustration? |
1591 | Must not he make him eloquent in that which he understands? |
1591 | Now is that your view? |
1591 | Now when there is all this care about virtue private and public, why, Socrates, do you still wonder and doubt whether virtue can be taught? |
1591 | Now who becomes a bad physician? |
1591 | Once more, I said, is there anything beautiful? |
1591 | Or if a man has one part, must he also have all the others? |
1591 | Or you might ask, Who is to teach the sons of our artisans this same art which they have learned of their fathers? |
1591 | Please to consider: Is there or is there not some one quality of which all the citizens must be partakers, if there is to be a city at all? |
1591 | Protagoras has spoken of the virtues: are they many, or one? |
1591 | SOCRATES: And is not the wiser always the fairer, sweet friend? |
1591 | SOCRATES: What of his beard? |
1591 | Shall I answer what appears to me to be short enough, or what appears to you to be short enough? |
1591 | Shall I, as an elder, speak to you as younger men in an apologue or myth, or shall I argue out the question? |
1591 | Socrates renews the attack from another side: he would like to know whether pleasure is not the only good, and pain the only evil? |
1591 | Suppose again, I said, that the world says to me:''Why do you spend many words and speak in many ways on this subject?'' |
1591 | Tell me then; who are they who have confidence when diving into a well? |
1591 | Tell me, Hippocrates, I said, as you are going to Protagoras, and will be paying your money to him, what is he to whom you are going? |
1591 | That is my opinion: would it not be yours also? |
1591 | The honourable work is also useful and good? |
1591 | The world will assent, will they not? |
1591 | Then I proceeded to say: Well, but are you aware of the danger which you are incurring? |
1591 | Then about what does the Sophist make him eloquent? |
1591 | Then against something different? |
1591 | Then as to the motive from which the cowards act, do you call it cowardice or courage? |
1591 | Then do cowards go where there is safety, and the courageous where there is danger? |
1591 | Then every opposite has one opposite only and no more? |
1591 | Then tell me, what do you imagine that he is? |
1591 | Then the ignorance of what is and is not dangerous is cowardice? |
1591 | Then the wisdom which knows what are and are not dangers is opposed to the ignorance of them? |
1591 | Then to act foolishly is the opposite of acting temperately? |
1591 | Then to live pleasantly is a good, and to live unpleasantly an evil? |
1591 | Then we are going to pay our money to him in the character of a Sophist? |
1591 | Then who are the courageous? |
1591 | Then, I said, no other part of virtue is like knowledge, or like justice, or like courage, or like temperance, or like holiness? |
1591 | Then, Protagoras, which of the two assertions shall we renounce? |
1591 | Then, my friends, what do you say to this? |
1591 | Thereupon I should answer to him who asked me, that justice is of the nature of the just: would not you? |
1591 | This admission, which has been somewhat hastily made, is now taken up and cross- examined by Socrates:--''Is justice just, and is holiness holy? |
1591 | To which the only opposite is the evil? |
1591 | To which the only opposite is the grave? |
1591 | To which the only opposite is the ugly? |
1591 | Well then, I said, tell us against what are the courageous ready to go-- against the same dangers as the cowards? |
1591 | What did he mean, Prodicus, by the term''hard''? |
1591 | What do you mean? |
1591 | What does he think of knowledge? |
1591 | What else would you say? |
1591 | What other answer could there be but that he presides over the art which makes men eloquent? |
1591 | What will Protagoras make of you, if you go to see him? |
1591 | What would you say? |
1591 | When you speak of brave men, do you mean the confident, or another sort of nature? |
1591 | Which of these two assertions shall we renounce? |
1591 | Which you would also acknowledge to be a thing-- should we not say so? |
1591 | Who is so foolish as to chastise or instruct the ugly, or the diminutive, or the feeble? |
1591 | Why do I say all this? |
1591 | Why, he said, how can he be consistent in both? |
1591 | Will Protagoras answer these objections? |
1591 | Will you be so good? |
1591 | Would not mankind generally acknowledge that the art which accomplishes this result is the art of measurement? |
1591 | Would not the art of measuring be the saving principle; or would the power of appearance? |
1591 | Would they still be evil, if they had no attendant evil consequences, simply because they give the consciousness of pleasure of whatever nature?'' |
1591 | Would you not admit, my friends, that this is true? |
1591 | Would you not answer in the same way? |
1591 | Yes, I replied; he came two days ago: have you only just heard of his arrival? |
1591 | You might as well ask, Who teaches Greek? |
1591 | You think that some men are temperate, and yet unjust? |
1591 | You would not deny, then, that courage and wisdom are also parts of virtue? |
1591 | You, Socrates, are discontented, and why? |
1591 | and about what? |
1591 | and do you bring any news? |
1591 | and do you call the latter good? |
1591 | and do you maintain that one part of virtue is unlike another, and is this your position?'' |
1591 | and in causing poverty do they not cause pain;--they would agree to that also, if I am not mistaken? |
1591 | and what sort of doing makes a man good in letters? |
1591 | and what will he make of you? |
1591 | and why do you give them this money?--how would you have answered? |
1591 | and why have you come hither at this unearthly hour? |
1591 | are they parts of a whole, or different names of the same thing? |
1591 | he said: how am I to shorten my answers? |
1591 | how is he designated? |
1591 | how would you have answered? |
1591 | or does he hold that knowledge is power? |
1591 | or shall I repeat the whole? |
1591 | shall I make them too short? |
1643 | ''If there is knowledge, there must be teachers; and where are the teachers?'' |
1643 | ''To whom, then, shall Meno go?'' |
1643 | ''what is courage?'' |
1643 | ''what is temperance?'' |
1643 | ( To the Boy:) Tell me, boy, do you assert that a double space comes from a double line? |
1643 | ANYTUS: Whom do you mean, Socrates? |
1643 | ANYTUS: Why do you not tell him yourself? |
1643 | ANYTUS: Why single out individuals? |
1643 | Am I not right? |
1643 | And am I to carry back this report of you to Thessaly? |
1643 | And if these were our reasons, should we not be right in sending him? |
1643 | And if this is the proper name, then you, Meno''s slave, are prepared to affirm that the double space is the square of the diagonal? |
1643 | And if you find what you want, how will you ever know that this is the thing which you did not know? |
1643 | And is any mode of acquisition, even if unjust and dishonest, equally to be deemed virtue? |
1643 | And now tell me, is not this a line of two feet and that of four? |
1643 | And yet, if there are no universal ideas, what becomes of philosophy? |
1643 | And, therefore, my dear Meno, I fear that I must begin again and repeat the same question: What is virtue? |
1643 | Are they not profitable when they are rightly used, and hurtful when they are not rightly used? |
1643 | But I can not believe, Socrates, that there are no good men: And if there are, how did they come into existence? |
1643 | But are you in earnest, Socrates, in saying that you do not know what virtue is? |
1643 | But how, asks Meno, can he enquire either into what he knows or into what he does not know? |
1643 | But is virtue taught or not? |
1643 | But what has been the result? |
1643 | But whence had the uneducated man this knowledge? |
1643 | But where are the teachers? |
1643 | Can he be wrong who has right opinion, so long as he has right opinion? |
1643 | Can the child govern his father, or the slave his master; and would he who governed be any longer a slave? |
1643 | Can those who were deemed by many to be the wisest men of Hellas have been out of their minds? |
1643 | Can you say that they are teachers in any true sense whose ideas are in such confusion? |
1643 | Can you teach me how this is? |
1643 | Consider the matter thus: If we wanted Meno to be a good physician, to whom should we send him? |
1643 | Could you not answer that question, Meno? |
1643 | Do not all men, my dear sir, desire good? |
1643 | Do they seem to you to be teachers of virtue? |
1643 | Do you observe that here he seems to imply that virtue can be taught? |
1643 | Do you remember them? |
1643 | Do you think that I could? |
1643 | Have there not been many good men in this city? |
1643 | Have you not heard from our elders of him? |
1643 | Health and strength, and beauty and wealth-- these, and the like of these, we call profitable? |
1643 | Here are two and there is one; and on the other side, here are two also and there is one: and that makes the figure of which you speak? |
1643 | How could that be? |
1643 | How would you answer me? |
1643 | How, if I knew nothing at all of Meno, could I tell if he was fair, or the opposite of fair; rich and noble, or the reverse of rich and noble? |
1643 | If a man knew the way to Larisa, or anywhere else, and went to the place and led others thither, would he not be a right and good guide? |
1643 | Is he a bit better than any other mortal? |
1643 | Is there any difference? |
1643 | Is virtue the same in a child and in a slave, Meno? |
1643 | It was the natural answer to two questions,''Whence came the soul? |
1643 | Let me explain: if in one direction the space was of two feet, and in the other direction of one foot, the whole would be of two feet taken once? |
1643 | Let the first hypothesis be that virtue is or is not knowledge,--in that case will it be taught or not? |
1643 | Let us take another,--Aristides, the son of Lysimachus: would you not acknowledge that he was a good man? |
1643 | Look at the matter in your own way: Would you not admit that Themistocles was a good man? |
1643 | MENO: And did you not think that he knew? |
1643 | MENO: And how will you enquire, Socrates, into that which you do not know? |
1643 | MENO: And now, Socrates, what is colour? |
1643 | MENO: But if a person were to say that he does not know what colour is, any more than what figure is-- what sort of answer would you have given him? |
1643 | MENO: How can it be otherwise? |
1643 | MENO: How do you mean, Socrates? |
1643 | MENO: Then you have never met Gorgias when he was at Athens? |
1643 | MENO: True; but do you think that there are no teachers of virtue? |
1643 | MENO: Well, Socrates, and is not the argument sound? |
1643 | MENO: Well, what of that? |
1643 | MENO: Well; and why are you so slow of heart to believe that knowledge is virtue? |
1643 | MENO: What do you mean by the word''right''? |
1643 | MENO: What do you mean, Socrates? |
1643 | MENO: What do you mean? |
1643 | MENO: What have they to do with the question? |
1643 | MENO: What of that? |
1643 | MENO: What was it? |
1643 | MENO: Where does he say so? |
1643 | MENO: Why do you say that, Socrates? |
1643 | MENO: Why do you think so? |
1643 | MENO: Why not? |
1643 | MENO: Why, how can there be virtue without these? |
1643 | MENO: Why? |
1643 | MENO: Will you have one definition of them all? |
1643 | MENO: Yes, Socrates; but what do you mean by saying that we do not learn, and that what we call learning is only a process of recollection? |
1643 | Meanwhile I will return to you, Meno; for I suppose that there are gentlemen in your region too? |
1643 | Now, has any one ever taught him all this? |
1643 | Now, to whom should he go in order that he may learn this virtue? |
1643 | Now, when you say that they deceived and corrupted the youth, are they to be supposed to have corrupted them consciously or unconsciously? |
1643 | Once more, I suspect, friend Anytus, that virtue is not a thing which can be taught? |
1643 | Or is the nature of health always the same, whether in man or woman? |
1643 | Ought I not to ask the question over again; for can any one who does not know virtue know a part of virtue? |
1643 | Please, Anytus, to help me and your friend Meno in answering our question, Who are the teachers? |
1643 | SOCRATES: A square may be of any size? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And a person who had a right opinion about the way, but had never been and did not know, might be a good guide also, might he not? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And a third, which is equal to either of them? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And am I not also right in saying that true opinion leading the way perfects action quite as well as knowledge? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And are there not here four equal lines which contain this space? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And are there not these four divisions in the figure, each of which is equal to the figure of four feet? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And are they willing to teach the young? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And can either a young man or an elder one be good, if they are intemperate and unjust? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And can either house or state or anything be well ordered without temperance and without justice? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And conversely, may not the art of which neither teachers nor disciples exist be assumed to be incapable of being taught? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And desire is of possession? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And did not he train his son Lysimachus better than any other Athenian in all that could be done for him by the help of masters? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And do you really imagine, Meno, that a man knows evils to be evils and desires them notwithstanding? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And does any one desire to be miserable and ill- fated? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And does he really know? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And does he think that the evils will do good to him who possesses them, or does he know that they will do him harm? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And does he who desires the honourable also desire the good? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And does not this line, reaching from corner to corner, bisect each of these spaces? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And does this definition of virtue include all virtue? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And for this reason-- that there are other figures? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And four is how many times two? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And four such lines will make a space containing eight feet? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And four times is not double? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And from what line do you get this figure? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And how many are twice two feet? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And how many in this? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And how many spaces are there in this section? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And how many times larger is this space than this other? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And how much are three times three feet? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And how much is the double of four? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And if he proceeded to ask, What other figures are there? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And if it was taught it was wisdom? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And if one man is not better than another in desiring good, he must be better in the power of attaining it? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And if one side of the figure be of two feet, and the other side be of two feet, how much will the whole be? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And if there are no teachers, neither are there disciples? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And if there are no teachers, neither are there scholars? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And if there were teachers, it might be taught; and if there were no teachers, not? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And if we are good, then we are profitable; for all good things are profitable? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And in speaking thus, you do not mean to say that the round is round any more than straight, or the straight any more straight than round? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And in supposing that they will be useful only if they are true guides to us of action-- there we were also right? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And is not that four times four? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And is not this true of size and strength? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And is not this universally true of human nature? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And may we not, Meno, truly call those men''divine''who, having no understanding, yet succeed in many a grand deed and word? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And might not the same be said of flute- playing, and of the other arts? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And might there not be another square twice as large as this, and having like this the lines equal? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And must not he then have been a good teacher, if any man ever was a good teacher, of his own virtue? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And must they not suppose that those who are hurt are miserable in proportion to the hurt which is inflicted upon them? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And nature being excluded, then came the question whether virtue is acquired by teaching? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And now I add another square equal to the former one? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And now try and tell me the length of the line which forms the side of that double square: this is two feet-- what will that be? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And of how many feet will that be? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And passages into which and through which the effluences pass? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And shall I explain this wonder to you? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And so forth? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And some of the effluences fit into the passages, and some of them are too small or too large? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And surely the good man has been acknowledged by us to be useful? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And the right guide is useful and good? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And the space of four feet is made from this half line? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And the women too, Meno, call good men divine-- do they not? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And then you will tell me about virtue? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And there are no teachers of virtue to be found anywhere? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And there is such a thing as sight? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And these lines which I have drawn through the middle of the square are also equal? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And they surely would not have been good in the same way, unless their virtue had been the same? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And this knowledge which he now has must he not either have acquired or always possessed? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And this space is of how many feet? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And this spontaneous recovery of knowledge in him is recollection? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And thus we arrive at the conclusion that virtue is either wholly or partly wisdom? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And virtue makes us good? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And we have admitted that a thing can not be taught of which there are neither teachers nor disciples? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And were we not saying just now that justice, temperance, and the like, were each of them a part of virtue? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And what do you think of these Sophists, who are the only professors? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And what is the guiding principle which makes them profitable or the reverse? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And will not virtue, as virtue, be the same, whether in a child or in a grown- up person, in a woman or in a man? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And yet he has the knowledge? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And yet these things may also sometimes do us harm: would you not think so? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And yet we admitted that it was a good? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And yet, as we were just now saying, he did not know? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And yet, were you not saying just now that virtue is the desire and power of attaining good? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And you know that a square figure has these four lines equal? |
1643 | SOCRATES: And, in your opinion, do those who think that they will do them good know that they are evils? |
1643 | SOCRATES: But are not the miserable ill- fated? |
1643 | SOCRATES: But did any one, old or young, ever say in your hearing that Cleophantus, son of Themistocles, was a wise or good man, as his father was? |
1643 | SOCRATES: But does not this line become doubled if we add another such line here? |
1643 | SOCRATES: But how much? |
1643 | SOCRATES: But if he did not acquire the knowledge in this life, then he must have had and learned it at some other time? |
1643 | SOCRATES: But if neither the Sophists nor the gentlemen are teachers, clearly there can be no other teachers? |
1643 | SOCRATES: But if the good are not by nature good, are they made good by instruction? |
1643 | SOCRATES: But if there are three feet this way and three feet that way, the whole space will be three times three feet? |
1643 | SOCRATES: But if this be affirmed, then the desire of good is common to all, and one man is no better than another in that respect? |
1643 | SOCRATES: But if this is true, then the good are not by nature good? |
1643 | SOCRATES: But since this side is also of two feet, there are twice two feet? |
1643 | SOCRATES: But still he had in him those notions of his-- had he not? |
1643 | SOCRATES: But surely we acknowledged that there were no teachers of virtue? |
1643 | SOCRATES: But why? |
1643 | SOCRATES: But would he not have wanted? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Can we call those teachers who do not acknowledge the possibility of their own vocation? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Do not he and you and Empedocles say that there are certain effluences of existence? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Do you mean that they think the evils which they desire, to be good; or do they know that they are evil and yet desire them? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Do you remember how, in the example of figure, we rejected any answer given in terms which were as yet unexplained or unadmitted? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Do you see, Meno, what advances he has made in his power of recollection? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Four times four are sixteen-- are they not? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Good; and is not a space of eight feet twice the size of this, and half the size of the other? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Has any of the Sophists wronged you, Anytus? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Has not each interior line cut off half of the four spaces? |
1643 | SOCRATES: He is Greek, and speaks Greek, does he not? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Here, then, there are four equal spaces? |
1643 | SOCRATES: I will tell you why: I have heard from certain wise men and women who spoke of things divine that-- MENO: What did they say? |
1643 | SOCRATES: If virtue was wisdom( or knowledge), then, as we thought, it was taught? |
1643 | SOCRATES: If we have made him doubt, and given him the''torpedo''s shock,''have we done him any harm? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Is he not better off in knowing his ignorance? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Let us describe such a figure: Would you not say that this is the figure of eight feet? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Or if we wanted him to be a good cobbler, should we not send him to the cobblers? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Shall I indulge you? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Such a space, then, will be made out of a line greater than this one, and less than that one? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Suppose that we fill up the vacant corner? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Tell me, boy, do you know that a figure like this is a square? |
1643 | SOCRATES: That is, from the line which extends from corner to corner of the figure of four feet? |
1643 | SOCRATES: The next question is, whether virtue is knowledge or of another species? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Then all men are good in the same way, and by participation in the same virtues? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Then are there some who desire the evil and others who desire the good? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Then begin again, and answer me, What, according to you and your friend Gorgias, is the definition of virtue? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Then both men and women, if they are to be good men and women, must have the same virtues of temperance and justice? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Then do you not think that the Sophists are teachers? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Then he was the better for the torpedo''s touch? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Then he who does not know may still have true notions of that which he does not know? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Then if they are not given by nature, neither are the good by nature good? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Then if virtue is knowledge, virtue will be taught? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Then no one could say that his son showed any want of capacity? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Then now we have made a quick end of this question: if virtue is of such a nature, it will be taught; and if not, not? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Then right opinion is not less useful than knowledge? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Then the figure of eight is not made out of a line of three? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Then the line which forms the side of eight feet ought to be more than this line of two feet, and less than the other of four feet? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Then the square is of twice two feet? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Then they who order a state or a house temperately or justly order them with temperance and justice? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Then virtue can not be taught? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Then virtue is profitable? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Then we acknowledged that it was not taught, and was not wisdom? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Then you are entirely unacquainted with them? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Then, according to your definition, virtue would appear to be the power of attaining good? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Then, my dear friend, how can you know whether a thing is good or bad of which you are wholly ignorant? |
1643 | SOCRATES: There are some who desire evil? |
1643 | SOCRATES: They must be temperate and just? |
1643 | SOCRATES: To what then do we give the name of figure? |
1643 | SOCRATES: What are they? |
1643 | SOCRATES: What do you mean? |
1643 | SOCRATES: What do you say of him, Meno? |
1643 | SOCRATES: What line would give you a space of eight feet, as this gives one of sixteen feet;--do you see? |
1643 | SOCRATES: What, Anytus? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Which must have been the time when he was not a man? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Why simple? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Without any one teaching him he will recover his knowledge for himself, if he is only asked questions? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Would you like me to answer you after the manner of Gorgias, which is familiar to you? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Would you say''virtue,''Meno, or''a virtue''? |
1643 | SOCRATES: Yes, indeed; but what if the supposition is erroneous? |
1643 | SOCRATES: You only assert that the round figure is not more a figure than the straight, or the straight than the round? |
1643 | SOCRATES: You surely know, do you not, Anytus, that these are the people whom mankind call Sophists? |
1643 | SOCRATES: You would not wonder if you had ever observed the images of Daedalus( Compare Euthyphro); but perhaps you have not got them in your country? |
1643 | Should we not send him to the physicians? |
1643 | Suppose now that some one asked you the question which I asked before: Meno, he would say, what is figure? |
1643 | Suppose that I carry on the figure of the swarm, and ask of you, What is the nature of the bee? |
1643 | Tell me, boy, is not this a square of four feet which I have drawn? |
1643 | There is another sort of progress from the general notions of Socrates, who asked simply,''what is friendship?'' |
1643 | This Dialogue is an attempt to answer the question, Can virtue be taught? |
1643 | Were not all these answers given out of his own head? |
1643 | Were we not right in admitting this? |
1643 | Were you not saying that the virtue of a man was to order a state, and the virtue of a woman was to order a house? |
1643 | What is the origin of evil?'' |
1643 | What makes you so angry with them? |
1643 | What will you put forth as the subject of enquiry? |
1643 | When a man has no sense he is harmed by courage, but when he has sense he is profited? |
1643 | Whom would you name? |
1643 | Why, did not I ask you to tell me the nature of virtue as a whole? |
1643 | Will Meno tell him his own notion, which is probably not very different from that of Gorgias? |
1643 | Will you be satisfied with it, as I am sure that I should be, if you would let me have a similar definition of virtue? |
1643 | Will you reply that he was a mean man, and had not many friends among the Athenians and allies? |
1643 | Yet once more, fair friend; according to you, virtue is''the power of governing;''but do you not add''justly and not unjustly''? |
1643 | and do they agree that virtue is taught? |
1643 | and do they profess to be teachers? |
1643 | and who were they? |
1643 | or is there anything about which even the acknowledged''gentlemen''are sometimes saying that''this thing can be taught,''and sometimes the opposite? |
1643 | or rather, does not every one see that knowledge alone is taught? |
1643 | or, as we were just now saying,''remembered''? |
1643 | would do well to have his eye fixed: Do you understand? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: And do you not think that I would enquire? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: And was there not a time when I did so think? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: And what should he do, Socrates, who would make the discovery? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: At what? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: But do you not think that I could discover them? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: But what can we do? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: But what was I to do, Socrates, when anybody cheated me? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: But, Socrates, if the two sons of Pericles were simpletons, what has that to do with the matter? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: But, perhaps, he does not exist; may I not have acquired the knowledge of just and unjust in some other way? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: Did I, then? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: Do you mean by''how,''Socrates, whether we suffered these things justly or unjustly? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: Do you mean to say that the contest is not with these? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: How can we, Socrates? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: How could we? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: How so? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: How was that? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: I entirely believe you; but what are the sort of pains which are required, Socrates,--can you tell me? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: In what respect? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: Of whom are you speaking, Socrates? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: Once more, what do you mean? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: Perhaps, Socrates, you are not aware that I was just going to ask you the very same question-- What do you want? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: The Muses do you mean, Socrates? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: There again; what do you mean? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: What am I to consider? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: What are they? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: What caution? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: What do you mean, Socrates; why do you say so? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: What do you mean? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: What do you mean? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: What do you mean? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: What have you in your thoughts, Socrates? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: What is it? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: What is that? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: What ought I to have said? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: What qualities? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: What was that? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: Who is he, Socrates? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: Why are you so sure? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: Why is that? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: Why, are they not able to teach? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: Why, did you not say that I know nothing of the just and unjust? |
1676 | ALCIBIADES: Why, what others are there? |
1676 | And are you, Alcibiades, a freeman? |
1676 | And do you know whether you are a freeman or not? |
1676 | And does that which gives it to the state give it also to the individual, so as to make him consistent with himself and with another? |
1676 | And what is the aim of that other good counsel of which you speak? |
1676 | And what is their aim? |
1676 | And what is your motive in annoying me, and always, wherever I am, making a point of coming? |
1676 | And who do them? |
1676 | At what price would you be willing to be deprived of courage? |
1676 | But granting, if I must, that you have perfectly divined my purposes, why is your assistance necessary to the attainment of them? |
1676 | But has he the knowledge which is necessary for carrying them out? |
1676 | But to be good in what? |
1676 | But to command what-- horses or men? |
1676 | But what business? |
1676 | But when is a city better? |
1676 | Can we really be ignorant of the excellent meaning of the Delphian inscription, of which we were just now speaking? |
1676 | Can you tell me why? |
1676 | Did you never observe how great is the property of the Spartan kings? |
1676 | Does Alcibiades know? |
1676 | Does he cut with his tools only or with his hands? |
1676 | Does he not take care of them when he takes care of that which belongs to his feet? |
1676 | Does he take care of himself when he takes care of what belongs to him? |
1676 | Does not the art of measure? |
1676 | Equestrian affairs? |
1676 | For who always does justice to himself, or who writes with equal care at all times? |
1676 | Have you not remarked their absence? |
1676 | He is going to persuade the Athenians-- about what? |
1676 | How can there be agreement about matters which the one party knows, and of which the other is in ignorance? |
1676 | I who put the question, or you who answer me? |
1676 | Is he good in the sense which Alcibiades means, who is also bad? |
1676 | Is it not disgraceful? |
1676 | Is it not true? |
1676 | Is not that clear? |
1676 | Let me begin then by enquiring of you whether you allow that the just is sometimes expedient and sometimes not? |
1676 | Look at the matter thus: which would you rather choose, good or evil? |
1676 | Now is this courage good or evil? |
1676 | Or did you think that you knew? |
1676 | Or is self- knowledge a difficult thing, which few are able to attain? |
1676 | SOCRATES: A difference of just and unjust is the argument of those poems? |
1676 | SOCRATES: A man is a good adviser about anything, not because he has riches, but because he has knowledge? |
1676 | SOCRATES: About that again the diviner will advise better than you will? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Again, he who cherishes his body cherishes not himself, but what belongs to him? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Again; you sometimes accompany the lyre with the song and dance? |
1676 | SOCRATES: All just things are honourable? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And Alcibiades is my hearer? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And I am the lover who goes not away, but remains with you, when you are no longer young and the rest are gone? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And I called the excellence in wrestling gymnastic? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And I in talking use words? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And I was right? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And a man is good in respect of that in which he is wise? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And about number, will not the same person persuade one and persuade many? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And all this I prove out of your own mouth, for I ask and you answer? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And are honourable things sometimes good and sometimes not good, or are they always good? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And are some dishonourable things good? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And are you going to get up in the Athenian assembly, and give them advice about writing? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And are you not aware of the nature of this perplexity, my friend? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And are you now conscious of your own state? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And as much as is best? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And as much as is well? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And at such times as are best? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And before they have virtue, to be commanded by a superior is better for men as well as for children? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And by gymnastic we take care of our hands, and by the art of graving rings of that which belongs to our hands? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And by gymnastic we take care of the body, and by the art of weaving and the other arts we take care of the things of the body? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And by how much greater? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And can not you persuade one man about that of which you can persuade many? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And can there be any matters greater than the just, the honourable, the good, and the expedient? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And can they teach the better who are unable to teach the worse? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And can we ever know what art makes a man better, if we do not know what we are ourselves? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And can you be persuaded better than out of your own mouth? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And can you tell me on what grounds the master of gymnastics would decide, with whom they ought or ought not to close, and when and how? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And did you not say, that if I had not spoken first, you were on the point of coming to me, and enquiring why I only remained? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And do we by shoemaking take care of our feet, or by some other art which improves the feet? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And do we know of any part of our souls more divine than that which has to do with wisdom and knowledge? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And do you know anything but what you have learned of others, or found out yourself? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And do you know how to ascend into heaven? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And do you know how to escape out of a state which I do not even like to name to my beauty? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And do you mean by friendship agreement or disagreement? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And do you think and perplex yourself about the preparation of food: or do you leave that to some one who understands the art? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And do you think that you will sustain any injury if you take care of yourself? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And does he use his eyes in cutting leather? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And does not a man use the whole body? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And does the body rule over itself? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And evil in respect of that in which he is unwise? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And failing, will he not be miserable? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And for as long a time as is better? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And happiness is a good? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And have I not been the questioner all through? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And he who acts well is happy? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And he who knows not the things which belong to himself, will in like manner be ignorant of the things which belong to others? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And how can you say,''What was I to do''? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And how does this happen? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And if any one has fallen in love with the person of Alcibiades, he loves not Alcibiades, but the belongings of Alcibiades? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And if he falls into error will he not fail both in his public and private capacity? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And if he knows not the affairs of others, he will not know the affairs of states? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And if so, not he who has riches, but he who has wisdom, is delivered from his misery? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And if they know, they must agree together and not differ? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And if we did not know our own belongings, neither should we know the belongings of our belongings? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And if we want to instruct any one in them, we shall be right in sending him to be taught by our friends the many? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And in like manner the harper and gymnastic- master? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And in the same way the instrument of the harper is to be distinguished from the harper himself? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And in this case, too, is your judgment perplexed? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And is not the same person able to persuade one individual singly and many individuals of the things which he knows? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And is self- knowledge such an easy thing, and was he to be lightly esteemed who inscribed the text on the temple at Delphi? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And is the art of the pilot evil counsel? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And is the good expedient or not? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And life and courage are the extreme opposites of death and cowardice? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And more than four years ago you were a child-- were you not? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And most mischievous and most disgraceful when having to do with the greatest matters? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And now let me ask you what is the art with which we take care of ourselves? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And private individuals? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And self- knowledge we agree to be wisdom? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And so you will act rightly and well? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And sometimes honourable and sometimes not? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And suppose that you were going to steer a ship into action, would you only aim at being the best pilot on board? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And taking proper care means improving? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And talking and using words have, I suppose, the same meaning? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And that of which you can persuade either is clearly what you know? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And that which is better is also nobler? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And that which uses is different from that which is used? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And the courage which is shown in the rescue is one thing, and the death another? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And the good is expedient? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And the greatest goods you would be most ready to choose, and would least like to be deprived of them? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And the happy are those who obtain good? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And the honourable is the good? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And the next step will be to take care of the soul, and look to that? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And the reason why you involuntarily contradict yourself is clearly that you are ignorant? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And the same art improves the feet which improves the rest of the body? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And the same holds of the balance? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And the shoe in like manner to the foot? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And the soul rules? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And the user is not the same as the thing which he uses? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And the user of the body is the soul? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And these, as you were saying, are what perplex you? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And they are honourable in so far as they are good, and dishonourable in so far as they are evil? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And they are not in the habit of deliberating about wrestling, in the assembly? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And they are what you would most desire to have, and their opposites you would least desire? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And they obtain good by acting well and honourably? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And they ought to go to war with those against whom it is better to go to war? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And this is the reason why their arts are accounted vulgar, and are not such as a good man would practise? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And this will be he who knows number, or the arithmetician? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And two years ago, and three years ago, and four years ago, you knew all the same? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And virtue to a freeman? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And was not the art of which I spoke gymnastic? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And we admit that the user is not the same with the things which he uses? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And what are the objects in looking at which we see ourselves? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And what art makes each individual agree with himself? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And what art makes each of us agree with himself about the comparative length of the span and of the cubit? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And what do you call the art of fellow- citizens? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And what is nobler is more becoming? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And what is that of which the absence or presence improves and preserves the order of the city? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And what is the art which improves our shoes? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And what sort of an art is this? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And what will become of those for whom he is acting? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And what would you say of a state? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And when did you discover them-- not, surely, at the time when you thought that you knew them? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And when did you think that you were ignorant-- if you consider, you will find that there never was such a time? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And when individuals are doing their own work, are they doing what is just or unjust? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And when individuals do what is just in the state, is there no friendship among them? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And when it is better? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And when we take care of our shoes, do we not take care of our feet? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And when you speak of gentlemen, do you mean the wise or the unwise? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And will not he who is ignorant fall into error? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And would a woman agree with a man about the science of arms, which she has never learned? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And would you advise the Athenians to go to war with the just or with the unjust? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And would you have been willing to learn or to examine what you supposed that you knew? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And would you have ever learned or discovered anything, if you had not been willing either to learn of others or to examine yourself? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And would you say that they knew the things about which they differ? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And you must give the citizens virtue, if you mean to administer their affairs rightly or nobly? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And you the answerer? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And you would have a proof that they were bad teachers of these matters, if you saw them at variance? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And you would term the rescue of a friend in battle honourable, in as much as courage does a good work? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And you, whom he taught, can do the same? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And, O my friend, is not the condition of a slave to be avoided? |
1676 | SOCRATES: And, if I may recur to another old instance, what art enables them to rule over their fellow- singers? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Are not those who are well born and well bred most likely to be perfect in virtue? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Are they ruling over the signal- men who give the time to the rowers? |
1676 | SOCRATES: As I am, with you? |
1676 | SOCRATES: As I was saying before, you will look only at what is bright and divine, and act with a view to them? |
1676 | SOCRATES: As bad as death, I suppose? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Ask yourself; are you in any perplexity about things of which you are ignorant? |
1676 | SOCRATES: At any rate, thus much has been admitted, that the art is not one which makes any of our possessions, but which makes ourselves better? |
1676 | SOCRATES: But can a man give that which he has not? |
1676 | SOCRATES: But can a man, Alcibiades, agree with a woman about the spinning of wool, which she understands and he does not? |
1676 | SOCRATES: But can they be said to understand that about which they are quarrelling to the death? |
1676 | SOCRATES: But did we not say that the actual ruling principle of the body is man? |
1676 | SOCRATES: But evil because of the death which ensues? |
1676 | SOCRATES: But evil in respect of death and wounds? |
1676 | SOCRATES: But good counsel? |
1676 | SOCRATES: But he who cherishes his money, cherishes neither himself nor his belongings, but is in a stage yet further removed from himself? |
1676 | SOCRATES: But he who loves the soul goes not away, as long as the soul follows after virtue? |
1676 | SOCRATES: But he who loves your soul is the true lover? |
1676 | SOCRATES: But how is this, friend Alcibiades? |
1676 | SOCRATES: But if we have no self- knowledge and no wisdom, can we ever know our own good and evil? |
1676 | SOCRATES: But in respect of the making of garments he is unwise? |
1676 | SOCRATES: But is this always the case, and is a man necessarily perplexed about that of which he has no knowledge? |
1676 | SOCRATES: But looking at anything else either in man or in the world, and not to what resembles this, it will not see itself? |
1676 | SOCRATES: But may we say that the union of the two rules over the body, and consequently that this is man? |
1676 | SOCRATES: But over men? |
1676 | SOCRATES: But should we ever have known what art makes a shoe better, if we did not know a shoe? |
1676 | SOCRATES: But since neither the body, nor the union of the two, is man, either man has no real existence, or the soul is man? |
1676 | SOCRATES: But the tool is not the same as the cutter and user of the tool? |
1676 | SOCRATES: But what is the other agreement of which you speak, and about what? |
1676 | SOCRATES: But when people think that they do not know, they entrust their business to others? |
1676 | SOCRATES: But would you say that the good are the same as the bad? |
1676 | SOCRATES: But you would admit, Alcibiades, that to take proper care of a thing is a correct expression? |
1676 | SOCRATES: But, perhaps you mean that they rule over flute- players, who lead the singers and use the services of the dancers? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Cities, then, if they are to be happy, do not want walls, or triremes, or docks, or numbers, or size, Alcibiades, without virtue? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Come, now, I beseech you, tell me with whom you are conversing?--with whom but with me? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Did not I ask, and you answer the question? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Do you not see, then, that mistakes in life and practice are likewise to be attributed to the ignorance which has conceit of knowledge? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Do you remember our admissions about the just? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Do you see the reason why, or shall I tell you? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Do you take refuge in them? |
1676 | SOCRATES: For the art which takes care of our belongings appears not to be the same as that which takes care of ourselves? |
1676 | SOCRATES: For the builder will advise better than you will about that? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Have we not made an advance? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Have you not the intention which I attribute to you? |
1676 | SOCRATES: He uses his hands too? |
1676 | SOCRATES: He whose knowledge only extends to the body, knows the things of a man, and not the man himself? |
1676 | SOCRATES: He will not know what he is doing? |
1676 | SOCRATES: He would not go to war, because it would be unlawful? |
1676 | SOCRATES: How? |
1676 | SOCRATES: I am asking if you ever knew any one who did what was dishonourable and yet just? |
1676 | SOCRATES: I suppose that the use of arms would be regarded by you as a male accomplishment? |
1676 | SOCRATES: I suppose that we begin to act when we think that we know what we are doing? |
1676 | SOCRATES: I suppose, because you do not understand shipbuilding:--is that the reason? |
1676 | SOCRATES: I will explain; the shoemaker, for example, uses a square tool, and a circular tool, and other tools for cutting? |
1676 | SOCRATES: In that mirror you will see and know yourselves and your own good? |
1676 | SOCRATES: In the first place, will you be more likely to take care of yourself, if you are in a wholesome fear and dread of them, or if you are not? |
1676 | SOCRATES: In what sort of virtue? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Individuals are agreed with one another about this; and states, equally? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Is anything more required to prove that the soul is man? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Is that a question which a magnanimous soul should ask? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Is this because you think life and courage the best, and death and cowardice the worst? |
1676 | SOCRATES: It is subject, as we were saying? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Leaving the care of our bodies and of our properties to others? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Let me ask you whether better natures are likely to be found in noble races or not in noble races? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Let me take the hand as an illustration; does not a ring belong to the finger, and to the finger only? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Look at the matter yet once more in a further light: he who acts honourably acts well? |
1676 | SOCRATES: No, indeed, and we ought to take counsel together: for do we not wish to be as good as possible? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Nor about divination? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Nor an economist? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Nor are states well administered, when individuals do their own work? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Nor can there be friendship, if friendship is agreement? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Nor men by women when they do their own work? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Nor should we know that we were the persons to whom anything belonged, if we did not know ourselves? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Nor should we know what art makes a ring better, if we did not know a ring? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Not, surely, over horses? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Now let us put the case generally: whenever there is a question and answer, who is the speaker,--the questioner or the answerer? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Now the question which I asked was whether you conceive the user to be always different from that which he uses? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Or about the touch of the lyre? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Or on a voyage? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Or reaping the harvest? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Or suppose that I ask and you tell me the letters which make up the name Socrates, which of us is the speaker? |
1676 | SOCRATES: So you said before, and I must again ask, of whom? |
1676 | SOCRATES: That is to say, I, Socrates, am talking? |
1676 | SOCRATES: That was not what you were saying before; and what do you mean now by affirming that friendship exists when there is no agreement? |
1676 | SOCRATES: That would be the business of the teacher of the chorus? |
1676 | SOCRATES: That would be the office of the pilot? |
1676 | SOCRATES: The bad, then, are miserable? |
1676 | SOCRATES: The husbandmen and the other craftsmen are very far from knowing themselves, for they would seem not even to know their own belongings? |
1676 | SOCRATES: The lover of the body goes away when the flower of youth fades? |
1676 | SOCRATES: The shoemaker, for example, is wise in respect of the making of shoes? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then a man is not the same as his own body? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then about what concerns of theirs will you advise them? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then acting well is a good? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then by gymnastic we take care of our feet, and by shoemaking of that which belongs to our feet? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then by shoemaking we take care of our shoes? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then he is good in that? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then he who bids a man know himself, would have him know his soul? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then he who is not wise and good can not be happy? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then how can they teach them? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then if temperance is the knowledge of self, in respect of his art none of them is temperate? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then if the eye is to see itself, it must look at the eye, and at that part of the eye where sight which is the virtue of the eye resides? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then in taking care of what belongs to you, you do not take care of yourself? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then in that he is bad? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then in their knowledge there is no agreement of women and men? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then let me put the matter in another way: what do you call the Goddesses who are the patronesses of art? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then let us compare our antecedents with those of the Lacedaemonian and Persian kings; are they inferior to us in descent? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then neither the physician regarded as a physician, nor the trainer regarded as a trainer, knows himself? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then such a man can never be a statesman? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then that is not the principle which we are seeking? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then the art which takes care of each thing is different from that which takes care of the belongings of each thing? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then the money- maker has really ceased to be occupied with his own concerns? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then the rescue of one''s friends is honourable in one point of view, but evil in another? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then the shoemaker and the harper are to be distinguished from the hands and feet which they use? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then there was a time when you thought that you did not know what you are now supposed to know? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then they may be expected to be good teachers of these things? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then this is ignorance of the disgraceful sort which is mischievous? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then to the bad man slavery is more becoming, because better? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then upon this view of the matter the same man is good and also bad? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then vice is only suited to a slave? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then we may truly conceive that you and I are conversing with one another, soul to soul? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then what affairs? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then what are the deliberations in which you propose to advise them? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then what do you mean by this friendship or agreement about which we must be wise and discreet in order that we may be good men? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then what is the meaning of being able to rule over men who use other men? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then what shall we say of the shoemaker? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then what will be the subject of deliberation about which you will be justified in getting up and advising them? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then who is speaking? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then whom do you call the good? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then women are not loved by men when they do their own work? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then you are a good adviser about the things which you know? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then you are not perplexed about what you do not know, if you know that you do not know it? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then you did not learn them by discovering them? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then you suppose yourself even when a child to have known the nature of just and unjust? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then you think that cowardice is the worst of evils? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then you, too, would address them on principles of justice? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then, Alcibiades, the just is expedient? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then, if the argument holds, what we find to be honourable we shall also find to be good? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Then, upon your view, women and men have two sorts of knowledge? |
1676 | SOCRATES: There is no subject about which they are more at variance? |
1676 | SOCRATES: They could not teach you how to play at draughts, which you would acknowledge( would you not) to be a much smaller matter than justice? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Those of whom you speak are ruling over men who are using the services of other men? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Very good; and can you tell me how long it is since you thought that you did not know the nature of the just and the unjust? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Very good; but did you ever know a man wise in anything who was unable to impart his particular wisdom? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Very true; and is there not something of the nature of a mirror in our own eyes? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Well, and did Pericles make any one wise; did he begin by making his sons wise? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Well, and in reference to your own case, do you mean to remain as you are, or will you take some pains about yourself? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Well, but are the many agreed with themselves, or with one another, about the justice or injustice of men and things? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Well, but did he make your brother, Cleinias, wise? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Well, but do you imagine that the many would differ about the nature of wood and stone? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Well, naval affairs? |
1676 | SOCRATES: What art makes cities agree about numbers? |
1676 | SOCRATES: What is he, then? |
1676 | SOCRATES: What is the inference? |
1676 | SOCRATES: What sort of affairs? |
1676 | SOCRATES: What things? |
1676 | SOCRATES: What would you say of courage? |
1676 | SOCRATES: What, do you not wish to be persuaded? |
1676 | SOCRATES: When does a man take care of his feet? |
1676 | SOCRATES: When it is well to do so? |
1676 | SOCRATES: When they are doing something or nothing? |
1676 | SOCRATES: When they are sick? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Which is gymnastic? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Which of us now says that two is more than one? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Which of us, then, was the speaker? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Who are good in what? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Who, then, are the persons who make mistakes? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Why, you know that knowledge is the first qualification of any teacher? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Why, you surely know that our city goes to war now and then with the Lacedaemonians and with the great king? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Will you be troubled at having questions to answer? |
1676 | SOCRATES: Yes, I do; and what is the name of the art which is called after them? |
1676 | SOCRATES: You and the state, if you act wisely and justly, will act according to the will of God? |
1676 | SOCRATES: You do, then, mean, as I was saying, to come forward in a little while in the character of an adviser of the Athenians? |
1676 | SOCRATES: You mean about shipbuilding, for example, when the question is what sort of ships they ought to build? |
1676 | SOCRATES: You mean that about them we should have recourse to horsemen? |
1676 | SOCRATES: You mean that we should have recourse to sailors about them? |
1676 | SOCRATES: You mean, when they deliberate with whom they ought to make peace, and with whom they ought to go to war, and in what manner? |
1676 | SOCRATES: You would feel no doubt; and for this reason-- because you would know? |
1676 | Suppose I were to ask you which is the greater number, two or one; you would reply''two''? |
1676 | Suppose that I ask you again, as I did just now, What art makes men know how to rule over their fellow- sailors,--how would you answer? |
1676 | Suppose you were to ask me, what is that of which the presence or absence improves or preserves the order of the body? |
1676 | Surely not about building? |
1676 | Then has he enquired for himself? |
1676 | They can not, of course, be those who know? |
1676 | To take an instance: Would he not say that they should wrestle with those against whom it is best to wrestle? |
1676 | To what does the word refer? |
1676 | Was not that said? |
1676 | Were you then in a state of conscious ignorance and enquiry? |
1676 | What do you say to a year ago? |
1676 | What is that by the presence or absence of which the state is improved and better managed and ordered? |
1676 | Who is he? |
1676 | Why, he asks, should he not learn of them the nature of justice, as he has learned the Greek language of them? |
1676 | Will he not be likely to have his constitution ruined? |
1676 | Will you tell me how? |
1676 | Would not his meaning be:--That the eye should look at that in which it would see itself? |
1676 | You would say the same? |
1676 | and do they not run to fetch the same thing, when they want a piece of wood or a stone? |
1676 | and if men, under what circumstances? |
1676 | and when does he take care? |
1676 | are they not agreed if you ask them what they are? |
1676 | if at the time you did not know whether you were wronged or not? |
1676 | what art can give that agreement? |
57260 | 130 But who can all their frauds repeat? |
57260 | A single lion bears some sway in the creation, but what is single man? |
57260 | All this is reasoning, and you know the thing will not bear it: how can you be so cruel? |
57260 | Always in haste, Horatio? |
57260 | And every body else, I should think, that understands it, and has any taste: do not you think it to be very engaging? |
57260 | And if that be impossible, Whether it is not the duty of all sovereigns to reduce their subjects, as to wealth and numbers, as much as they can? |
57260 | And if the gods have given you a superiority over all creatures, then why beg you of an inferior? |
57260 | And that as soon as they were made, they could speak, reason, and were endued with knowledge? |
57260 | And what good these notions will produce? |
57260 | And what say you of Lord Shaftsbury? |
57260 | And why will you choose to call it pride rather than honour? |
57260 | Are provisions dear? |
57260 | Are these things real? |
57260 | Are they not beneficial to mankind, and of use to the public? |
57260 | Are you in earnest? |
57260 | At this rate, men could never be formed into an aggregate body: How came society into the world? |
57260 | Besides, we have time enough.----Do you want to go out? |
57260 | But above all, what is it that buoys up and supports him against the fear of death? |
57260 | But after all this quiet easy temper, this indolence you talk of, is it not what, in plain English, we call laziness? |
57260 | But are there no persons in the world that are good by choice? |
57260 | But do not we move our bodies as we list; and is not every action determined by the will? |
57260 | But do not you think there is a difference in souls; and are they all equally good or equally bad? |
57260 | But have you read it through yet? |
57260 | But how came you to think of mechanic motion, in the pleasure of a free agent? |
57260 | But how comes the practice of scolding and calling names to be so common among the vulgar all the world over? |
57260 | But how do you know a foundation to be rotten that supports the building, and is wholly concealed from you? |
57260 | But if it had not been revealed, or you had been a Chinese, or a Mexican, what would you answer me as a philosopher? |
57260 | But if it is a good book, why then are so many of the clergy so much against it as they are? |
57260 | But if the earth had been too full of inhabitants, might not Providence have sent pestilences and diseases oftener? |
57260 | But if, without any regard to the interest or happiness of the city, the question was put, What place I thought most pleasant to walk in? |
57260 | But is it not true? |
57260 | But is not a man''s knowledge a real part of himself? |
57260 | But is not every man of sense capable of knowing this from his reason? |
57260 | But is not that provoking? |
57260 | But is not the sociableness of man the work of nature, or rather of the author of nature, Divine Providence? |
57260 | But is not thinking the business of the soul? |
57260 | But is the desire of meliorating our condition which you named, so general, that no man is without it? |
57260 | But might not religion, the fear of an invisible cause, be made serviceable to them, as to the keeping of their contracts? |
57260 | But pray come to the point: which of the two do you take to be the finest language? |
57260 | But to keep both to their respective duties, why must a lady have more pride than a gentleman? |
57260 | But was not man by nature designed for society? |
57260 | But what have the aldermen, the common council, or indeed all people of any substance to do with the war, but to pay taxes? |
57260 | But what is it at last, that raises opulent cities and powerful nations from the smallest beginnings? |
57260 | But what is it, pray, that so suddenly disposes a courteous sweet- tempered man, for so small an evil, to seek a remedy of that extreme violence? |
57260 | But what is that to us who labour under a contrary disease? |
57260 | But what makes so just and prudent a man, that has the good of society so much at heart, act knowingly against the laws of his country? |
57260 | But what relation has all this to religion or infidelity, more than it has to navigation or the peace in the north? |
57260 | But what will you say to tickling, which will make an infant laugh that is deaf and blind? |
57260 | But when I asked you that general question, why did you confine yourself to revealed religion? |
57260 | But when shall we come to the origin of politeness? |
57260 | But which way can you prove this miraculous assistance? |
57260 | But who can blame them? |
57260 | But who knows, what to make of a man, who recommends a thing very seriously in one page, and ridicules it in the next? |
57260 | But who must give orders and instructions to admirals, generals, governors, and all our ministers in foreign courts? |
57260 | But why do you imagine that people would continue to make use of signs and gestures, after they could sufficiently express themselves in words? |
57260 | But why do you say of the first, that it is commonly imagined; is it not true then? |
57260 | But why is it impossible for human nature ever to be good? |
57260 | But why may not the love of our species be named, as one of these properties? |
57260 | But why pretended believers? |
57260 | But why should a sober young man, who is guilty of no vice, be debarred from lawful enjoyments? |
57260 | But why should pride be more encouraged in women than in men? |
57260 | But why should you believe miracles at all? |
57260 | But why will you prevaricate with me after this manner? |
57260 | But without banter, do not you think that the French tongue is more proper, more fit to persuade in, than ours? |
57260 | But would it not be a greater security to have men of honour, of sense and knowledge, of application and frugality, preferred to public employments? |
57260 | But would lions and tigers in hot countries keep so close within their bounds, and bears in cold ones, as never to straggle or stray beyond them? |
57260 | But would not the wildest man you can imagine, have from nature some thoughts of justice and injustice? |
57260 | But would religion have no influence upon them? |
57260 | But you are partial: what odds is there between a stone and a lump of earth, for either of them to become a human creature? |
57260 | But your reason? |
57260 | But( says a charitable young gentlewoman) though you have the heart to starve your parson, have you no bowels of compassion for his wife and children? |
57260 | By things acquired, I thought you meant learning and virtue; how come you to talk of birth and descent? |
57260 | Can any one doubt but these are the great nursery of thieves and pickpockets? |
57260 | Can any one in his senses imagine, that an indigent thoughtless wretch, without sense or education, should ever act from such generous principles? |
57260 | Can you account for that by your system? |
57260 | Can you find no delicacy at all in the thought? |
57260 | Can you think a man serious on a subject, when he leaves it in the manner he does? |
57260 | Can you think of any thing belonging to literature, of less importance, or more useless? |
57260 | Could you submit to be the jest and scorn of public- houses, stage- coaches, and market- places? |
57260 | Daniel, indeed, was saved by miracle; but what is that to the rest of mankind? |
57260 | Did ever any man, since the blessed revelation of the gospel, run riot upon Christianity, as some men, nay, and some few women too, have lately done? |
57260 | Did this man spring out of the earth, I wonder, or did he drop from the sky? |
57260 | Do not you believe that dogs and horses think? |
57260 | Do not you fall into the same error, which, you say, Hobbes has been guilty of, when you talk of man''s necessitous and helpless condition? |
57260 | Do not you see the irony there? |
57260 | Do not you think, that many eminent men in the learned professions would dissent from you in this? |
57260 | Do not you think, then, that there are men in laborious offices, who, for a fixed salary, discharge their duties with diligence and assiduity? |
57260 | Do we not owe the growth of wine To the dry shabby crooked vine? |
57260 | Do you argue, or pretend to prove any thing from those conjectures? |
57260 | Do you believe Hesiod? |
57260 | Do you believe there ever was a man who had made himself? |
57260 | Do you lay any stress upon sphinxes, basilisks, flying dragons, and bulls that spit fire? |
57260 | Do you remember the six lines in the Cid, which Corneille is said to have had a present of six thousand livres for? |
57260 | Do you remember the storm upon the coast of Genoa? |
57260 | Do you remember what your concern was chiefly about? |
57260 | Do you remember where we left off? |
57260 | Do you take yourself to be entirely impartial now? |
57260 | Do you think it more probable, that men of parts and learning should be preferred, than others of less capacity? |
57260 | Do you think that the lowest of the mob, and the scum of the people, are possessed of any part of this principle? |
57260 | Do you think women have more pride from nature than men? |
57260 | Do you understand how something can come from nothing? |
57260 | Does not man love company, as he does every thing else, for his own sake? |
57260 | Does not the history tell us, that the child was laid in the manger? |
57260 | For not daring to violate all human and divine laws? |
57260 | For what? |
57260 | Fraud, luxury, and pride must live, 415 While we the benefits receive: Hunger''s a dreadful plague, no doubt, Yet who digests or thrives without? |
57260 | Going to Naples? |
57260 | Had you any thing to add? |
57260 | Has not my poor woman, in what I have related of her, acted in conformity to this social system? |
57260 | Have you considered the things we discoursed of yesterday? |
57260 | Have you found any such thing in it? |
57260 | Have you heard any thing from Gibraltar? |
57260 | Have you no taste for music, Madam? |
57260 | Have you not owned, that you have thought worse of me, than now you find me to deserve? |
57260 | Have you paper? |
57260 | Have you thought on the novelty I started? |
57260 | How can any thing be said not to clash with virtue or religion, that has nothing to do with either, and consequently disclaims both? |
57260 | How can you ask? |
57260 | How come you now to have such an anxious regard for what may be the opinion of the vulgar, whom at other times you so heartily despise? |
57260 | How come you to know my thoughts better than I do myself? |
57260 | How comes it, then, that a man of honour should so easily accept of a challenge, though at thirty and in perfect health? |
57260 | How could these things exist, if there had not been men of very bright parts and uncommon talents? |
57260 | How does it appear that the author addresses himself to such? |
57260 | How does it begin? |
57260 | How famous have the Cynic philosophers made themselves, only by refusing to dissimulate and make use of superfluities? |
57260 | How is that demonstrable? |
57260 | How is that possible, when it must cost them trouble, and there is a palpable self- denial to be seen in the restraint they put upon themselves? |
57260 | How is that, pray? |
57260 | How is that? |
57260 | How long is it ago that mathematics were brought into physic? |
57260 | How must these people be disposed of? |
57260 | I am pleased with your observations, and the knowledge you display of mankind; but pray, is not the frugality you now speak of a virtue? |
57260 | I desire to touch nothing of you but what is good to eat; but why do you value yourself so much upon that part which is invisible? |
57260 | I do not care to enter into these abstruse matters; what have you further to say in praise of money? |
57260 | I have not observed that: Which way has he done it indirectly? |
57260 | I know better than to rob you of such an opportunity for speculation? |
57260 | I thought what a convert you was: but what new madness has seized you now? |
57260 | I wonder at that: why so, pray? |
57260 | If we can not alter their resolution, why should we applaud the justness of their sentiments against the common interest? |
57260 | If you are but serious, whence comes this change? |
57260 | If you ask me, why I have done all this, cui bono? |
57260 | If you tell me the gods made man master over all other creatures, what tyranny was it then to destroy them out of wantonness? |
57260 | Is he not still more extravagant in those things he makes use of? |
57260 | Is it a thought to be born with patience? |
57260 | Is it a wonder, that people, under such circumstances, and loaden with greater taxes, besides, than any other nation, should be obliged to be saving? |
57260 | Is it not strange that nature should send us all into the world with a visible desire after government, and no capacity for it at all? |
57260 | Is it not very reasonable he should marry? |
57260 | Is it probable, that amongst the bees, there has ever been any other form of government than what every swarm submits to now? |
57260 | Is it such a mortification not to desire a greater share of worldly blessings, than what every reasonable man ought to be satisfied with? |
57260 | Is not a vast deal owing, in the raising of a nation, to the difference there is in the spirit and genius of people? |
57260 | Is not that a horrid thing? |
57260 | Is not the king''s warrant their discharge? |
57260 | Is not this the certain fate of a man, who should refuse to fight, or bear an affront without resentment? |
57260 | Is there a trade or handicraft but what supplies us with something we wanted? |
57260 | Is there ever a meeting- house or barn to be compared to a fine cathedral, for this purpose? |
57260 | Is this otherwise than standing up for the goodness of a design, at the same time you confess, that it never was, or ever can be executed? |
57260 | Is this owing to the charity schools? |
57260 | It certainly once was new: which pray do you believe more ancient, pulling off the hat, or saying, your humble servant? |
57260 | Just eight days? |
57260 | Languid I say; for what is man''s hunger, if compared to the lion''s? |
57260 | Man never acknowledged superiority without power, and why should I? |
57260 | Might I not justly say then, that this is quite contrary and destructive to the scheme on which it is plain this earth was built? |
57260 | Nay, what could any body think to hear me making the kindest interpretations of things that can be imagined, and yourself doing quite the reverse? |
57260 | No: Who affirms there can? |
57260 | Now surely, you have overshot the mark; nothing? |
57260 | Of Marlborough? |
57260 | Or that among the highest quality, infants can be affected with it before they are two years old? |
57260 | Or( what still seems the greater paradox) that incontinence should be made serviceable to the preservation of chastity? |
57260 | Ovid''s Metamorphosis? |
57260 | Perhaps not: but what say you to renouncing the world, and the solemn promise we have made of it? |
57260 | Pray cousin, has good sense ever any share in the judgment which your men of true taste form about pictures? |
57260 | Pray pardon my rudeness for once: What is it that hinders you now from keeping me company for an hour or two? |
57260 | Pray, Horatio, can there be honour without justice? |
57260 | Pray, how came that into the world? |
57260 | Pray, is it good manners to tell a man that he is meanly born, or to hint at his descent, when it is known to be vulgar? |
57260 | Pray, says he, friend, will you step for me with this letter as far as Bow- church, and I will give you a penny? |
57260 | Primus in orbe Deos fecit timor; Are you of that opinion? |
57260 | Right; marriage is lawful, and so is a coach; but what is that to people that have not money enough to keep one? |
57260 | Shall I allow all this? |
57260 | Shall we sit down in it? |
57260 | Since we are such odd creatures, why should we not make the most of it? |
57260 | Strictly speaking you are in the right, it is unanswerable; but who will consider things in that light? |
57260 | Such a petition would certainly be a very unconscionable one; yet where is the man who imagines not that he has a right to make it? |
57260 | That is a pretty question: do you think a young fellow of six- and- twenty, as I was then, and in my circumstances, had a great mind to be drowned? |
57260 | That is absolutely impossible, at least in such a nation as ours: for what would you do for judges and chancellors? |
57260 | That is the child, I suppose: why it should be in the manger; should it not? |
57260 | That they were produced at once, I mean at their full growth; he from a lump of earth, and she from one of his ribs? |
57260 | The bambino? |
57260 | The most favourable constructions with all my heart: But what is that to the purpose, when all the straining in the world can not make it a good one? |
57260 | Then why do you fear death, if you think the gods as just as you have been? |
57260 | Then you think children reap great benefit from the nonsensical chat of nurses? |
57260 | Then, what is the reason that the same Dutch, in the two latter provinces, though poorer than the first, are yet less stingy and more hospitable? |
57260 | There is fine architecture, there is a colonnade; can any thing be thought of more magnificent? |
57260 | This is more unintelligible than any thing you have said yet; why will you heap difficulties upon one another, without solving any? |
57260 | This is not the only thing which, though it be true, we are not able to conceive: How came the first man to exist? |
57260 | This is worth consideration, and requires time to be examined into; but where is your fine gentleman, the picture you promised? |
57260 | To be wished for, perhaps, it may be, but what probability is there that this ever will come to pass? |
57260 | Truly, besides the reader''s diversion, I believe none at all; but if I was asked, what naturally ought to be expected from them? |
57260 | Was ever I a Roman Catholic? |
57260 | Was it never published? |
57260 | Was you afraid? |
57260 | We are now come to a short question: God or the devil? |
57260 | We have strange accounts of his generosity and gratitude; but do you believe them? |
57260 | What actions are they which you judge this from? |
57260 | What answer is all this to my objection? |
57260 | What changes have ever bees made in their furniture or architecture? |
57260 | What do you think is the reason, that there is but one way for us to come into the world? |
57260 | What evil is it? |
57260 | What fault do you find with these kind constructions; do they detract from the dignity of our species? |
57260 | What fine amends has this good Christian made for his crime, and what an honest man was the priest who directed his conscience? |
57260 | What frailty or defect is it in our nature, that the two first commandments have a regard to, or, as you call it, tally with? |
57260 | What has an oil shop to do with silks; or who would look for hams and pickles at a mercers? |
57260 | What has mechanism to do with that? |
57260 | What hurt do I do to man, if I make him more known to himself than he was before? |
57260 | What is all this but the old story over again, that every thing is pride, and all we see hypocrisy, without proof or argument? |
57260 | What is it that induces you to believe this, besides the possibility of his forgetfulness? |
57260 | What is it that superintends thought in them? |
57260 | What is it upon an hypocrite that dares to be perjured? |
57260 | What is life? |
57260 | What is that, pray? |
57260 | What is that? |
57260 | What is the matter? |
57260 | What is the next? |
57260 | What is your client to do? |
57260 | What life have you led? |
57260 | What makes you couple together two things so diametrically opposite? |
57260 | What makes you smile? |
57260 | What mortal can decide which is the handsomest, abstract from the mode in being, to wear great buttons or small ones? |
57260 | What motive could the frequent repetitions of the same solemnities spring from, whenever it was suspected that the least holy trifle had been omitted? |
57260 | What must we do in this dilemma? |
57260 | What objection have you against it? |
57260 | What occasion has the dolphin for a ship, or what carriage would an eagle ask to travel in? |
57260 | What of all this? |
57260 | What say you now, Cleomenes; is it not this without ceremony? |
57260 | What say you now, Fulvia, of nature and good sense, are they not quite beat out of doors? |
57260 | What say you to the prime minister who governs all, and acts immediately under the king? |
57260 | What signifies a theory, which a man destroys by his practice? |
57260 | What signifies that, where there is a passion that manifestly sways, and with a strict hand governs that will? |
57260 | What sort of people are they, and where must we look for them, whom you will own to act from those principles of virtue? |
57260 | What stupendous cunning, I pray? |
57260 | What time, how many ages do you think it would require to have a well- civilized nation from such a savage pair as yours? |
57260 | What to do with? |
57260 | What to do? |
57260 | What virtue is it the exercise of which requires so much pomp and superfluity, as are to be seen by all men in power? |
57260 | What was the quarrel? |
57260 | What was you afraid of? |
57260 | What will you then say to, video meliora proboque, deteriora sequor? |
57260 | What would you infer from this? |
57260 | What would you infer from this? |
57260 | What would, at this rate, become of our manufactures? |
57260 | What, because he would have the laws against it as severe as possible, and nobody pardoned, without exception, that offends that way? |
57260 | What, is it impossible to wish it? |
57260 | When people scold, call names, and pelt one another with scurrilities, what design is that done with? |
57260 | When things are set in this light, I confess it is very unaccountable: but will your system explain this; can you make it clear yourself? |
57260 | When things have a handsome appearance every way, what reason have you to suspect them still to be bad? |
57260 | When you talk of flattery and impudence, what do you think of the first man that had the face to tell his equal, that he was his humble servant? |
57260 | When? |
57260 | Whence came the Dryades and Hama- Dryades? |
57260 | Whence does that ever appear? |
57260 | Where are they then? |
57260 | Where is there such a landlord in the world? |
57260 | Where would have been the inconveniency of that? |
57260 | Where would you look for the excellency of a statue, but in that part which you see of it? |
57260 | Which are they? |
57260 | Which is the best religion? |
57260 | Which part of the brain do you think the soul to be more immediately lodged in; or do you take it to be diffused through the whole? |
57260 | Which way can you give me this assurance; how can you prove it? |
57260 | Which way shall I persuade a man to serve me, when the service I can repay him in, is such as he does not want or care for? |
57260 | Who can despise riches more, or show himself less avaricious than he, who will not so much as touch gold or silver, no not with his feet? |
57260 | Who is that, pray? |
57260 | Who is to take care of the king''s interest throughout the kingdom, and of his safety? |
57260 | Who would imagine, that virtuous women, unknowingly, should be instrumental in promoting the advantage of prostitutes? |
57260 | Who would so much as surmise, that this is the fault of the virtuous women? |
57260 | Whose fault is that, as long as you have ground untilled and hands unemployed? |
57260 | Whose fault is that? |
57260 | Whose is that, pray? |
57260 | Why can not you believe this? |
57260 | Why do not you speak more openly, and say that there is no virtue or probity in the world? |
57260 | Why do they? |
57260 | Why do you so much insist upon it, that this principle, this value men set upon themselves, is a passion? |
57260 | Why do you think so? |
57260 | Why should Mr. Hall''s conviction and execution be any more an objection against the clergy, than Mr. Layer''s against the gentlemen of the long robe? |
57260 | Why should we be neglectful of it in the most important point, when they make their boast that they will not live as the poor of other nations? |
57260 | Why so? |
57260 | Why so? |
57260 | Why so? |
57260 | Why so? |
57260 | Why so? |
57260 | Why so? |
57260 | Why then is it pretended that painting is an imitation of nature? |
57260 | Why, pray? |
57260 | Will you suffer me to ask you some questions, and will you answer them directly and in good humour? |
57260 | With all my heart: But may there not be an hundred such savages in the world with large families, that might never meet, nor ever hear of one another? |
57260 | Without doubt: For, if judgment and reason were given him, what could hinder him from making use of those faculties, as well as others do? |
57260 | Wolves and wild boars? |
57260 | Would not this follow from your system? |
57260 | Would not you do it yourself? |
57260 | Would you add any more? |
57260 | Would you be posted for a coward? |
57260 | Would you become a town and table- talk? |
57260 | Yes, if it really was obtained: but how shall we be sure of this, and what reason have we to believe that it ever was? |
57260 | You do not believe that the stars have any love for one another, I am sure: Then why more reason? |
57260 | You have made the most of it indeed, but are you not tired yet with these fooleries yourself? |
57260 | You have strange notions of our species: But has not a man, by the time that he comes to maturity, some notions of right and wrong, that are natural? |
57260 | You have, without doubt, thought on this subject before now; would you communicate to me some of your guesses? |
57260 | You make stocks and stones of us; is it not in our choice to act, or not to act? |
57260 | You take great delight in dwelling on the behaviour of savages; what relation has this to politeness? |
57260 | You will give me leave to wait upon you to your coach, Madam.----Pray, Cleomenes, what is it you have got in your head? |
57260 | [ 8] Quis est tam vecors qui non intelligat, numine hoc tantum imperium esse natum, actum, et retentum? |
57260 | and what good these notions will produce? |
57260 | be just, Cleomenes; is it to be avoided? |
57260 | but what need we go so far off? |
57260 | do not men speak to be understood? |
57260 | has God never punished and destroyed great nations for their sins? |
57260 | have they ever made cells that were not sexangular, or added any tools to those which nature furnished them with at the beginning? |
57260 | must the devil grow rampant at this rate, and not to be called coram nobis? |
57260 | must they not have others at home, that are likewise able to treat with foreign ministers? |
57260 | on what, pray? |
57260 | or shall we be so silly, as relying on what they say, to think them sincere in their sentiments, and so not believe our own eyes? |
57260 | pray what must remain of forty pounds a year, after it has been twice so unmercifully split? |
57260 | what moralist or politician was it, that could teach men to be proud of hiding their pride? |
57260 | what view is it done with? |
57260 | where must we look for it? |
57260 | which is the main spring? |
12958 | ''And art thou not a married wretch? 12958 ''But what can I do with the little baggage?'' |
12958 | ''Is there no reason, think you,''said I,''to imagine that your acquaintance with me gives her uneasiness? 12958 ''Well, but after all, Sir Simon,''would I say, if I had been in presence at his peevish hour,''you are a fine gentleman, are you not? |
12958 | All in good time, Pamela!--But is this the best appearance you choose to make, to receive such guests? |
12958 | And are you in earnest, Pamela? |
12958 | And do you think, Sir, whether it be so or not, that it is equitable it should be so? |
12958 | And is her ladyship there, or in town? |
12958 | And must I, Sir, speak my mind on such a point, before so many better judges? |
12958 | And what is the result? |
12958 | And who can better instruct us to guard_ our hearts_, than a lady who has so well defended_ her own_? |
12958 | And will you, dearest lady, take under your own immediate protection, the poor unguilty infant? 12958 Are you angry, Widow?" |
12958 | As how, Sir? |
12958 | As how, my dear? |
12958 | Ay, Pamela,said Mr. B.,"what can you say to this? |
12958 | But do you yield it up cheerfully, my dear? |
12958 | But how came Mr. Adams, Polly, to know of this letter? |
12958 | But how can I help it?--Must I not connive at your proceedings, if I do not? 12958 But how does my Pamela? |
12958 | But how, brother baronet,said Sir Charles to Sir Jacob,"came_ you_ to be reconciled to her? |
12958 | But pray, dear Sir, what had you in view in all this? 12958 But then, Madam,"said Miss,"would Profusiana venture to play at public places? |
12958 | But what became of the naughty boys, and the naughty girl, mamma? |
12958 | But what can I do? |
12958 | But why ca n''t you bear with it a little longer, sister? 12958 But will not that be presumptuous, Sir?" |
12958 | But, after all, does happiness to a gentleman, a scholar, a philosopher, rest in a greater or lesser income? 12958 But, say, my Pamela, can you forgive my harshness?" |
12958 | But,said Lady Towers, very satirically,"whither, ladies, are we got? |
12958 | Butt cann you forgive me? 12958 Dear Sir, if I should tell you it is_ not_ Mr. Turner, you''ll guess at somebody else: and what avails all this to the matter in hand? |
12958 | Dear Sir,said I, almost as quick as he was,"why should I be moved? |
12958 | Do I want you, Confidence? 12958 Do n''t the Misses love you now, Miss Goodwin?" |
12958 | Does what I said concern Mr. Martin more than any other gentleman,returned Lady Towers,"that he is disposed to take offence at it?" |
12958 | For myself, what can I say? 12958 Has he given you money?" |
12958 | How came Mr. B.,thought I,"to tell_ you_ that, Madam? |
12958 | How can I enough,returned I, and kissed her hand,"acknowledge your ladyship''s polite goodness in this compliment? |
12958 | How do you do, niece? |
12958 | How dost thou know what wits_ should_ or should_ not_ do? 12958 How often must I chide you for calling me any thing but your Pamela, when we are alone together?" |
12958 | I asked if it were not owing to some alteration in his own temper? 12958 I hope, friend, thou art prepared with a father for the light within thee?" |
12958 | I know it, Polly; and are you not of opinion he loves you a little? |
12958 | I need not dress otherwise than I am? |
12958 | I see( might he not have said? |
12958 | I''ll tell you, truly, Pamela: I said to her,''Well, now your ladyship has seen my Pamela-- Is she not the charmingest girl in the world?'' 12958 I_ am_, and what then?--Must the consequence be crime enough to warrant your jealousy?" |
12958 | Is it not descending too much, my ladies, as to the company? |
12958 | Is that it? 12958 Is this wit?" |
12958 | It is so then? |
12958 | Madam,said he to the countess,"Lord Davers, Lady Davers, do we want any titles, think you, to make us happy but what we can confer upon ourselves?" |
12958 | Mr. Williams, how do you do? |
12958 | Nay, now you talk of treating,said Sir Charles,"when, ladies, will you treat our sex with the politeness which you shew to one another?" |
12958 | O my good lady,said he,"who can forbear following such an example as you set? |
12958 | O, Madam, what can you mean? 12958 Right or wrong, Sir Jacob?" |
12958 | She has; and what then? |
12958 | Sir-- Sir,hesitated I,"as you please-- I can''t-- I ca n''t be displeased--""_ Displeased?_"interrupted he:"why that word? |
12958 | Sir-- Sir,hesitated I,"as you please-- I can''t-- I ca n''t be displeased--""_ Displeased?_"interrupted he:"why that word? |
12958 | So, Pamela!--How do you do now? |
12958 | So, my dear love,says he,"how do you?" |
12958 | That''s very true,replied he:"But would you expect I should give you a_ reason_ for an attempt that appears to you so very shocking?" |
12958 | The very mention of the word, dear Sir, is a security to me; I want no other; I can not doubt: but if you speak short to me, how shall I bear that? |
12958 | Then what occasion have I for it, if that be the case, Madam? |
12958 | Then you do n''t approve of them, Pamela? |
12958 | Then, dear Sir,said I,"must I not be a strange creature? |
12958 | They are certainly in the right-- But were you not a dear perverse creature, to give me all this trouble about your saucy scruples? |
12958 | Upon this, my mother said,''Do n''t you think Pamela writes a pretty hand, son?'' 12958 Was not my girl a little inquisitive upon me just now?" |
12958 | Was the gentleman a man of wit, Madam? 12958 Well, Pamela,"said he, a little seriously,"what say the worthy pair?" |
12958 | Well, but then, Sir, as to the expression to her uncle, that she had rather have been a certain gentleman''s second wife? |
12958 | Well, but then, dear Sir, there is nothing at all amiss, at this rate, in the correspondence between my lady and you? |
12958 | Well, but, mamma, we will all be good:-Won''t we, Master Davers? |
12958 | Well, for my part,said Lady Davers,"thou art a strange girl: where, as my brother once said, gottest thou all this?" |
12958 | Well, my dear,said Mr. B.,"but what would you advise in this case? |
12958 | Well, my strange dear!--But sure your head is a little turned!--What is your question? |
12958 | Well, so, this is your bar, is it? 12958 Well, then, my dearest,"said he,"we will forgive one another? |
12958 | Well; but may I not ask, whether, if the mountain can not come to Mahomet, Mahomet will not come to the mountain? 12958 What a happy thing is it,"thought I,"that good nature generally accompanies this character; else, how would some people be supportable?" |
12958 | What ails the little fool? |
12958 | What answer did my Lord S. make to it? |
12958 | What foolishness is this on both sides!--But are you willing to be released from this bargain? |
12958 | What have I done? 12958 What is your boast, dearest Sir? |
12958 | What is your proposal, my dear? 12958 What mean you, Sir?--Who are you, Sir?--What mean you?" |
12958 | What means all this parade, my dear? 12958 What means my dearest?" |
12958 | What now,with some little impatience,"would the pretty fool be at?" |
12958 | What say_ you_, Sir? |
12958 | What should you be vexed at, my dear? |
12958 | What then, does he pass his time_ with you_, Polly? |
12958 | What''s the matter, my love? |
12958 | What, all this while, is poor Profusiana doing? 12958 What, dost think I shall look through_ his_ foolish eyes? |
12958 | What_ means_ the dear creature? 12958 When, Sir, am I to come upon my trial? |
12958 | Whence this insolence? 12958 Where''s Pamela?" |
12958 | Whether, Sir, the Nun-- I speak boldly; the cause requires it-- who followed you at the Masquerade every where, is not the Countess of--? |
12958 | Who is to be judge of that? |
12958 | Who would not be good? |
12958 | Who''s that? |
12958 | Why have I wept the distresses of the injured Hermione? |
12958 | Why so? |
12958 | Why this,continued the countess,"must be_ born_ dignity--_born_ discretion-- Education can not give it:--if it could, why should not_ we_ have it?" |
12958 | Will not a penitent Nun make a good third with a mournful Widow, and a prim Quaker? |
12958 | Will not my friends be welcome, Pamela? |
12958 | Will you be pleased, Madam, to have a chair? 12958 Will you favour us with your company home, my old acquaintance?" |
12958 | Will you give Master to my arms, one moment, Madam? |
12958 | Will you give me leave, my dear,said he,"to break the seal?" |
12958 | Will you suffer me, Sir, to attend you? 12958 Will your ladyship see him now?" |
12958 | Would you have me dress better? |
12958 | Yet I fancy, Madam, the wind is a little too high for you.--Won''t you catch cold? |
12958 | You answer me not,continued I;"and may I not fairly presume you can not as I wish to be answered? |
12958 | You are ruined if you do!--And I wish-- But tell me, Polly, are you not ruined as it is? |
12958 | You talk to me, my dearest life, as if all you had heard against me was true; and you would have me answer you,( would you?) 12958 You talked, Madam,"said she,"when I saw you before, that I should come and live with you-- Will you let me, Madam? |
12958 | _ There_--and what then? |
12958 | ''And will you,''said I,''ingenuously acquaint me with the issue of your inquiries? |
12958 | ''This is her writing, is it?'' |
12958 | ''Tis not unusual with our vain sex,"observed he,"to construe even reproaches to our advantage,")''is the lady here, whose shackles thou wearest?'' |
12958 | ''s hands, since you have such testimonies,_ both_ of you, of the rectitude of her thinking and acting?" |
12958 | ''s in this particular? |
12958 | ''s place in her absence?" |
12958 | ( for I honour the slut with too much of my notice),"Where''s Polly?" |
12958 | ( who is since dead), I could not but notice her fondness for her, and said,''What do you design, Madam, to do_ with_ or_ for_, this Pamela of yours? |
12958 | ( who knows?) |
12958 | ),"let me offer but one thing: do n''t you think Sir Simon himself would be loth to be thought a reformed gentleman? |
12958 | --"And what could he say?" |
12958 | --"Are they so?" |
12958 | --"As how?--As what?--In what way?--How faulty?" |
12958 | --"But where,"said Lady Davers,"collectedst thou all this good sense, and fine spirit in thy devotion?" |
12958 | --"Do I, Sir?" |
12958 | --"Dost thou,"said she,"hate shackles? |
12958 | --"For what, Lady Davers?" |
12958 | --"For what, Madam? |
12958 | --"I had consented--"--"To what?" |
12958 | --"I hope not too, Polly!--But you know he was free enough with you, to make you say''_ Fie!_''And what might have been the case, who knows? |
12958 | --"No, Madam, but--"--"But what?--Say, but what?" |
12958 | --"Or in me?" |
12958 | --"Rather,"whispered she,"what is become of the Spaniard?" |
12958 | --"Well pray, Sir, go on.--What was next?" |
12958 | --"Well then, shall I go up, and oblige Pamela to sup by herself, and persuade Lady Jenny to come down to us?" |
12958 | --"What is it I hear? |
12958 | --"What proposals?" |
12958 | --"Why, dost believe, Goodman Andrews,"said he,"that I would do such a thing? |
12958 | --"With all my heart, Madam,"replied Mr. Williams;"and I shall be proud of such a direction,"--"What say_ you_, brother? |
12958 | --"With all my heart,"replied he.--"But, uncle,"said Mr. B.,"have you really no desire, no curiosity to see the girl I have married?" |
12958 | --"With me, Sir Jacob?" |
12958 | --"Yet, what is that virtue,"said the dean,"which can not stand the test?" |
12958 | --"You speak to your knowledge, I doubt not, Sir Jacob?" |
12958 | --''Is it not?'' |
12958 | --(Did she say?) |
12958 | --For just then, the chariot brought me into the court- yard--"Who''s this? |
12958 | --Lady Davers then turning herself to Mrs. Jervis--"How do you, good woman?" |
12958 | --She was silent.--"Tell me, Polly( for I am really greatly concerned for you), what you think_ yourself_; do you_ hope_ he will marry you?" |
12958 | --She was silent.--"Tell me, Polly, if he does?" |
12958 | --Was not this, my ladies, a triumph of triumphs to the late miserable, now exalted, Pamela!--could I do less than pardon her? |
12958 | --could resolve as she resolved, and act as she acted? |
12958 | Again and again, I say( for what can I say else or more-- since I ca n''t find words to speak all I think? |
12958 | All her courtship was sometimes a hasty snatch of the hand, a black and blue gripe of the arm, and--"Whither now?" |
12958 | All my resolution fails me; what shall I do? |
12958 | And I rung and rung, and"Where''s Polly?" |
12958 | And I was getting away as fast as I could: but he arose and took my hand,"Why is my charmer so soon frightened?" |
12958 | And being told, came up to me:--"What ails the good woman below, my dear?" |
12958 | And can we propose ourselves, for the government of our children, a better example than that of the Creator? |
12958 | And did her ladyship so answer?" |
12958 | And do n''t you remember, when we were at Bath, in what a hurry I once passed by some knots of genteel people, and you asked what those were doing? |
12958 | And having declared that I did so, was I not to shew the sincerity of my declaration? |
12958 | And how could I forbear repeating these kind things to you, that you may see how well every thing is taken that you do? |
12958 | And how did she bring it about?" |
12958 | And if the dear gentleman had two or three thousand less, might he be less happy on that account? |
12958 | And if you had intended to have gone without taking leave of me?" |
12958 | And is it so great a praise, that you think fit to own for a sister so deserving a girl as this, whom I take pride in calling my wife?" |
12958 | And let us know your opinion, whether my brother himself does right, to comply with such an unreasonable distaste?" |
12958 | And now, my dear parents, do you not rejoice with me in this charming, charming appearance? |
12958 | And rising up--"Will you excuse me, Sir, that I can not attend at all to such a subject as this? |
12958 | And should you care to try? |
12958 | And so we shew how little we deserve what we have been so long coveting; and yet covet on: for what? |
12958 | And then looking up at his face, and down at his feet, three or four times successively,"Are you my brother''s son? |
12958 | And what did you design should come of it?" |
12958 | And what do you think the free gentleman said upon it? |
12958 | And what have_ you_ to do but to rejoice? |
12958 | And what is the instruction that can be gathered from such pieces, for the conduct of common life? |
12958 | And what is the_ honour_ you swear by? |
12958 | And what punishment does not such a seducer deserve?" |
12958 | And what was the consequence? |
12958 | And when once I asked myself, to what this conversation might tend at last? |
12958 | And where''s your lord? |
12958 | And who can then be so blest as your Pamela? |
12958 | And why should it not be so? |
12958 | And why this wry face? |
12958 | And will it be right then to say, you are uneasy under such( at least as to your wills) returned and discharged obligations? |
12958 | And will ladies so disgrace their characters, and their sex, as to pursue this pernicious diversion in public?" |
12958 | And will not the man of_ mind_ bestow his principal care in improving that mind? |
12958 | And wo n''t that be an ugly foible overcome? |
12958 | Are you not?" |
12958 | At last, up he got, and swore a sad oath:"And am I thus tricked and bamboozled,"that was his word;"am I? |
12958 | B. come up again? |
12958 | B. said,"Why are you not full- dressed, my dear?" |
12958 | B.--"O why,"as Deborah makes the mother of Sisera say,"is his chariot so long in coming? |
12958 | B.?" |
12958 | B.?" |
12958 | B.?" |
12958 | B.?" |
12958 | B.?" |
12958 | B.?" |
12958 | B.?" |
12958 | Believing the Countess was desirous of being alone with me, I said,"My dear Miss Goodwin, wo n''t you go to your little nursery, my love?" |
12958 | But Achilles could be touched only in his heel; and if he was to die by an enemy''s hands, must not the arrow find out that only vulnerable place? |
12958 | But I have no notion of_ mere_ formalities of this kind"--(How unpolite this, my dear, in your friend?) |
12958 | But after a pause, she said,"Well, then, brother, will you let Pamela decide upon this point?" |
12958 | But are we not all apt to argue for a practice we make our own, because we_ do_ make it our own, rather than from the reason of the thing?" |
12958 | But ca n''t we talk of any other subject? |
12958 | But did she not ask you who you were?" |
12958 | But do n''t you observe what a dear good lady I had? |
12958 | But do you think I will call all these things my own?--Do you think I would live rent- free? |
12958 | But does Mr. B. think it must be so in_ every_ matrimony? |
12958 | But hark- ye- me, my sweet girl, what have I done, that you wo n''t write yourself_ sister_ to me? |
12958 | But have you no other objection, if one could find a genteely- descended young Master? |
12958 | But if she has been accustomed to grant him little favours, can she easily recal them? |
12958 | But is such a Narcissus!--But this between ourselves, for his uncle is wrapt up in the fellow-- And why? |
12958 | But pray, Sir, may I ask, what have you determined to do?" |
12958 | But pray, Sir, what is the earl''s living valued at?" |
12958 | But tell me what you would say? |
12958 | But tell me, truly, Pamela, are you not a little sullen? |
12958 | But tell me, what you think of''em?" |
12958 | But this I see plainly, that he will have his own way; and if I can not get over my scruples, what shall I do? |
12958 | But what a preamble is here? |
12958 | But what are the princes of the earth, look at them in every nation, and what they have been for ages past, compared to this lady? |
12958 | But what can I do? |
12958 | But what foolishness is this!--What consideration has he made you?" |
12958 | But what shall we say? |
12958 | But what will become of the naughty boys? |
12958 | But what, pray, Mr. Williams, do you propose to allow to your curate? |
12958 | But where is such a gentleman as Mr. B. to be met with? |
12958 | But who knows, when the time comes, whether it may not be proper to dispense with this duty, as you deem it, on other accounts? |
12958 | But who was your_ first_ informant?--Was that by letter or personally? |
12958 | But will you pardon me, if I ask, whither you go so soon? |
12958 | But wo n''t you oblige me with the sequel of your letter to your father? |
12958 | But you next require of me an instance, where, in complaisance to_ my_ will, he has receded from_ his own?_ I do n''t know what to say to this. |
12958 | But, dear Sir, will you be pleased, to satisfy me about that affecting information, of your intention and my lady''s to live at Tunbridge together?" |
12958 | But, indeed, how should she? |
12958 | But, my dear friend, are you not in danger of falling into a too thoughtful and gloomy way? |
12958 | But, would you believe it, Sir Simon? |
12958 | But-- but--"staring at me,"Are you married, Madam?" |
12958 | Can I have a will that is not his? |
12958 | Can not you defend me from this charge? |
12958 | Can people merit by doing their duty? |
12958 | Can the affections be so highly raised as mine are on these occasions, and the thoughts creep grovelling like one''s ordinary self? |
12958 | Can the gluttonous father expect a self- denying son? |
12958 | Can the profuse father, who is squandering away the fortunes of his children, expect to be regarded in a lesson of frugality? |
12958 | Colbrand?" |
12958 | Could you ever have thought, my dear, that husbands have a dispensing power over their wives, which kings are not allowed over the laws? |
12958 | Did he not look displeased? |
12958 | Did she go my way? |
12958 | Did you intend to carry this matter, at first, as far as ever you could?" |
12958 | Did you not disdain me at that moment?" |
12958 | Did you think that could be? |
12958 | Do n''t you know how much I interest myself in every thing that makes for my brother''s happiness and your''s? |
12958 | Do n''t you remember it, dear Sir? |
12958 | Do n''t you see his delight, when speaking of his former pranks, as if sorry he could not play them over again? |
12958 | Do n''t you think me, my dear, insufferably vain? |
12958 | Do these instances come up to your questions, my dear? |
12958 | Do they come up to your first question? |
12958 | Do you ever hear Miss Goodwin say a naughty word? |
12958 | Do you think I can bear to hear my friend so freely treated?" |
12958 | Do you think I did not look very silly? |
12958 | Do you think they do?--And if you hope to emulate my good fortune, do you think_ this_ is the way?" |
12958 | Do, dear Miss, be so free as to forbid me to send you any more long journals, but common letters only, of how you do? |
12958 | Does any thing provoke you_ now_"( with a sly leer and affected drawl)"that did not_ formerly?_""Provoke me!--What should provoke me? |
12958 | Does any thing provoke you_ now_"( with a sly leer and affected drawl)"that did not_ formerly?_""Provoke me!--What should provoke me? |
12958 | Does he pretend that he will marry you?" |
12958 | Does not God himself, by rewards and punishments, make it our interest, as well as our duty, to obey him? |
12958 | Does not this shew, that her virtue has made her more conspicuous than my fortune has made me? |
12958 | Else how would it have been forgiveness? |
12958 | For he will have me then reveal my intelligencer: and what may be the case between them? |
12958 | For how, when you, and my good ladies, are continually giving me such charming examples, can I do a wrong thing?" |
12958 | For is it not a sad thing, that the church should be profaned by such actions, and such thoughts, as ought not to be brought into it? |
12958 | For must they not have implements to work with? |
12958 | For since such is your will, and seem to be your engagements, what avails it to me to oppose them? |
12958 | For what may not be feared from so early inculcating the use of dice and gaming, upon the minds of children? |
12958 | For when the mind is elevated, ought not the sense we have of our happiness to make our expressions soar equally? |
12958 | For, dear Sir, is there no doubt, that the tutor should lay himself open to the aversion of the child, whose manners he is to form? |
12958 | From two such extremes, how was it possible I could presently hit the medium? |
12958 | Go to, honest heart, I love thee dearly; but can Mr. B. do too much for his lady, think''st thou? |
12958 | H.?" |
12958 | Has not the Countess taken a house or lodgings at Tunbridge?" |
12958 | Hast thou nothing at all to say for thyself?" |
12958 | Have you any notion, that your lady will have so much power over us?" |
12958 | Have you forgot that?" |
12958 | Have you got her mother with you? |
12958 | He gave me a gentle tap on the neck:"Let me beat my beloved sauce- box,"said he:"is it thus you rally my watchful care over you for your own good? |
12958 | He looked at me with sternness,"Do you doubt my honour, Madam?" |
12958 | He says, that he_ must_, and therefore he_ will_ be virtuous: and is a man for ever to hear the faults of his youth, when so willing to forget them?" |
12958 | He smiled, and said,"Would you, my good Miss Darnford, look so silly, after such a length of time, with a husband you need not be ashamed of?" |
12958 | He was pleased to ask me, when they were gone, how I liked his two lawyers? |
12958 | Hold him fast, and play over all thy monkey tricks with him, with all my heart; who knows but it may engage him more? |
12958 | How happy shall we be!--But how long will you be permitted to stay, though? |
12958 | How know you, but he has found a way to your wife''s ear, as he has done to my uncle''s, and to all my friends''? |
12958 | How shall I acknowledge your inexpressible goodness to me? |
12958 | How should_ she_ be able to reflect, who knows not what reflection is, except of the spiteful sort? |
12958 | How will a parent, whose hands are seldom without cards, or dice in them, be observed in lessons against the pernicious vice of gaming? |
12958 | How, in a word, shall_ they_ come by their knowledge? |
12958 | I asked, if I might not be excused writing, only making my observations, here and there, to himself, as I found occasion? |
12958 | I began as follows:"Will you be pleased, Sir, to favour me with the continuation of our last subject?" |
12958 | I believe you did feel the weight of my hand: but what was that? |
12958 | I bowed my head to the Countess; but my tears being ready to start, I kissed my Billy:"Dearest baby,"said I,"you are not going to cry, are you?" |
12958 | I doubt not, you are soon to return to Tunbridge?" |
12958 | I fear you have sprained your foot.--Shall I help you to a chair?" |
12958 | I had them in my pocket, and read them to my lady; who asked me, if her brother had seen them? |
12958 | I hope you have a better opinion of me than--""Than what, Pamela?--What would you say? |
12958 | I hope, niece, he locks up his baby, while you''re here? |
12958 | I looked, it seems, a little grave; and Mr. B. said,"What have you to offer, Pamela?--What have I said amiss?" |
12958 | I might have been_ drawne__ in_ to do strange foolish things, and been ruin''d at the long run; for who knows where this thing mought have ended? |
12958 | I never saw one before though, in Mr. H.--What''s the matter, Sir?" |
12958 | I repeat my demand: shall it be as Mrs. B. lays it out, or not?" |
12958 | I said softly,"Dear Miss Darnford"( for Mr. B. and the Nun were out of sight in a moment),"what is become of that Nun?" |
12958 | I shall never forget your looks, nor your words neither!--they were severe speeches, were they not, Sir?" |
12958 | I took the charmer in my arms, and kissed her three or four times, as she deserved; for was not this very pretty in the child? |
12958 | I''ll-- But who comes here?" |
12958 | If I were as good as I_ ought_ to be, and as some_ think_ me, must they wish to make me bad for that reason?" |
12958 | If my Pamela is safe, the boy is welcome, welcome, indeed!--But when may I go up to thank my jewel?" |
12958 | If the fountain- head be polluted, how shall the under- currents run clear? |
12958 | If this goodness makes him know no mean in giving, shall I be so greedy as to know none in receiving? |
12958 | If this, Sir, be the case, does not this excellent author recommend a scheme that is rendered in a manner impracticable from this difficulty? |
12958 | If you might not be uneasy at our acquaintance, and at his frequent absence from you, and the like? |
12958 | Is it for this? |
12958 | Is it not a proof of weakness? |
12958 | Is it not a random shot? |
12958 | Is it''cause thou''rt affected_ most_ with thy own case? |
12958 | Is it?" |
12958 | Is not such a poor creature to be pitied? |
12958 | Is_ she_ like to do well?" |
12958 | Is_ she_ safe? |
12958 | It has been an expence to you rather, which you will not presently get up: do you propose an early marriage, Sir? |
12958 | Jervis asked me on Saturday evening, if I would be concerned to see a larger congregation in the lesser hall next morning than usual? |
12958 | Jervis?" |
12958 | Jervis?" |
12958 | Jervis?'' |
12958 | LETTER LXIX Why do n''t I subscribe Sister? |
12958 | LETTER LXVIII Why does not my sweet girl subscribe_ Sister_, as usual? |
12958 | LETTER V MY DEAREST DAUGHTER, How shall I do to answer, as they deserve, your two last letters? |
12958 | LETTER X_ From the same._ And so, Pamela, you are solicitous to know, if the gentlemen have seen every part of your papers? |
12958 | Lady Davers keeps me in countenance in this my notion; and who doubts her politeness? |
12958 | Longman?" |
12958 | Lord Davers-- what merit_ would_ you assume? |
12958 | Madam, I could speak any one distinct sentence? |
12958 | Madam--_ought_ I-- if this be the case? |
12958 | Madam.--But where''s my nephew, Lady Davers? |
12958 | May I not know your subject?" |
12958 | May we hope to be favoured now and then with a letter from you, my dear child, like some of your former, to let us know how you go on? |
12958 | Miss Darnford was addressed by the name of the Sprightly Widow: another asked, how long she intended to wear those weeds? |
12958 | Mr. B. asks me how I relish Mr. Locke''s_ Treatise on Education_? |
12958 | Mr. B. coming up just as I had concluded my letter, asked me what was my subject? |
12958 | Mr. B. looked as if he still expected I should say something.--"Won''t you, Sir, dispense with me?" |
12958 | Mr. B. said,"Observe you not, Lady Davers, that you used a word( to avoid that) which had twice the hissing in it that_ sister_ has? |
12958 | Mr. B. said,"Wo n''t it be better to sit over- against her, uncle?" |
12958 | Mr. H. putting his handkerchief to his eyes, his aunt said,"What''s the matter, Jackey?" |
12958 | Mrs. B. reflects upon me for making her blush formerly, and saying things before my daughters, that, truly, I ought to be ashamed of? |
12958 | Must not such a lady as this, dear Madam, have as much merit as many even of those, who, having not had her temptations, have not fallen? |
12958 | My Lady Davers followed us:"Where is my angelic sister?" |
12958 | My Lord Davers sat next me, and Sir Jacob said,"Shall I beg a favour of you, my lord, to let me sit next to Lady Jenny?" |
12958 | My brother was not disturbed at them, was he?" |
12958 | No, to what purpose should I speak? |
12958 | O Mores!_ What will this world come to?" |
12958 | O my dear parents, how can you, as in your_ postscript_, say,"May we not be_ favoured_ now- and- then with a letter?" |
12958 | O when shall I see you? |
12958 | O, my dear, these gentlemen are strange creatures!--What can they think of themselves? |
12958 | Of such a prerogative in a husband? |
12958 | On the contrary, is it not oftener to be found in a happy competency or mediocrity? |
12958 | Or did you intend to induce him to go to town with us?" |
12958 | Or is it, that thy hour is not yet come?" |
12958 | Or is not what I have said, a full answer, were I to say no more, to_ all_ your enquiries? |
12958 | Or were it not better to suspend your intentions of that sort for a year or two more?" |
12958 | Or what words shall be found to embody air? |
12958 | Or would it be excusable if I_ had?_ All little matters I cheerfully give up: great ones have not yet occurred between us, and I hope never will. |
12958 | Or,''Why should Sally have this or that, any more than I?'' |
12958 | Pray, Madam"( to me),"have you ever been at all conversant in such writers?" |
12958 | Pray-- have you shewn Jewkes''s letter to your good friend?--Lady Betty wants to know( if you_ have_) what he could say to it? |
12958 | Put on an angrier brow, or how shall I retain my purpose? |
12958 | See you not,"and I pressed his hand with my lips,"they are all gone already?" |
12958 | Shall I call her in?'' |
12958 | Shall I engage her to visit you? |
12958 | Shall I present you with a curiosity? |
12958 | Shall such a girl as this awe me by her rigid virtue? |
12958 | She asked me, pretty dear, just now, If I think there is such a happy girl in the world as she is? |
12958 | She returned, with an affected laugh,"Smartly said!--But art thou come hither, friend, to make thy light shine before men or women?" |
12958 | She says you can play on the harpsichord, and sing too; will you let a body have a tune or so? |
12958 | Sir, dispense with me on this occasion? |
12958 | Sir, what then was there on_ your_ side, in that matter, that made you give me so patient and so kind a hearing?" |
12958 | Sir, you had rather it were a girl than a boy?" |
12958 | Sir; it is you that part with me: and tell me, Sir, tell me but what you had intended should become of me?" |
12958 | Sir? |
12958 | Sir? |
12958 | Sir?" |
12958 | Sir?" |
12958 | Suppose my dear Mr. B. had five thousand pounds a year added to his present large income, would that increase his happiness? |
12958 | Tell me, how it is possible for me, in my situation, to avoid it?" |
12958 | That is to say, how a young lady ought to guard against and overcome the first favourable impressions?" |
12958 | That it would add to his cares, is no question; but could it give him one single comfort which he has not already? |
12958 | The business is, if Miss Darnford could love him well enough for a husband? |
12958 | The gentlemen laughed:"Is it shooting flying, Sir Jacob,"returned Sir Charles,"to praise that lady?" |
12958 | Then she must make a brighter appearance by far, and a more pleasing one too: for why? |
12958 | Then why this complaining? |
12958 | They are all living, I hope?" |
12958 | They have taken their house, I suppose: but what need they, when they''ll have one in Bedfordshire, and one in Lincolnshire? |
12958 | This frighted them both: Mr. H. swore, and said,"Who can that be?--Your lady''s gone with them, is n''t she?" |
12958 | This is it: I put it in my bosom, when he came up: he saw me do so:"Are you writing, my dear, what I must not see?" |
12958 | Thou married to a lord, and thy brother to a-- Can''st tell me what, Barbara? |
12958 | Thus( could your ladyship have thought it?) |
12958 | To whom were you directing your favours now? |
12958 | Towers,"may one ask, what particular subject was at this time your employment?" |
12958 | Towers,"whenever you censure any indiscretion, you seldom fail to give cautions how to avoid it; and pray let us know what is to be done in this case? |
12958 | Upon which my lady said, a little tartly,"Yes, and for a very good reason, I doubt not; for who cares to condemn himself?" |
12958 | Was the lady a woman of taste?" |
12958 | We being alone, after supper, I took the liberty to ask him, who was of his party to Oxford? |
12958 | Well, but what shall I say more? |
12958 | What a plague has this little witch done to you all? |
12958 | What ails you, Pamela?" |
12958 | What are they, my lord?" |
12958 | What can one do?--Did you ever hear of such a notion, before? |
12958 | What can one say to all things? |
12958 | What can two such ladies write, that I may not see?" |
12958 | What do you see of freedom in me?" |
12958 | What have I said now?" |
12958 | What made me such a fool, I wonder? |
12958 | What means that heaving sob? |
12958 | What new thing shall I have?" |
12958 | What occasion is there for it? |
12958 | What say you to these things, my dear? |
12958 | What think you, Mr. B.? |
12958 | What vexes me is, that when the noble uncle of this vile lady--(why do n''t you call her so as well as I?) |
12958 | What would I not do, in short, to procure to myself the inexpressible pleasure that I should have in your company and conversation? |
12958 | What would_ you_ advise, my dear?" |
12958 | What, I say, had I to do, to take upon me lady- airs, and to resent? |
12958 | What, I warrant, you would not be too much beholden to his honour, would you?" |
12958 | What, and make you cry''_ Fie!_''-or do you intend to trust your honour to his mercy, rather than to your own discretion?" |
12958 | What, indeed, does not such a deceiver deserve?" |
12958 | What, may I ask, came next? |
12958 | What_ can_ I say for Polly Barlow? |
12958 | What_ means my_ Pamela? |
12958 | When Mr. B. is all tenderness and indulgence, and requires of me nothing, that I can have a material objection to, ought I_ not_ to oblige him? |
12958 | Where have you been these two hours, that you never came near me, when you knew''twas my time to have my foot rubbed, which gives me mortal pain?" |
12958 | Which side are you of?" |
12958 | Who knows but we may find out some cousin or friend of Mr. Murray''s between us, that we may persuade to address you? |
12958 | Who''s housekeeper now? |
12958 | Who, that knows these things of him, would wish him to be hers, with all his advantages of person, mind, and fortune?" |
12958 | Why should I thus sadden all your gaudy prospects? |
12958 | Why starts this precious pearl?" |
12958 | Why tarry the wheels of his chariot?" |
12958 | Why the plague,"whispered he,"could you not have pitched your tent here? |
12958 | Why the word_ foolish_, aunt? |
12958 | Why then all this emotion?" |
12958 | Why, she is not to sit at table, is she? |
12958 | Will ladies game, Madam? |
12958 | Will my dear papa grant it, do you think, if you were to lay the highest obligation upon your dutiful daughter, and petition for me? |
12958 | Will that please you, Sir?" |
12958 | Will this instance, my dear, come up to your demand for one, where he recedes from his own will, in complaisance to mine? |
12958 | Will you excuse me, my dear, all this seeming vanity, for the sake of repeating exactly what passed? |
12958 | Will you excuse me, my dear? |
12958 | With how ill a grace must a man who will often be disguised in liquor, preach sobriety? |
12958 | Wo n''t it look like intolerable vanity in me, to find fault with such a genius as Mr. Locke? |
12958 | Wo n''t there be a fine twinkling and sparkling, think you, when the greater and lesser bear- stars are joined together? |
12958 | Would Miss Goodwin, think you, have done so or so?" |
12958 | Would he not have thought the humble cottager as capable of insolence, and vengeance too, in her turn, as the better born? |
12958 | Would it not be inevitable ruin to her to leave me? |
12958 | Would not his honour think if I hid one thing from him, I might hide another? |
12958 | Would you care to subscribe to it? |
12958 | Writing, I dare say? |
12958 | Yet what could he have done? |
12958 | Yet, how much better is it to suffer one''s self, than to be the cause of another''s sufferings? |
12958 | You are to suppose the living in your own hands again; will you leave the whole matter to my_ sister_ here?" |
12958 | You desire to know, my honoured papa, how Mr. B. passes his time, and whether it be in his lady''s chamber? |
12958 | You do n''t keep her company, do you?" |
12958 | You have had instances of the vile arts of men against poor maidens: have you any notion that Mr. H. intends to do honourably by you?" |
12958 | You''re the Countess of C.''s youngest daughter Jenny-- That''s your cue."--"Ah? |
12958 | _ Am_ I mistaken?" |
12958 | _ Common decency_, did you say? |
12958 | a passionate man, patience? |
12958 | added he:"Have you not a son worthy of such an alliance?" |
12958 | an irreligious man, piety? |
12958 | and that she wanted but the power, to shew the like unrelenting temper, by which she had so grievously suffered? |
12958 | and where the pleasure each seemed to take in the other''s, might possibly end? |
12958 | and whether you expected an answer from me to your last? |
12958 | and why that hesitation in your answer? |
12958 | as you do, what ails Mrs. Jervis? |
12958 | but tell me, who will part with their child, think you? |
12958 | coming to me, and folding me in his arms over the chair''s back, the seat of which supported my trembling knees,"Can you so easily part with me?" |
12958 | did I betray any impatience of speech or action, or any discomposure? |
12958 | fear you not an instant punishment for this appeal? |
12958 | goes?" |
12958 | hadst thou been born a fool, or a raw greenhead, or a doating greyhead--"--"What then, Sir Jacob?" |
12958 | how can you speak such a word? |
12958 | let it take its course!--How barbarously, methinks, I speak!--He ought to_ feel_ the lash, first, because he_ deserves_ it, poor little soul? |
12958 | might I not well be grave, knowing what I knew?) |
12958 | my dear lady, what could I do? |
12958 | my dear,"said I;"what is beauty, if she be not a good girl? |
12958 | my dear,"said he,"no papa and mamma!--Did they not send you a pretty black boy to wait upon you, a while ago? |
12958 | or do they not? |
12958 | rob me of heaven too? |
12958 | said I;"and is it thus, by_ repeating_ your fault, that you_ atone_ for it? |
12958 | said he, and stamped--"Who can choose but bless you? |
12958 | said he:"I hope you and she have had no words?" |
12958 | said she,''whither can she go, to be so happy as with me? |
12958 | said she:"how could you help it? |
12958 | said the silly girl--"yet that was like her voice!--Me''m, are you in your closet, Me''m?" |
12958 | that I should have been what I am?" |
12958 | we condemn every man who dresses well, and is not a sloven, as a fop or a coxcomb?" |
12958 | what wilt thou do? |
12958 | whistled he, with a wild stare:"and how is it with you, youngster?" |
12958 | who is she?" |
