Stranica 309 - Be there, for once and all, severed great minds from small, Announced to each his station in the Past ! Was I the world arraigned, were they my soul disdained, Right?
Stranica 33 - For we are lovers of the beautiful, yet simple in our tastes, and we cultivate the mind without loss of manliness.

Stranica 32 - And we have not forgotten to provide for our weary spirits many relaxations from toil; we have regular games and sacrifices throughout the year; at home the style of our life is refined; and the delight which we daily feel in all these things helps to banish melancholy.

Stranica 22 - Thus the state is by nature clearly prior to the family and to the individual, since the whole is of necessity prior to the part; for example, if the whole body be destroyed, there will be no foot or hand.
Stranica 25 - ... of rich men and the like, which are said to arise out of the possession of private property. These evils, however, are due to a very different cause —the wickedness of human nature. Indeed, we see that there is much more quarrelling among those who have all things in common, though there are not many of them when compared with the vast numbers who have private property.
Stranica 12 - Homer and Hesiod have ascribed to the gods all things that are a shame and a disgrace among mortals, stealings and adulteries and deceivings of one another.
