his evil reputation。 What is left him but to lead a life stale and unprofitable�察�
the scorn and mockery of men�拭�Let us try another case。 Suppose a man
wished to be thought a good general or a good pilot�察�though he were really
nothing of the sort�察�let us picture to our minds how it will fare with him。
Of two misfortunes one�此 �either with a strong desire to be thought
proficient in these matters�察 �he will fail to get others to agree with him�察�
which will be bad enough�察�or he will succeed�察�with worse result�察�since it
stands to reason that anyone appointed to work a vessel or lead an army
without the requisite knowledge will speedily ruin a number of people
whom he least desires to hurt�察 �and will make but a sorry exit from the
stage himself。; Thus first by one instance and then another would he
demonstrate the unprofitableness of trying to appear rich�察�or courageous�察�
or strong�察�without really being the thing pretended。 ;You are sure sooner
or later to have commands laid upon you beyond your power to execute�察�
and failing just where you are credited with capacity�察�the world will give
you no commiseration。; ;I call that man a cheat�察�and a great cheat too�察─�he
would say�察 �who gets money or goods out of some one by persuasion�察�and
defrauds him�察�but of all imposters he surely is the biggest who can delude
people into thinking that he is fit to lead the state�察�when all the while he is
a worthless creature。;��4�А�

Now�察 �if the effect of such discourses was�察 �as I imagine�察 �to deter his
hearers from the paths of quackery and false´seeming�撮�1�А�so I am sure that
language like the following was calculated to stimulate his followers to
practise self´control and endurance�此�self´control in the matters of eating�察�
drinking�察 �sleeping�察 �and the cravings of lust�察 �endurance of cold and heat
and toil and pain。 He had noticed the undue licence which one of his
acquaintances allowed himself in all such matters。��2�А�Accordingly he thus
addressed him�此�

Tell me�察�Aristippus ��Socrates said���察 �supposing you had two children
entrusted to you to educate�察 �one of them must be brought up with an
aptitude for government�察�and the other without the faintest propensity to
rulehow would you educate them�拭�What do you say�拭�Shall we begin our
inquiry from the beginning�察�as it were�察�with the bare elements of food and
nutriment�拭�
Ar。 Yes�察 �food to begin with�察 �by all means�察 �being a first principle�撮�3�А�
without which there is no man living but would perish。
��3�А�Aristippus plays upon the word ��arkhe��。
Soc。 Well�察 �then�察 �we may expect�察 �may we not�察 �that a desire to grasp
food at certain seasons will exhibit itself in both the children�拭�
Ar。 It is to be expected。
Soc。 Which�察�then�察�of the two must be trained�察�of his own free will�撮�4�А�
to prosecute a pressing business rather than gratify the belly�拭�

Soc。 And the same pupil must be furnished with a power of holding
out against thirst also when the craving to quench it comes upon him�拭�
Ar。 Certainly he must。
Soc。 And on which of the two shall we confer such self´control in
regard to sleep as shall enable him to rest late and rise early�察�or keep vigil�察�
if the need arise�拭�
Ar。 To the same one of the two must be given that endurance also。
Soc。 Well�察�and a continence in regard to matters sexual so great that
nothing of the sort shall prevent him from doing his duty�拭�Which of them
claims that�拭�
Ar。 The same one of the pair again。
Soc。 Well�察�and on which of the two shall be bestowed�察�as a further gift�察�
the voluntary resolution to face toils rather than turn and flee from them�拭�
Ar。 This�察 �too�察 �belongs of right to him who is being trained for
government。
Soc。 Well�察�and to which of them will it better accord to be taught all
knowledge necessary towards the mastery of antagonists�拭�
Ar。 To our future ruler certainly�察�for without these parts of learning all
his other capacities will be merely waste。
Soc。 ��6��Will not a man so educated be less liable to be entrapped by
rival powers�察 �and so escape a common fate of living creatures�察 �some of
which ��as we all know�� are hooked through their own greediness�察 �and
often even in spite of a native shyness�察�but through appetite for food they
are drawn towards the bait�察 �and are caught�察 �while others are similarly
ensnared by drink�拭�

Aristippus assented。
Soc。 And would it not seem to be a base thing for a man to be affected
like the silliest bird or beast�拭�as when the adulterer invades the innermost
sanctum��7�А�of the house�察�though he is well aware of the risks which his
crime involves�撮�8�А�the formidable penalties of the law�察�the danger of being
caught in the toils�察�and then suffering the direst contumely。 Considering all
the hideous penalties which hang over the adulterer's head�察 �considering
also the many means at hand to release him from the thraldom of his
passion�察 �that a man should so drive headlong on to the quicksands of

behave must surely be tormented by an evil spirit�殖�10�А�
