<strong>LAWS</strong>, BOOK V<strong>II</strong><br />
ATH. When a man is peevish and not cheerful at<br />
all, do you not regard him as a doleful person and<br />
more full, as a<br />
ought to be ?<br />
rule, of complaints than a good man<br />
CLIN. 1 certainly regard him as such.<br />
ATH. Well then, suppose one should try to secure<br />
<strong>by</strong> every available means that our nursling should<br />
experience the least possible amount of grief or fear or<br />
pain of any kind, may we not believe that <strong>by</strong> this<br />
means the soul of the nursling would be rendered<br />
more bright and cheerful ?<br />
CLIN. Plainly it would. Stranger ; and most of all<br />

ATH. There, my good sir, I must part company<br />
with Clinias. For in our eyes such a proceeding is<br />
the worst possible fonu of corruption, for it occurs in<br />
every instance at the very beginning of the child's<br />
nurture."^ But let us consider whether I am right.<br />
CLIN. Explain your view.<br />
ATH. I believe that the issue before us is one of<br />
extreme importance. You also, Megillus, consider<br />

judgment. What I maintain is this : that the right<br />
life ought neither to pursue pleasures nor to shun<br />
pains entirely ; but it ought to embrace that middle<br />
state of cheerfulness (as I termed it a moment ago),<br />
which—as we all rightly suppose, on the strength<br />
of an inspired utterance—is the very condition of<br />
God himself And I maintain that whosoever of us<br />
would be godlike must pursue this state of soul,<br />
neither becoming himself prone at all to pleasures,<br />
even as he will not be devoid of pain, not allowing<br />
