The Republic - Plato ยท 64 words
Two virtues remain; temperance and justice. More than the preceding virtues temperance suggests the idea of harmony. Some light is thrown upon the nature of this virtue by the popular description of a man as master of himself which has an absurd sound, because the master is also the servant. The expression really means that the better principle in a man masters the worse.
