offices of State。

  Y。 Soc。 How do you mean?

  Str。 Where one officer only is needed; you must choose a ruler who

has both these qualities…when many; you must mingle some of each;

for the temperate ruler is very careful and just and safe; but is

wanting in thoroughness and go。

  Y。 Soc。 Certainly; that is very true。

  Str。 The character of the courageous; on the other hand; 

falls short

of the former in justice and caution; but has the power of 

action in a

remarkable degree; and where either of these two qualities

private life。

  Y。 Soc。 Certainly they cannot。

  Str。 This then we declare to be the completion of the web of

political Action; which is created by a direct intertexture of the

brave and temperate natures; whenever the royal science has drawn

the two minds into communion with one another by unanimity and

friendship; and having perfected the noblest and best of all the

webs which political life admits; and enfolding therein all other

inhabitants of cities; whether slaves or freemen; binds them in one

fabric and governs and presides over them; and; in so far as to be

happy is vouchsafed to a city; in no particular fails to secure

their happiness。
