الصفحة 126 - What would not a man give if he might converse with Orpheus and Musaeus and Hesiod and Homer? Nay, if this be true, let me die again and again.
الصفحة 125 - Let us reflect in another way, and we shall see that there is great reason to hope that death is a good, for one of two things: either death is a state of nothingness and utter unconsciousness, or as men -say, there is a change and migration of the soul from this world to another.
الصفحة 126 - I say that to die is gain; for eternity is then only a single night. But if death is .the journey to another place, and there, as men say, all the dead abide, what good, O my friends and judges, can be greater than this?
الصفحة 127 - Wherefore, O judges, be of good cheer about death, and know this of a truth — that no evil can happen to a good man, either in life or after death.

To hear each voice we fear'd to hear no more ! Behold each mighty shade reveal'd to sight, The Bactrian, Samian sage, and all who taught the right ! IX.
الصفحة 126 - I say that to die is gain ; for eternity is then only a single night. But if death is the journey to another place, and there, as men say, all the ; dead are, what good, O my friends
الصفحة 125 - ... either death is a state of nothingness and utter unconsciousness, or, as men say, there is a change and migration of the soul from this world to another. Now if you suppose that there is no consciousness, but a sleep like the sleep of him who is undisturbed even by dreams, death will be an unspeakable gain.
الصفحة 126 - What would not a man give, O judges, to be able to examine the leader of the great Trojan expedition ; or Odysseus or Sisyphus, or numberless others, men and women too ! What infinite delight would there be in conversing...
