about Phi Theta Kappa, please feel free to contact Gordy. Now I,
Callicles, am persuaded of the truth of these things, and I consider how I
shall present my soul whole and undefiled before the judge in that day.
Renouncing the honours at which the world aims, I desire only to know the
truth, and to live as well as I can, and, when I die, to die as well as I
can. And, to the utmost of my power, I exhort all others to do the same….
And of all that has been said, nothing remains unshaken but the saying, that
to do injustice is more to be avoided than to suffer injustice, and that the
reality and not the appearance of virtue is to be followed above all things,
as well in public as in private life; and that when any one has been wrong
in anything, he is to be chastised, and that the next best thing to a person
being just is that they should become just; also that they should avoid all
flattery of themselves as well as others…
Follow me then, and I will lead you where you will be happy in life and
after death, as the argument shows. And never mind if some one despises you
as a fool, and insults you if they have a mind to; let them strike you, by
Zeus, and do you be of good cheer, and do not mind the insulting blow, for
you will never come to any harm in the practice of virtue, if you are a
really good and true human being.
Plato, The Gorgias
