But when a man besides taking away the money of the citizens has

made slaves of them, then, instead of these names of reproach, he

is termed happy and blessed, not only by the citizens but by all

who hear of his having achieved the consummation of injustice.

For mankind censure injustice, fearing that they may be the

victims of it and not because they shrink from committing it. And

thus, as I have shown, Socrates, injustice, when on a sufficient

scale, has more strength and freedom and mastery than justice;

and, as I said at first, justice is the interest of the stronger,

whereas injustice is a man's own profit and interest.
