in war preserves one’s country from the barbarians, or at home
defends the weak, or comrades from robbers, is full of justice; and to

to what is right, belongs to justice. In all these, too,
large-heartedness is necessary, and fortitude of mind, and often of
body, so that we may carry out what we wish.
