Dialogue

 1 Euthyd|        good nor evil: and if we say further that it makes us
 2 Euthyd|          but only in itself: or say again that it makes us good,
 3 Euthyd|   equally careless of what they say to others and of what is
 4 Euthyd|        in their hands; for they say that in a short time they
 5 Euthyd|        I covet, quite, as I may say, in old age; last year,
 6 Euthyd|        shall hear; for I cannot say that I did not attend—I
 7 Euthyd|      entered, who, as you truly say, is very much improved:
 8 Euthyd|       is injured.~They heard me say this, but only despised
 9 Euthyd|        in armour; and I used to say as much of you, for I remember
10 Euthyd|    their mode of speech: this I say because you may not understand
11 Euthyd|        serious, and therefore I say that the gentlemen are not
12 Euthyd|    answered; for every one will say that wealth is a good.~Certainly,
13 Euthyd|      there? I said. What do you say of temperance, justice,
14 Euthyd|    about this. What then do you say?~They are goods, said Cleinias.~
15 Euthyd|       the strangers.~Why do you say so?~Why, because we have
16 Euthyd|        am delighted to hear you say so; and I am also grateful
17 Euthyd|         and the rest of you who say that you want this young
18 Euthyd|       Well, said he, and so you say that you wish Cleinias to
19 Euthyd|   modesty will not allow him to say that he is.~You wish him,
20 Euthyd|         would allow me I should say, A plague upon you! What
21 Euthyd|   Ctesippus; I should be mad to say anything else.~And in telling
22 Euthyd|    Dionysodorus, do you mean to say that any one speaks of things
23 Euthyd|      evil?~He assented.~And you say that gentlemen speak of
24 Euthyd| persuade you not like a boor to say in my presence that I desire
25 Euthyd|    describe another thing, or I say something and you say nothing—
26 Euthyd|         I say something and you say nothing—is there any contradiction?
27 Euthyd|    falsehood; a man must either say what is true or say nothing.
28 Euthyd|      either say what is true or say nothing. Is not that your
29 Euthyd|        I refute you, if, as you say, to tell a falsehood is
30 Euthyd|     replied, they mean what you say. And now answer.~What, before
31 Euthyd|        which is alive?~I cannot say that I do.~Then why did
32 Euthyd|       have a sense;—what do you say, wise man? If I was not
33 Euthyd|         make us happy?~I should say, no, rejoined Cleinias.~
34 Euthyd|    Cleinias.~And why should you say so? I asked.~I see, he replied,
35 Euthyd|      contained in them)—they, I say, not being able to use but
36 Euthyd|     Indeed, I am; for if he did say so, then in my opinion he
37 Euthyd|         or Dionysodorus. I dare say, my good Crito, that they
38 Euthyd|       And would not you, Crito, say the same?~CRITO: Yes, I
39 Euthyd|    SOCRATES: And what would you say that the kingly art does?
40 Euthyd|  question about that, you would say—it produces health?~CRITO:
41 Euthyd|         to do with it? Shall we say, Crito, that it is the knowledge
42 Euthyd|  Certainly not.~And did you not say that you knew something?~
43 Euthyd|        A pretty clatter, as men say, Euthydemus, this of yours!
44 Euthyd|         seeking? Do you mean to say that the same thing cannot
45 Euthyd|         did you think we should say No to that?~By Zeus, said
46 Euthyd|    refused, and they would only say in answer to each of his
47 Euthyd|         and therefore do as you say; ask your questions once
48 Euthyd|    known all things, that is to say, when you were a child,
49 Euthyd|     prodigious wisdom—how can I say that I know such things,
50 Euthyd|        He is the same.~I cannot say that I like the connection;
51 Euthyd|        from you, Ctesippus. You say that you have a dog.~Yes,
52 Euthyd|    rather than unarmed.~Good, I say. And yet I know that I am
53 Euthyd|          Euthydemus, that is to say, if he who drinks is as
54 Euthyd|        be possible to speak and say nothing—you are doing so.~
55 Euthyd|        of which is that, as you say, every mouth is sewn up,
56 Euthyd|        them with me, since they say that they are able to teach
57 Euthyd|      men who care not what they say, and fasten upon every word.
58 Euthyd|         but what was I going to say? First of all let me know;—
59 Euthyd|       been into court; but they say that he knows the business,
60 Euthyd|    there is reason in what they say, for they argue that they
61 Euthyd|      wisdom.~CRITO: What do you say of them, Socrates? There
62 Euthyd|       be any truth in what they say. I do not think that they
