Dialogue

 1  Gorg|             claiming precedence and saying that her own good is superior
 2  Gorg|            mistress, Philosophy, is saying to him, who unlike his other
 3  Gorg|          more seed? ‘You are always saying the same things, Socrates.’
 4  Gorg|     subjects too; but you are never saying the same things. For, first,
 5  Gorg|       Callicles on his frankness in saying what other men only think.
 6  Gorg|              and Polus was right in saying that to do wrong is worse
 7  Gorg|            and Gorgias was right in saying that the rhetorician must
 8  Gorg|       defenceless condition, and in saying that I might be accused
 9  Gorg|          some truth in what you are saying, but I do not entirely believe
10  Gorg|           And therefore there is no saying what his fate may be. ‘And
11  Gorg| irresistible power. ‘Herein is that saying true, One soweth and another
12  Gorg|          his exhibition, for he was saying only just now, that any
13  Gorg|           friend Callicles right in saying that you undertake to answer
14  Gorg|            right, Chaerephon: I was saying as much only just now; and
15  Gorg|         therefore I am justified in saying that rhetoric treats of
16  Gorg|       assemblies, as I was just now saying, and about the just and
17  Gorg|           confute you, but as I was saying that the argument may proceed
18  Gorg|            feeling that you are now saying what is not quite consistent
19  Gorg|        accordant with what you were saying at first about rhetoric.
20  Gorg|        Quite so.~SOCRATES: You were saying, in fact, that the rhetorician
21  Gorg|            of rhetoric, as you were saying that you would.~GORGIAS:
22  Gorg|       SOCRATES: But do you remember saying just now that the trainer
23  Gorg|          the time, when I heard you saying so, that rhetoric, which
24  Gorg|            believe what you are now saying about rhetoric? What! because
25  Gorg|              SOCRATES: What are you saying, Polus? Why do you ask me
26  Gorg|           from what he was just now saying, nothing appeared of what
27  Gorg|           you understand what I was saying before.~GORGIAS: Indeed,
28  Gorg|      explain to me what you mean by saying that rhetoric is the counterfeit
29  Gorg|           states, as I was just now saying; for they do literally nothing
30  Gorg|       SOCRATES: Then I was right in saying that a man may do what seems
31  Gorg|         envied.~POLUS: Were you not saying just now that he is wretched?~
32  Gorg|            word which you have been saying.~POLUS: That is because
33  Gorg|      between us—are they not? I was saying that to do is worse than
34  Gorg|       company now; but if, as I was saying, you have no better argument
35  Gorg|              Socrates, what you are saying appears very strange, though
36  Gorg|        denies anything that you are saying in the assembly, you go
37  Gorg|        honest, that you cannot help saying what your loves say unless
38  Gorg|           and either show, as I was saying, that to do injustice and
39  Gorg|             sound of the voice, and saying to them, that with equality
40  Gorg|             Socrates; for, as I was saying, such a one, even though
41  Gorg|             Yes; that is what I was saying, and so I still aver.~SOCRATES:
42  Gorg|          not make out what you were saying at the time—whether you
43  Gorg|           against whom, as you were saying, they make the laws?~CALLICLES:
44  Gorg|             far better, as you were saying?~CALLICLES: Yes.~SOCRATES:
45  Gorg|         opinion, as you were lately saying, that justice is equality,
46  Gorg|         whose aid you were just now saying many ironical things against
47  Gorg|             reproach me with always saying the same; but I reproach
48  Gorg|             reproach you with never saying the same about the same
49  Gorg|    Euripides may have been right in saying,~‘Who knows if life be not
50  Gorg|             this, as I was just now saying, is the life of a stone:
51  Gorg|     seriously maintain what you are saying?~CALLICLES: Indeed I do.~
52  Gorg|          SOCRATES: And were you not saying just now, that some courage
53  Gorg|             understand what you are saying.~GORGIAS: Nay, Callicles,
54  Gorg|      cowards good men? For you were saying just now that the courageous
55  Gorg|             and pained, as you were saying, in nearly equal degree;
56  Gorg|            Why, do you not remember saying that the good were good
57  Gorg|             were a child, sometimes saying one thing, and then another,
58  Gorg|           will you agree with us in saying, that the good is the end
59  Gorg|            remind you of what I was saying to Gorgias and Polus; I
60  Gorg|            Gorgias and Polus; I was saying, as you will not have forgotten,
61  Gorg|            I have proved what I was saying, and then whether there
62  Gorg|         heed a word of what you are saying, and have only answered
63  Gorg|          any knowledge of what I am saying; I am an enquirer like yourselves,
64  Gorg|             ears, which was a brave saying of yours; or take away my
65  Gorg|             still, and if what I am saying is true, and injustice is
66  Gorg|            saved, as I was just now saying, the passenger and his wife
67  Gorg|           will do you the favour of saying ‘yes.’~SOCRATES: And will
68  Gorg|            also do me the favour of saying whether man is an animal?~
69  Gorg|            a great inconsistency in saying that you have made a man
70  Gorg|           the rhetorician, as I was saying to Polus, are the same,
71  Gorg|     SOCRATES: If they were right in saying that they make men better,
72  Gorg|             one were to accuse him, saying, ‘O my boys, many evil things
73  Gorg|           And therefore there is no saying what may happen to me.~CALLICLES:
74  Gorg|            bad, my friend.~As I was saying, Rhadamanthus, when he gets
75  Gorg|            remains unshaken but the saying, that to do injustice is
