Dialogue

 1 Lache|      the two generals what they think of this exhibition, and
 2 Lache|       with ridicule, seeming to think that this, or any other
 3 Lache|       go with us and see him. I think that we may as well confess
 4 Lache|    asked will not say what they think. They guess at the wishes
 5 Lache|       will say exactly what you think, we have taken you into
 6 Lache|         tedious, how we came to think of this. Melesias and I
 7 Lache|       and not so experienced, I think that I ought certainly to
 8 Lache|       it? I say this, because I think that if it had been really
 9 Lache|      best teachers?~MELESIAS: I think that we should.~SOCRATES:
10 Lache|  meaning plainer then. I do not think that we have as yet decided
11 Lache| conversation, Lysimachus. And I think that there is no harm in
12 Lache|       as he lives, and will not think that old age of itself brings

22 Lache|        be courageous.~NICIAS: I think not.~SOCRATES: Clearly not,

27 Lache|      perceive, Laches, that you think nothing of having displayed
28 Lache|         help of Damon, whom you think to laugh down, although
29 Lache|      satisfaction to you, for I think that you are very much in
30 Lache|         to another? I certainly think that no one should; and
