  1 1 |           My good sir, what do you mean?)—~Cleinias. ... Moreover,
  2 1 |           the state?~Cleinias. You mean that in each of them there
  3 1 |            I suppose that you must mean foreign war, if I am to
  4 1 |      matters.~Megillus. How do you mean?~Athenian. All those who
  5 1 |          an illustration of what I mean:—You may suppose a person
  6 1 |       wrong.~Cleinias. What do you mean, Stranger, by this remark?
  7 1 |      established.~Athenian. If you mean to ask what great good accrues
  8 1 |       intelligence and justice, is mean and illiberal, and is not

 10 2 |        clearly understand what you mean to say about them.~Athenian.
 11 2 |          of old men, if you really mean that those who are above
 12 2 |          is truthfully executed? I mean, for example, whether a
 13 3 |        evil?~Cleinias. What do you mean?~Athenian. I mean that he
 14 3 |           do you mean?~Athenian. I mean that he might watch them
 15 3 |      observe about it?~Athenian. I mean to say that those who then
 16 3 |       Cleinias. I suppose that you mean Epimenides.~Athenian. The
 17 3 |      virtue?~Cleinias. What do you mean?~Athenian. Why, my good
 18 3 |        badly?~Megillus. How do you mean; and why do you blame them?~
 19 3 |         referring, and what do you mean?~Athenian. I was thinking
 20 3 |          is young and foolish, you mean?~Athenian. Yes; or when
 21 3 |      Megillus. I understand you to mean that a man should not desire
 22 3 |           leader of all the rest—I mean wisdom and mind and opinion,
 23 3 |        ours.~Megillus. What do you mean?~Athenian. Any one who looks
 24 3 |           and does not observe the mean, everything is overthrown,
 25 3 |          is the child of excess. I mean to say, my dear friends,
 26 3 |           legislators who know the mean should take heed of the
 27 3 |            of the state which is a mean between slavery and freedom.
 28 3 |  temperance.~Megillus. What do you mean, Stranger?~Athenian. I suppose
 29 3 |         Megillus. What laws do you mean?~Athenian. In the first
 30 3 |          the right form: we took a mean in both cases, of despotism
 31 3 |        other, and we saw that in a mean they attained their perfection;
 32 4 |        will this city be? I do not mean to ask what is or will hereafter
 33 4 |       Crete in that.~Athenian. You mean to say that there is more
 34 4 |          the number.~Cleinias. You mean to say, I suppose, that
 35 4 |       meaning?~Athenian. Not so; I mean rather to say that the change
 36 4 |    speaking.~Cleinias. What do you mean?~Athenian. I mean that you
 37 4 |           do you mean?~Athenian. I mean that you might see how,
 38 4 |  supposition.~Cleinias. How do you mean?~Athenian. Let us try to
 39 4 |         Cleinias. Tell us what you mean a little more clearly. Do
 40 4 |        little more clearly. Do you mean some form of democracy,
 41 4 |             Cleinias. Which do you mean?~Athenian. Those which we
 42 4 |          niggardly, the third is a mean; and you choose and approve
 43 4 |          gentlest remedies. What I mean to say is, that besides
 44 4 |      Athenian. I understand you to mean that we have made a sufficient
 45 5 |       whatever she may like. But I mean to say that in acting thus
 46 5 |           their opposites; but the mean states of all these habits
 47 5 |      himself and never correcting; mean, what is expressed in the
 48 5 |        which we all of us desire—I mean in having a greater amount
 49 5 |          speak of riches. For they mean by “the rich” the few who
 50 5 |            of which riches exist—I mean, soul and body, which without
 51 6 |         has been described is in a mean between monarchy and democracy,
 52 6 |          and democracy, and such a mean the state ought always to
 53 6 |           of going to the right, I mean that they are to go to the
 54 6 |        singing, and of imitation—I mean of rhapsodists, players
 55 6 |            off well.~Cleinias. You mean, I suppose, their serious
 56 6 |       insolent, and husbands to be mean and subservient to them
 57 6 |     understand, Stranger, what you mean.~Athenian. I am not surprised,
 58 6 |        account of their weakness—I mean the female sex—has been
 59 6 |         law.~Cleinias. What do you mean?~Athenian. The bride and
 60 7 |      unborn.~Cleinias. What do you mean, my good sir? In the process
 61 7 |             And, to express what I mean in a word, there is a good
 62 7 |         savage servitude makes men mean and abject, and haters of
 63 7 |         ought to pursue after this mean habit—he should not rush
 64 7 |          evil to be?~Cleinias. You mean the evil of blaming antiquity
 65 7 |         you referring?~Athenian. I mean that any young man, and
 66 7 |           Muse—not however that we mean wholly to exclude pleasure,
 67 7 |            doing so. But what do I mean? Some one may ask this very
 68 7 |          which will be no cheap or mean employment, and in the duty
 69 7 |        they will observe a sort of mean, not participating in the
 70 7 |        That is quite true; and you mean to imply, that the road
 71 7 |          what respect?~Cleinias. I mean to what pattern should he
 72 7 |            well as in word what we mean; when word and action combine,
 73 7 |     ignoble figures, imitating the mean; and of both these there
 74 7 |           kind of ignorance do you mean?~Athenian. O my dear Cleinias,
 75 7 |            Say, Stranger, what you mean.~Athenian. I will; or rather
 76 7 |       truth.~Cleinias. What do you mean?~Athenian. Perhaps what
 77 8 | unfortunate.~Cleinias. What do you mean?~Athenian. Must not they
 78 8 |  difficulty.~Megillus. What do you mean?~Athenian. We are all aware
 79 8 |        will.~Megillus. When do you mean?~Athenian. When any one
 80 8 |    unequals.~Cleinias. What do you mean?~Athenian. I mean that the
 81 8 |           do you mean?~Athenian. I mean that the earth of necessity
 82 9 |    disagree?~Cleinias. What do you mean?~Athenian. A thing not difficult
 83 9 |          without ambiguity, what I mean by the just and unjust,
 84 9 |          be justly said to be in a mean between the voluntary and
 85 9 |           among mass of mankind: I mean where the power of wealth
 86 9 |          is his own best friend? I mean the suicide, who deprives
 87 10|      wisdom.~Cleinias. What do you mean?~Athenian. At Athens there
 88 10|         not in many; the notion, I mean, that the Gods exist, but
 89 10|     Cleinias. What doctrine do you mean?~Athenian. The wisest of
 90 10|         true.~Cleinias. How do you mean?~Athenian. In the first
 91 10|     Because those who use the term mean to say that nature is the
 92 10|            a very fair proposal? I mean to say that the argument
 93 10|         more places than one?” You mean to say, we shall rejoin,
 94 10|          places, you seem to me to mean those which move from one
 95 10|          us.~Cleinias. What do you mean?~Athenian. I mean this:
 96 10|           do you mean?~Athenian. I mean this: when one thing changes
 97 10|         describe it?~Cleinias. You mean to ask whether we should
 98 10|      things?~Cleinias. What do you mean?~Athenian. I mean that we
 99 10|           do you mean?~Athenian. I mean that we know the essence,
100 10|            I may illustrate what I mean in this way.~Cleinias. How?~
101 10|        Cleinias. True.~Athenian. I mean, that when we are asked
102 10|         move itself?~Cleinias. You mean to say that the essence
103 10|     ourselves darkness at midday—I mean as if we were under the
104 10|        only.~Cleinias. What do you mean?~Athenian. Let us select
105 10|        mind.~Cleinias. What do you mean?~Athenian. In saying that
106 10|          in the next place what we mean by this virtue which we
107 10|             do I understand you to mean that they are careless because
108 10|  difficulty.~Cleinias. What do you mean?~Athenian. I mean that there
109 10|           do you mean?~Athenian. I mean that there is greater difficulty
110 10|       Cleinias. In what way do you mean?~Athenian. In a way which
111 11|            was the enactment of no mean man:—”Take not up that which
112 11|        addition to being thought a mean person and a despiser of
113 11|      virtue.~Cleinias. What do you mean?~Athenian Stranger. Dear
114 11|         die.~Cleinias. What do you mean, Stranger?~Athenian. O Cleinias,
115 11|      things.~Cleinias. What do you mean?~Athenian. I mean, my friend
116 11|           do you mean?~Athenian. I mean, my friend that they were
117 11|        them.~Cleinias. What do you mean?~Athenian. I mean to say,
118 11|           do you mean?~Athenian. I mean to say, that a case may
119 12|           be convicted.~Theft is a mean, and robbery a shameless
120 12|           me more clearly what you mean.~Athenian. O Cleinias, many
121 12|    preserve.~Cleinias. What do you mean?~Athenian. Now is the time
122 12|             Once more, what do you mean?~Athenian. The well–being
123 12|       virtue.~Cleinias. How do you mean?~Athenian. I have no difficulty
124 12|    difficulty in explaining what I mean. Let us distribute the subject
