11 1 |       Cleinias. True; but I hardly think that we shall be able to
12 1 |          say anything.~Cleinias. I think that every one will admit

18 2 |           we prosper, and again we think that we prosper when we
19 2 |         making, because we love to think of our former selves; and
20 2 |            about this?~Cleinias. I think that we partly agree and
21 2 |           in the execution: do you think that any one can know about
22 2 |           the drunken.~Cleinias. I think so too, if drinking were
23 2 |          Gods I leave to those who think that they may be safely
24 3 |          so?~Athenian. Why, do you think that you can reckon the
25 3 |            choose those which they think best. These persons will
26 3 |            such another, and would think that a day as long as this—
27 3 |      Delphian Apollo, be likely to think that such states would be
28 3 |            you say so?~Athenian. I think that from his youth upwards
29 3 |      alternative you had chosen, I think that you would have gone

31 3 |          field of battle, and they think that their salvation depends
32 3 |       words?~Cleinias. Stranger, I think that I see how a proof of
33 4 |       thing for men, as the vulgar think, but the continuance of
34 4 |          the catalogue of goods. I think that you must understand
35 4 |           into confusion, and many think that he is a great man,
36 4 |            should a wise man do or think, or not do or think?~Cleinias.
37 4 |          do or think, or not do or think?~Cleinias. Every man ought
38 4 |          be out of place—of this I think that he may give a sample
39 4 |         under a single form, but I think that we may get some notion
40 4 |            be of some value; and I think that a person will listen
41 4 |          if I had to choose. But I think that Cleinias is the person
42 4 |            you advise.~Athenian. I think that you are right, Cleinias,
43 4 |         lawgiver.~Cleinias. That I think is most true. And now, Stranger,
44 5 |            body (although many may think otherwise), any more than
45 5 |        truly said to know nothing, think that we know all things;
46 5 |         mildest of purgations, may think himself happy if he can

49 6 |            law whom they severally think will be the best superintendent

52 7 |          our alumni; they ought to think that what has been said
53 7 | legislators, but I must say what I think. The legislator ought to
54 7 |            good Cleinias, I rather think that I am fortunate.~Cleinias.
55 7 |      Cleinias. How so?~Athenian. I think that I am not wholly in
56 7 |            end.~Cleinias. I do not think, Stranger, that we have
57 7 |             Certainly.~Athenian. I think that we have only to recollect
58 7 |        meaning whatever and may, I think, be most truly described
59 7 |           answer the divine men? I think that our answer should be

61 7 |           incommensurable, and you think that all things are commensurable,
62 8 |            more if the magistrates think fit, having no regard to
63 8 |            a moment allows them to think of anything but their own
64 8 |   perplexity?~Cleinias. No; but we think that you are too severe
65 8 |           one another, and will, I think, be made by these laws the
66 8 |          woman? And who would ever think of establishing such a practice
67 8 |       friend Megillus?~Megillus. I think, Stranger, that you are
68 8 |  opportunity offers; at present, I think that we had better allow
69 8 |          but in Crete no one would think of introducing any other
70 9 |    Consistent in what?~Athenian. I think that I have clearly stated
71 10|           gentle and not stern, we think that they should first of

73 10|           highest of which you now think nothing—to know the Gods
74 10|           if they will not say and think that the Gods are such as
75 10|      unsuitableness might arise. I think therefore that I had better
76 10|            be virtues? What do you think?~Cleinias. Decidedly not.~
77 10|           Athenian. Either he must think that the neglect of the

84 11|         both together do what they think best in these matters; if
85 11|    Certainly.~Athenian. May we not think, as I was saying just now,
86 11|        ordered by nature, good men think it a blessing from heaven
87 12|            and morose ways, as men think. And to be thought or not
88 12|          Cleinias. Then let us not think of desisting until we have
89 12|      unable to set forth what they think?~Cleinias. Certainly not;
