The Apology

   5 Intro|              of the Dialogues. And we may perhaps even indulge in
   6 Intro|            recollection of his master may have been present to the
   7 Intro|               the Republic. The Crito may also be regarded as a sort
   8 Intro|              accustomed irony,’ which may perhaps be expected to sleep

  13 Intro|          together, and in which there may be a hope of seeing the
  14 Intro|             of a precise solution, we may go on to ask what was the
  15 Intro|             he serious or jesting? It may be observed that these sophisms

  25 Text |              And although some of you may think that I am joking,
  26 Text |               I reply, wisdom such as may perhaps be attained by man,
  27 Text |             superhuman wisdom which I may fail to describe, because
  28 Text |              Herculean’ labours, as I may call them, which I endured
  29 Text |             knew nothing at all, as I may say, and I was sure that

  49 Text |             occur to his mind, and he may be set against me, and vote
  50 Text |               that there is,—to him I may fairly reply: My friend,
  51 Text |            have been acquitted. And I may say, I think, that I have
  52 Text |               have escaped Meletus. I may say more; for without the

 125 Intro|              of posterity. Two causes may be assigned for this obscurity:
 126 Intro|       philologer of the last century. May we suppose that Plato, like
 127 Intro|            rest of his philosophy? Or may we be so bold as to deny

 142 Intro|            the parts of a proposition may be true or false, and the
 143 Intro|            names, and therefore names may be true or false. Would
 144 Intro|      Hermogenes maintain that anybody may give a name to anything,

 146 Intro|           truth about philology which may be learnt from Homer. Does

 152 Intro|           names no longer agree. This may be illustrated by the case

 174 Intro|            answer. But mere antiquity may often prevent our recognizing

 193 Intro|         Better to admit this, that we may not be punished like the

 195 Intro|              And, errors excepted, we may still affirm that a name

 198 Intro|          problems, for example, there may be a flaw at the beginning,
 199 Intro|                and yet the conclusion may follow consistently. And,
 200 Intro|             we must allow that things may be known without names;

 207 Intro|             from other languages, and may have no relation to the
 208 Intro|           principles of philology, we may note also a few curious

 258 Intro|             thoughts and feelings. We may still remark how much greater
 259 Intro|    possibility of determining. But we may reasonably conjecture that

 263 Intro|            and in some of their cases may have fallen out of use.
 264 Intro|             verbs in the same meaning may sometimes take one case,
 265 Intro|               another. The participle may also have the character

 285 Intro|            which is familiarly spoken may have grown up wholly or
 286 Intro|               a whole country. But it may have taken a long time to
 287 Intro|               and another long period may have elapsed before it came
 288 Intro|            beginning to disappear: it may also be remarked that whenever
 289 Intro|            prepositions, conjunctions may or rather must recur in
