2448 Text | Protagoras wrote would be true to no one? But if you suppose
2449 Text | truth is more untrue than true.~THEODORUS: That would follow

2453 Text | that his adversary has a true opinion—Protagoras, I say,
2454 Text | doubted by all, will be true neither to himself to any

2458 Text | THEODORUS: That is very true, Socrates.~SOCRATES: But,

2461 Text | manhood. For to know this is true wisdom and virtue, and ignorance

2470 Text | of rest.~THEODORUS: Quite true.~SOCRATES: Yes, Theodorus,
2471 Text | assert, that knowledge is true opinion: let this then be
2472 Text | two sorts of opinion, one true and the other false; and
2473 Text | define knowledge to be the true?~THEAETETUS: Yes, according
2474 Text | holds a false and another a true opinion, as though there
2475 Text | excluded.~THEAETETUS: Most true.~SOCRATES: Suppose that
2476 Text | when he thinks what is not true.’—That will be our answer?~
2477 Text | THEAETETUS: That again is true.~SOCRATES: And does not
2478 Text | as another?~THEAETETUS: True.~SOCRATES: But must not
2479 Text | is the other?~THEAETETUS: True.~SOCRATES: Neither, if he
2480 Text | is the other?~THEAETETUS: True; for we should have to suppose
2481 Text | which we know?~THEAETETUS: True.~SOCRATES: Let us make the
2482 Text | own mind.~THEAETETUS: Very true.~SOCRATES: Then, first of
2483 Text | which he knows.~THEAETETUS: True.~SOCRATES: And that which
2484 Text | THEAETETUS: That is also true.~SOCRATES: See whether you
2485 Text | do not know.~THEAETETUS: True.~SOCRATES: In the third
2486 Text | case supposed.~THEAETETUS: True.~SOCRATES: But there was
2487 Text | and becomes alternately true and false;—true when the
2488 Text | alternately true and false;—true when the seals and impressions
2489 Text | liable to confusion, but have true thoughts, for they have
2490 Text | Certainly.~SOCRATES: And of true opinion also?~THEAETETUS:
2491 Text | same time.~THEAETETUS: Most true.~SOCRATES: Then false opinion

2493 Text | knowledge.’~THEAETETUS: True.~SOCRATES: I should like
2494 Text | he pleases.~THEAETETUS: True.~SOCRATES: Once more, then,
2495 Text | in his mind?~THEAETETUS: True.~SOCRATES: And he can reckon
2496 Text | amounts to?~THEAETETUS: Very true.~SOCRATES: And so he appears
2497 Text | in his mind.~THEAETETUS: True.~SOCRATES: That was my reason
2498 Text | what is, and thus false and true opinion may exist, and the
2499 Text | opinion from ignorance, but a true one from knowledge, about
2500 Text | think that his opinion is true, and he will fancy that
