625 4    |   neglected. ~What do you mean? ~I mean such things as these:-when
626 4    |           be admired. ~What do you mean? I said; you should have
627 4    |           discovery in this way: I mean to begin with the assumption
628 4    |          to the State. ~How do you mean? ~Why, I said, everyone
629 4    |       perfectly understand you. ~I mean that courage is a kind of

643 5    |       think that you are lazy, and mean to cheat us out of a whole
644 5    |         what sort of community you mean. We have been long expecting
645 5    |         friend, I suppose that you mean to encourage me by these

657 5    |        their hearts, and would not mean to go on fighting forever. ~
658 5    |              Socrates, what do you mean? I would have you consider
659 5    |            explain to them whom we mean when we say that philosophers
660 5    |       should like to know what you mean? ~To another, I replied,
