In Their Own Words
"But I have been for some time wondering at you, perceiving how sweetly you slept; and I purposely did not awake you, that you might pass your time as pleasantly as possible."
"Yet you see, Socrates, that it is necessary to attend to the opinion of the many."
"My fortune is at your service, sufficient, I think, for the purpose."
