Tell me, Criton, said Socrates, do you keep dogs to fend the wolves from your sheep?
Certainly, replied Criton, because it pays me better to keep them.
Then why not keep a man who may be able and willing to fend off the attempts to injure you?
I would gladly do so were I not afraid that he might turn on me.
