Once when talking with the son of the great Pericles, he said: For my part, Pericles, I feel hopeful that, now you have become general, our city will be more efficient and more famous in the art of war, and will defeat our enemies.
I could wish, answered Pericles, that it might be as you say, Socrates; but how these changes are to come about I cannot see.
Should you like to discuss them with me, then, said Socrates, and consider how they can be brought about?
I should.
