[386b] as not to believe at all that any man is bad?

Hermogenes
Lord, no; but I have often been carried away into the belief that certain men, and a good many of them, are very bad.

Socrates
Well, did you never think any were very good?

Hermogenes
Very few.

Socrates
But you did think them so?

Hermogenes
Yes.

Socrates
And what is your idea about that? Are the very good very wise and the very bad very foolish?
