[495c]

Socrates
Then are we to set about discussing it as your serious view?

Callicles
Oh yes, to be sure.

Socrates
Come then, since that is your opinion, resolve me this: there is something, I suppose, that you call knowledge?

Callicles
Yes.

Socrates
And were you not saying just now that knowledge can have a certain courage coupled with it?

Callicles
Yes, I was.

Socrates
And you surely meant that they were two things, courage being distinct from knowledge?

Callicles
Quite so.
