and the further folly of supposing that�察�apart from such discrimination�察�a 

man could help himself by means of wealth alone to whatever he liked or 

find   the path of   expediency  plain before   him�察  �and   was   it   not the   veriest

that   by   mere   wealth   without   true   knowledge   it   was   possible   either   to

than a match for his fellows in wisdom�察�and indeed might presently expect 

to out´top them all in capacity of speech and action。��3�А�At first�察�as Socrates 

noted�察�the young man by reason of his youth had not as yet set foot in the 

agora�撮�4�А�but if he had anything to transact�察�his habit was to seat himself in 

a saddler's shop hard by。 Accordingly to this same saddler's shop Socrates 

betook   himself   with   some   of   those   who   were   with   him。   And   first   the 

question   was   started   by   some   one�此   �Was   it   through   consorting   with   the 

wise�撮�5�А    �or  by   his   own    unaided     talent�察 �that   Themistocles      came     so  to

teachers�察�but that the leadership of the state�察�the most important concern of

     Soc。 It is clear from his customary pursuits�察�is it not�察�sirs�察�that when 

our friend Euthydemus here is of full age�察�and the state propounds some 

question for solution�察�he will not abstain from offering the benefit of his 

advice�拭    �One    can   imagine     the   pretty   exordium     to   his  parliamentary 

speeches which�察�in his anxiety not to be thought to have learnt anything 

from anybody�察�he has ready for the occasion。��9�А�Clearly at the outset he 

will deliver himself thus�此 �Men of Athens�察�I have never at any time learnt 

anything from anybody�察�nor�察�if I have ever heard of any one as being an 

able statesman�察�well versed in speech and capable of action�察�have I sought 

to come across him individually。 I have not so much as been at pains to 

provide      muself     with    a   teacher     from    amongst      those    who     have 

knowledge�撮�10�А�on the contrary�察�I have persistently avoided�察�I will not say 

learning from others�察�but the very faintest suspicion of so doing。 However�察�

anything that occurs to me by the light of nature I shall be glad to place at 

your disposal。; 。 。 。 How appropriate��11�А�would such a preface sound on 

the lips of any one seeking�察�say�察�the office of state physician�撮�12�А�would it 

not�拭�How advantageously he might begin an address on this wise�此 �Men of 

Athens�察�I have never learnt the art of healing by help of anybody�察�nor have 

I sought to provide myself with any teacher among medical men。 Indeed�察�

to put it briefly�察�I have been ever on my guard not only against learning 

anything from the profession�察�but against the very notion of having studied 

medicine at all。 If�察�however�察�you will be so good as to confer on me this 

post�察�I promise I will do my best to acquire skill by experimenting on your 

persons。; Every one present laughed at the exordium ��and there the matter 

dropped��。

must     at  all  hazards    avoid    the   suspicion    of   having    picked    up   any 

crumb       of   learning     from    anybody�察     �how     can    he    help    therefore

     Soc。 Is it not surprising that people anxious to learn to play the harp or 

the flute�察�or to ride�察�or to become proficient in any like accomplishment�察�

are not content to work unremittingly in private by themselves at whatever 

it is in which they desire to excel�察�but they must sit at the feet of the best´

following   the   judgment   of   those   teachers   in   everything�察  �as   though   they
