[quote][u]Meno:[/u] Is this true about yourself, Socrates, that you don’t even know what virtue is? Is this the report that we are to take home about you?

[u]Socrates:[/u] Not only that, you may also say that, to the best of my belief, I have never met anyone else who did know.

[u]Meno:[/u] What! Didn’t you meet Gorgias when he was here?

[u]Socrates:[/u] Yes.

[u]Meno:[/u] And you still didn’t think he knew?

[u]Socrates:[/u] I’m a forgetful sort of person, and I can’t say just now what I thought at the time. Probably he did know, and I expect you know what he used to say about it. So remind me what it was, or tell me yourself if you will. No doubt you agree with him.

[u]Meno:[/u] Yes, I do.

[u]Socrates:[/u] Then let’s leave him out of it, since after all he isn’t here. What do you yourself say virtue is?
