Lord of Lords, grant us the good whether we pray for it or not, but evil keep from us, even though we pray for it.
PlatoSOCRATES: Perhaps we may be wrong; if so, you in your wisdom should convince us that we are mistaken in preferring justice to injustice. THRASYMACHUS: And how am I to convince you, he said, if you are not already convinced by what I have just said; what more can I do for you? Would you have me put the proof bodily into your souls?
Plato
