I will not yield to any man contrary to what is right, for fear of death, even if I should die at once for not yielding.

I am wiser than this man, for neither of us appears to know anything great and good; but he fancies he knows something, although he knows nothing; whereas I, as I do not know anything, so I do not fancy I do.

Not by a very long way, gentlemen; neither would any other man.
