[263b]

Socrates
Then in some things we agree and in others we do not.

Phaedrus
True.

Socrates
Then in which of the two are we more easy to deceive, and in which has rhetoric the greater power?

Phaedrus
Evidently in the class of doubtful things.

Socrates
Then he who is to develop an art of rhetoric must first make a methodical division and acquire a clear impression of each class, that in which people must be in doubt and that in which they are not.
