[225b]
and yet they dare to be lovers of gain from mere shamelessness.Socrates
Well now, do you mean by the lover of gain such a man, for instance, as a farmer who plants something which he knows is a worthless herb, and thinks fit to make gain out of it when he has reared it up? Is that the sort of man you mean?Friend
The lover of gain, as such, Socrates, thinks he ought to make gain from everything.Socrates
Please do not speak so recklessly, as though you had been wronged by someone,
