My own opinion, so far as the young men were concerned, and the probable line
which their conduct would take, was full of apprehension - for young men are
quick in forming desires, which often take directions conflicting with one
another. But I knew that the character of Dion's mind was naturally a stable
one and had also the advantage of somewhat advanced years.
Therefore, I pondered the matter and was in two minds as to whether I ought to
listen to entreaties and go, or how I ought to act; and finally the scale
turned in favour of the view that, if ever anyone was to try to carry out in
practice my ideas about laws and constitutions, now was the time for making
the attempt; for if only I could fully convince one man, I should have secured
thereby the accomplishment of all good things.
