Demosthenes: “Should any thing befall this man, you will soon create another Philip, if you attend to business thus.”

When this has been secured, one may look out for revenge on Philip; but before we lay the foundation right, I deem it idle to talk about the end.

On many occasions, men of Athens, one may see the kindness of the gods to this country manifested, but most signally, I think, on the present.

Wherefore, Athenians, we must be exceedingly careful of our future measures, that by amendment therein we may efface the shame of the past.

If it be his principle, ever to do more than he has done, and yours, to apply yourselves vigorously to nothing, see what the end promises to be.
