section 42 Demosthenes, Philippic 1
seems to me, Athenians, as if some god, out of very shame for the conduct of our
city, had inspired Philip with this activity. For if he did nothing more, but
were willing to rest satisfied with what he has already captured and subdued, I
believe some of you would be quite content with what must bring the deepest
disgrace upon us and brand us as a nation of cowards. But by always attempting
something new, always grasping at more power, he may possibly rouse even you, if
you have not utterly abandoned hope. Demosthenes. Demosthenes with an English translation by J. H. Vince, M.A. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1930.
