οἶμαι πάντας ἂν ὑμᾶς, ὦ ἄνδρες Ἀθηναῖοι, ὁμολογῆσαι, ὅτι δεῖ τὴν πόλιν ἡμῶν, ὅταν μὲν περὶ τῶν ἰδίων τινὸς τῶν αὑτῆς βουλεύηται, ἴσην πρόνοιαν ἔχειν τοῦ συμφέροντος ὅσηνπερ τοῦ δικαίου, ὅταν δ᾽ ὑπὲρ τῶν συμμαχικῶν ἢ τῶν κοινῶν, οἷον καὶ τὸ νυνὶ παρόν, μηδενὸς οὕτως ὡς τοῦ δικαίου φροντίζειν. ἐν μὲν γὰρ ἐκείνοις τὸ λυσιτελὲς ἐξαρκεῖ, ἐν δὲ τοῖς τοιούτοις καὶ τὸ καλὸν προσεῖναι δεῖ.
Demosthenes. Orationes. ed. W. Rennie. Oxford: Clarendon Press. 1931.
