οἴομαι μὲν οὖν οὐδὲ τοὺς κεκρατηκότας ἀγνοεῖν ὅτι βουληθέντων ὑμῶν καὶ παροξυνθέντων τῷ γεγενημένῳ, οὐ πάνυ πω δῆλον πότερον εὐτύχημ᾽ ἢ καὶ τοὐναντίον αὐτοῖς ἐστιν τὸ πεπραγμένον: εἰ δ᾽ ἄρ᾽ ἐπῆρκε τὸ πρᾶγμ᾽ αὐτοὺς θρασύνεσθαι, κἂν τοῦτο πρὸς ὑμῶν ἤδη γίγνοιτο. ὅσῳ γὰρ ἂν μᾶλλον καταφρονήσωσι, τοσούτῳ θᾶττον ἁμαρτήσονται.
Demosthenes. Orationes. ed. W. Rennie. Oxford: Clarendon Press. 1931.
