Demosthenes, Philippic 1, section 10 (search)
When, Athenians, will you take the necessary action?
What are you waiting for? Until you are compelled, I presume. But what are we to
think of what is happening now? For my own part I think that for a free people
there can be no greater compulsion than shame for their position. Or tell me,
are you content to run round and ask one another, “Is there any news
today?” Could there be any news more startling than that a Macedonian
is triumphing over Athenians and settling the destiny of Hellas
Demosthenes, Philippic 2, section 11 (search)
For I suppose he learns from history and from report that your
ancestors, when they might, at the price of submission to the Great King, have
become the paramount power in Greece,
not only refused to entertain that proposal, conveyed to them by Alexander, an
ancestor of Philip's line, but chose to quit their homes and endure every
hardship, and thereafter wrought those deeds which all men are always eager to
relate, though no one has ever been able to tell them worthily; and therefore I
shall not be wrong in passing them over, for they are indeed great beyond any
man's power of speech. On the other hand, he learns that the ancestors of these
Thebans and Argives either fought for the barbarians or did not fight against
them.
Demosthenes, Philippic 2, section 2 (search)
Unfortunately all our
national affairs have now reached to such a pass, that the more completely and
manifestly Philip is convicted of violating the peace with us and of plotting
against the whole of Greece, the more
difficult it is to suggest the right course of action.

Demosthenes, Philippic 3, section 23 (search)
Yet your hegemony in Greece lasted seventy-five years, that of Sparta twenty-nine, and in these later
times Thebes too gained some sort of
authority after the battle of Leuctra. But neither to you nor to the Thebans nor
to the Lacedaemonians did the Greeks ever yet, men of Athens, concede the right of unrestricted
action, or anything like it.
Demosthenes, Olynthiac 3, section 25 (search)
Such was their
rank in the world of Hellas: what
manner of men they were at home, in public or in private life, look round you
and see. Out of the wealth of the state they set up for our delight so many fair
buildings and things of beauty, temples and offerings to the gods, that we who
come after must despair of ever surpassing them; yet in private they were so
modest, so careful to obey the spirit of the constitution,

but
we idly watch the growing power of this man, each bent (or so it seems
to me) on profiting by the interval afforded by another's ruin, taking
not a thought, making not an effort for the salvation of Greece. For that Philip, like the recurrence
or attack of a fever or some other disease, is threatening even those who think
themselves out of reach, of that not one of you is ignora
Demosthenes, Philippic 3, section 30 (search)
Ay, and you know this also, that the wrongs which the
Greeks suffered from the Lacedaemonians or from us, they suffered at all events
at the hands of true-born sons of Greece, and they might have been regarded as the acts of a
legitimate son, born to great possessions, who should be guilty of some fault or
error in the management of his estate: so far he would deserve blame and
reproach, yet it could not be said that it was not one of the blood, not the
lawful heir who was acting thus.
Demosthenes, Philippic 3, section 32 (search)
Yet what is wanting to crown his insolence? Not content with the
destruction of cities, is he not organizing the Pythian games, the common
festival of the Greeks, and if he cannot be present in person, sending his
menials to act as stewards? [Is he not master of Thermopylae and the passes into
Greece, holding those places with
his garrisons and his mercenaries? Has he not the right of precedence at the
Oracle, ousting us and the Thessalians and the Dorians and the rest of the
Amphictyons from a privilege which not even all Greek states can
claim?]
Demosthenes, Philippic 3, section 34 (search)
And it is not only his outrages on Greece that go unavenged, but even the wrongs
which each suffers separately. For nothing can go beyond that. Are not the
Corinthians hit by his invasion of Ambracia and Leucas?
The Achaeans by his vow to transfer Naupactus to the Aetolians? The Thebans by his theft of
Echinus? And is he not marching
