Athens (Greece) (search for this): speech 1, section 16
Now someone may tell
me that to find fault is easy and in any one's power, but that it needs a
statesman to expound the policy demanded by our circumstances. But I am not
unaware, men of Athens, that if
anything goes wrong, you often vent your disappointment, not on the responsible
agents, but on those who happen to have addressed you last. I shall not,
however, consult my own safety by keeping back what I believe to be for your
true interests.
Olynthus (search for this): speech 1, section 18
For
if you send a marauding expedition, he will stand on the defensive until he has
made himself master of Olynthus,
and then he will easily march to the relief of his own territory; or if you
confine yourselves to helping Olynthus, he will know that his base is secure and will give
close and undivided attention to his operations, until at last he overcomes the
resistance of thl he has

confine yourselves to helping Olynthus, he will know that his base is secure and will give
close and undivided attention to his operations, until at last he overcomes the
resistance of the besieged. Our expedition, you see, must be on a large scale
and twofold.
Athens (Greece) (search for this): speech 1, section 19
Such are my views on the expeditionary force. With regard to the supply of
money, you have money, men of Athens; you have more than any other nation has for military
purposes. But you appropriate it yourselves, to suit your own pleasure. Now if
you will spend it on the campaign, you have no need of a further supply; if not,
you have—or rather, you have no supply at all.
“What!” someone will cry, “do you actually move to
use this money for military purposes?” Of course
Thessaly (Greece) (search for this): speech 1, section 21
It is worth while, however, to observe and
consider how Philip stands today. His present prospects are not so bright or
satisfactory as they seem and as a superficial observer might pronounce them;
nor would he ever have provoked this war had he thought that he would be bound
to fight himself. He hoped that on his first entry he would carry all before
him, and he finds himself completely mistaken. This unforeseen result confounds
and discourages him; and besides there is the question of Thessaly.
Thessaly (Greece) (search for this): speech 1, section 22
The Thessalians were always, of course, born traitors, and Philip finds them
today just what everyone has found them in the past. They have formally resolved
to demand the restitution of Pagasae
and have hindered him from fortifying Magnesia. I have also been informed that they will no longer
hand over to him the profits of their harbors and markets, on the ground that
this sum ought to be applied to the government of Thessaly and not find its way into Philip's coffers. Now if he
is deprived of this source of revenue, he will be hard put to it to pay for the
maintenance of his mercenaries.

Athens (Greece) (search for this): speech 1, section 25
One point more, men of Athens. Do
not forget that you can today choose whether you must fight there or Philip must
fight here. If Olynthus holds out,
you will fight there, to the detriment of his territory, while you enjoy in
security the land that is your home. But if Philip takes Olynthus, who is to
prevent his marching hither? The Thebans?

But indeed I think you want no speech to
prove how vast is the difference between a war here and a war yonder. Why, if
you were obliged to take the field yourselves for a bare month, drawing from
Attica the necessary
supplies—I am assuming that there is no enemy in this
country—I suppose your farmers would lose more than the sum spent upon
the whole of the previous war.The war about
Amphipolis. Demosthenes
reckons its cost at 1500 talents （Dem. 2.28）. But if war comes within
our borders, at what figure must we assess our losses? And you must add the
insolence of the enemy and the ignominy of our position, greater than any loss
in a wise man's esti
