Athens (Greece) (search for this): speech 2, section 7
I find that next he won
the friendship of the Olynthians by capturing Potidaea, which was yours, and thus wronging you, his former
allies,If the Greek is sound, this must
allude to Philip's offer of alliance with Athens ten years before. But perhaps we should omit
u(ma=s with Blass. The allies will then
be the Potidaeans, as the Scholiast explains. in presenting it to
them. Lastly he has won over the Thessalians by promising to bestow Magnesia upon them and by undertaking to
conduct the Phocian warThe Sacred War of
355-346. in their interests. In a word, he has hoodwinked everyone
that has had any dealings with him; he has played upon the folly of each party
in turn and exploited their ignorance of his own character. That is how he has
gained his
Athens (Greece) (search for this): speech 4, section 7
And you too, men of
Athens, if you are willing to
adopt this principle, now if never before, if each citizen is ready to throw off
his diffidence and serve the state as he ought and as he best may, the rich man
paying, the strong man fighting, if, briefly and plainly, you will consent to
become your own masters, and if each man will cease to expect that, while he
does nothing himself, his neighbor will do everything for him, then, God
willing, you will recover your own, you will restore what has been frittered

Athens (Greece) (search for this): speech 6, section 7
Now I, men of Athens, reason thus. What did Philip first
get under his control after the Peace? Thermopylae and the Phocian government. Well, what did he make
of these? He chose to act in the interests of Thebes, not of Athens. And why so? Because, I believe, guided in his
calculations by ambition and the desire of universal dominion, regardless of the
claims of peace and quietness and justice, Now I, men of Athens, reason thus. What did Philip first

Pella (Greece) (search for this): speech 7, section 7
But when he says that
he is willing to arbitrate, he is merely mocking you. In the first place, he
expects Athenians to refer to arbitration, as against this upstart from
Pella, the question whether the
islands are yours or his. If you cannot preserve your maritime possessions by
your might that once saved Hellas, but
rely on any jury to whom you refer it, and whose verdict is final, to preserve
them for you, provided always that Philip does not buy their votes,

hostilities.

Yes, and it is he who is the useful
citizen, not those who for a moment's popularity have made havoc of the chief
resources of the State. These men I am so far from envying or deeming them
worthy citizens of our city, that if a man should say to me, “Speak
for yourself, and tell us what good you have ever done the State,”
though I might speak, men of Athens,
