For it is surely possible to humble the Thebans without strengthening the
Lacedaemonians; nay, it is much easier. How it can be done, I will try to
explain. Everyone knows this much, that all
men, even against their wishes, are, up to a certain point, ashamed not to do
what is just, but make a display of opposition to injustice, especially in cases
where there are definite victims; and we shall find that what ruins
everything—the root in fact of all evil—is unwillingness to
act justly under all circumstances.
