[254]
I reckon it as part of the good fortune of
Athens that she has chosen the
noblest policy, and that she is better off than the Greeks who expected
prosperity from their betrayal of us. If she has been unsuccessful, if
everything has not fallen out as we desired, I regard that as our appointed
share in the general ill-fortune of mankind.
