For you will notice, men of Athens, that whenever you have collectively formed some
project, and thereafter each individual has realized that it was his personal
duty to carry it out, nothing has ever escaped your grasp; but whenever you have
formed your project and thereafter have looked to one another to carry it out,
each expecting to do nothing while his neighbor worked, then nothing has
succeeded with you.
