When I see such persons now sitting here at
the side of that same individual and summoned by him, alarm seizes me; and I, in my turn, summon any of the older men that may have such a person
sitting next him, not to let himself be shamed down, for fear of being
thought a coward if he do not vote for war, but, remembering how rarely
success is got by wishing and how often by forecast, to leave to them the
mad dream of conquest, and as a true lover of his country, now threatened by
the greatest danger in its history, to hold up his hand on the other side; to vote that the Siceliots be left in the limits now existing between us,
limits of which no one can complain (the Ionian sea for the
coasting voyage, and the Sicilian across the open main), to enjoy
their own possessions and to settle their own quarrels;
[2]
that the Egestaeans, for their part, be told to end by themselves with the
Selinuntines the war which they began without consulting the Athenians; and that for the future we do not enter into alliance, as we have been used
to do, with people whom we must help in their need, and who can never help
us in ours.
