Athens (Greece) (search for this): speech 11, section 13
This being so, how is it
that they have so long remained loyal to him? Because, men of Athens, at present his prosperity
overshadows all such shortcomings, for success has a strange power of obscuring
and covering men's failings; but if he trips, all his weakness will be clearly
revealed. For it is with the political as with the bodily constitution.
Rhodes (Greece) (search for this): speech 15, section 13
while as to the King, I should not like to
say that I know what he is actually going to do, but that it is to our advantage
that he should at once make it clear whether he is going to claim Rhodes or not—that I should maintain
positively. For when he does claim it, you will have to take counsel, not for
the Rhodians only, but for yourselves and all the Greeks
Ctesiphon (Iraq) (search for this): speech 18, section 13
It is
not right to debar a man from access to the Assembly and a fair hearing, still
less to do so by way of spite and jealousy. No, by heavens, men of Athens, it is neither just, nor
constitutional, nor honest! If he ever saw me committing crimes against the
commonwealth, especially such frightful crimes as he described just now so
dramatically, his duty was to avail himself of the legal penalties as soon as
they were committed, impeaching me, and so putting me on my trial before the
people, if my sins deserved impeachment, or indicting me for breach of the
constitution, if I had proposed illegal measures. For, of course, if he
prosecutes Ctesiphon now on my account,
it is impossible that he would not have indicted me, with a certain hope of
conviction!

Then he came to me and
proposed that we should act together on the embassy, being especially urgent
that we should jointly keep watch upon that infamous scoundrel Philocrates. And
until after our return from the first embassy I at least, men of Athens, had no suspicion that he was
corrupt and had already sold himself. For apart from the speeches which, as I
said, he had made on former occasions, he rose at the first of the two
assemblies at which you discussed terms of peace, and began with an exordium
which I believe I can repeat to you in the very words he used:
Athens (Greece) (search for this): speech 20, section 13
The instance I have
quoted, men of Athens, as well many
others, will show what our national character is—truthful, honest,
and, where money is concerned, not asking what pays best, but what is the
honorable thing to do. But as to the character of the proposer of this law, I
have no further knowledge of him, nor do I say or know anything to his
prejudice; but if I may judge from his law, I detect a character very far
removed from what I have described
Weil (Hesse, Germany) (search for this): speech 20, section 131
Athens (Greece) (search for this): speech 18, section 132
You all remember Antiphon, the man who was struck off the register,
and came back to Athens after
promising Philip that he would set fire to the dockyard. When I had caught him
in hiding at Peiraeus, and brought him before the Assembly, this malignant
fellow raised a huge outcry about my scandalous and undemocratic conduct in
assaulting citizens in distress and breaking into houses without a warrant, and
so procured his acquittal.
Athens (Greece) (search for this): speech 19, section 132
For assuredly, men of Athens, when all of you and the whole
nation passed censure upon all the results of the peace, when you refused
participation in the doings of the Amphictyonic Council, when your attitude
towards Philip is still one of anger and suspicion, marking the whole of his
conduct as sacrilegious and shameful, as well as unjust and injurious to
yourselves,—it would be discreditable that you, who have entered this
court to adjudicate at the scrutiny of those transactions, and have taken the
judicial oath on behalf of the commonwealth, that you, I say, when the author of
these wrongs has been placed in your power, caught red-handed after perpetrating
such crimes, should return a verdict of acquittal
Delos (Greece) (search for this): speech 18, section 134
In fact, the Council of the Areopagus knew well that Aeschines had
been to blame throughout this affair, and therefore when, after choosing him by
vote to speak in support of your claims to the Temple at Delos, by a misapprehension such as has
often been fatal to your public interests, you invited the cooperation of that
Council and gave them full authority, they promptly rejected him as a traitor,
and gave the brief to Hypereides. On this occasion the ballot was taken at the
altar, and not a single vote was cast for this wretch.
