I do not think you are naturally inferior to the
Thebans—I should be mad to say that—only less well prepared. What I do
say is that now is the time to begin your preparation, since you have been negligent up to
now, not the decisive struggle. For I am not speaking against the plan as a whole but I am
opposed to your way of going about it.
Demosthenes with an English translation by Norman W. DeWitt, Ph.D., and Norman J. DeWitt, Ph.D. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1949.
