All you who were in the army and were present in the campaign, call
to mind and tell to those who sit by you my own efforts and the troubles and
distresses in which the state was involved at that crisis, in order that you may
know from this evidence what manner of man I am in carrying out the orders you
lay upon me. And all of you who stayed at home, listen to me in silence, while I
set forth before you all the facts, and produce in support of every statement
that I make the laws and decrees both of the senate and the people, and the
testimony of witnesses.
Demosthenes. Demosthenes with an English translation by A. T. Murray, Ph.D., LL.D. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1939.
