Now, it is one of the blessings for which, I think, the gods deserve your
gratitude, that the same men who not long ago attacked you in the wantonness of
their pride, now find in you alone the hope of their salvation. You ought to be

in fact succeed, with honor to yourselves, in silencing the evil tongues that
traduce our city.
Demosthenes. Demosthenes with an English translation by C. A. Vince, M. A. and J. H. Vince, M.A. Cambridge, MA, Harvard University Press; London, William Heinemann Ltd. 1926.
