Demosthenes - First Olynthiac
Every advantage in the past is judged in the light of the final issue.
Demosthenes
All speech is vain and empty unless it be accompanied by action.
Demosthenes
Beware lest in your anxiety to avoid war you obtain a master.
Demosthenes - Olynthiac
There is a great deal of wishful thinking in such cases; it is the easiest thing of all to deceive one?s self.
Demosthenes
The man who has received a benefit ought always to remember it, but he who has granted it ought to forget the fact at once.
Demosthenes - Third Olynthiac
Nothing is easier than self-deceit. For what each man wishes, that he also believes to be true.
Demosthenes
The fact speak for themselves.
Demosthenes
Small opportunities are often the beginning of great enterprises.
Demosthenes
He who confers a favor should at once forget it, if he is not to show a sordid ungenerous spirit. To remind a man of a kindness conferred and to talk of it, is little different from reproach.
