[208]
How comes it then that
the most impudent men in Athens, and
the loudest speakers, are overborne by me, the nervous man, who can speak no
louder than another? Because truth is strong, and consciousness of corruption
weak. Conscience paralyses their audacity; conscience cripples their tongues,
closes their lips, stifles them, puts them to silence.
