[227]
Would you like to know the reason? I will tell you,
and I trust that you will not take offence at my candor. Philip, I take it,
having one body and one soul loves those who help him and hates those who harm
him with his whole heart, whereas no one of you regards the benefactor of the
commonwealth as his benefactor, or the enemy of the commonwealth as his enemy.
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.
