Demosthenes Quotes and Sayings


Demosthenes Greek orator & politician in Athens (384 BC - 322 BC)

Beware lest in your anxiety to avoid war you obtain a master. ~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. ~Demosthenes
