You must all be agreed, men of Athens, that in these proceedings I am concerned equally with
Ctesiphon, and that they require
from me no less serious consideration. Any loss, especially if inflicted by
private animosity, is hard to bear; but to lose your goodwill and kindness is
the most painful of all losses, as to gain them is the best of all acquisitions.
