Quo magis praeceptum illud omnium in animis esse debet, nihil in bello oportere contemni neque sine causa dici matrem timidi flere non solere. Neque tamen pro opinione Thrasybuli auctae sunt opes; nam iam tum illis temporibus fortius boni pro libertate loquebantur quam pugnabant.
From this it follows that all men ought to bear in mind this thought, that in war nothing should be scorned, and that it is a true saying that the mother of one who knows what fear is seldom has cause to weep. And yet Thrasybulus forces did not grow so rapidly as he hoped, for even then in those days good citizens were readier to speak for liberty than to fight for it.
