The career of Philip of Macedon resembles most nearly that of the great Muscovite Czar: but there is this important difference, that Philip had, while young, received in Southern Greece the best education in all matters of peace and war that the ablest philosophers and generals of the age could bestow. Peter was brought up among barbarians, and in barbaric ignorance.
The cities of Greece enjoyed a rare pre-eminence both in the arts and sciences of peace and in military power, but only for about one hundred and fifty years: falling at last before the superior military force of Macedon, after neglecting the practice of the military arts, and devoting themselves to art, learning, and philosophy.
M. Primus, while governor of Macedon, had made an irruption into the country of the Odrysians; for this he was prosecuted, and pleaded that it was by the emperor's orders. Augustus denying this, L. Murena put the impudent question to him mentioned in the text. An island on the coast of Lucania, in Italy; now called Santa Maria.
But whereas every nation is not capable of her liberty to this degree, lest you be put to doing and undoing of things, as the Romans were in Macedon, you shall diligently observe what nation is fit for her liberty to this degree, and what not; which is to be done by two marks, the first if she be willing to 'help the Lord against the mighty; for if she has no care of the liberty of mankind she deserves not her own.
There was never any famous orator known to come out of Persia or Macedon. I have entered into this discourse upon the occasion of an Italian I lately received into my service, and who was clerk of the kitchen to the late Cardinal Caraffa till his death.
Its leaves were of emeralds, while its grapes were clusters of fine carbuncles. This vine had been given to a Persian king by Croe´sus, the wealthy ruler of Lyd´i-a, and was considered one of the most precious treasures which the young conqueror had won. But in spite of all Alexander's successes, he was not nearly so happy as he used to be when only king of Macedon.
The sword of Sparta turned its sharpest edge against Athens, enslaved her, and devastated Greece; and, in her turn, Sparta was compelled to bend before the power of Thebes. And let it ever be remembered, especially let the truth sink deep into all American minds, that it was the WANT OF UNION among her several states which finally gave the mastery of all Greece to Philip of Macedon.
Cicero went down to the Senate the following day, and there delivered a well-prepared speech, the first of those fourteen which are known to us as his 'Philippics' a name which he seems first to have given to them in jest, in remembrance of those which his favourite model Demosthenes had delivered at Athens against Philip of Macedon.
Blue lights for Assumption and Funding and the Sedition Bill and Taxes and Standing Armies and the British Alliance "Oh, Alexander, King of Macedon, Where is your namesake, Andy Hamilton? "In a hotter place, I hope, than Saint Kitts!" "Hush!" said Rand. "Don't be ranting like a Mohawk! When a man's dead, it's time to let him rest."
Diana said: 'There are many Alexanders, but Alexander of Macedon is not dwarfed by the number. She gave him an opening for a smarter reply, but he lost it in a comment against Whitmonby's cardinal rule: 'The neatest turn of the wrist that ever swung a hero to crack a crown! and he bowed to young Rhodes: 'I 'll read your versicler to-morrow morning early. The latter expressed a fear that the hour was too critical for poetry.
