The Nervousness of Even A Great Orator
I then rose to respond. I rose with what anxiety of mind——Oh immortal gods——with what fear! I indeed always begin to speak with great fear. Whenever I speak, I seem to come in judgment not only of character but even of virtue and duty to myself. Then I am really so confused that I fear everything. Finally I controll myself and so have I fought, thus by all reason I have contended that no one may think that I have neglected that case.

The Character of Cimon
Cimon comes to the highest honors quickly. He truly had enough of eloquence, the utmost liberality, wild knowlegde of laws and the arts of war, because he had been in army with his father since his boyhood. Therefore he kept these people of the city in his own power most easily and was powerful among the best armies in respect to authority.
When he had died, Athenians grieved about him for a long time; not only in war, however, but even in peace they missed him heavily. He was truly a man of so great liberality that, although he had many gardens, he never placed guard in them; for he wished these gardens lie open most freely lest people was restrained from these fruits. Always however, when he saw anyone who is less well dressed, he gave his own cloak to him. He enriched many people; he helped many living poor men and buried the dead with his own wealth. So least surprising is that if, because of Cimon's character, his life was free from care and his death was so grief to everyone as the death of someone from his family.
