Guard against those whose words violate the laws or whose lives have defied them

You, who have a government based upon equality and law, must guard against those whose words violate the laws or whose lives have defied them. For then only will you be strong, when you cherish the laws, and when the revolutionary attempts of lawless men shall have ceased.  Aeschines.  Against Timarchus.  Speech 1.  Section 5.
