Plutarch, Aussprüche von Königen und Feldherren (Moralia 177 C – 179 D):
6.
When Smicythus remarked maliciously of Nicanor that he was always speaking ill of Philip, and Philip’s companions thought that he ought to send for Nicanor and punish him, Philip said, “But really Nicanor is not the worst of the Macedonians. We must investigate therefore whether something is not happening for which we are responsible.” When he learned therefore that Nicanor was hard pressed by poverty, and had been neglected by him, he directed that a present be given to the man. So when again Smicythus said that Nicanor was continually sounding the praises of Philip to everybody in a surprising way, Philip said, “You all see that we ourselves are responsible for the good and the ill that is said of us [ὁρᾶτε οὖν, εἶπεν, ὅτι παρ’ ἡμᾶς αὐτούς ἐστι καὶ τὸ καλῶς καὶ τὸ κακῶς ἀκούειν].”


7.
He said that he felt very grateful to the popular leaders of the Athenians (1), because by maligning him they made him better both in speech and in character, “For I try both by my words and by my deeds to prove that they are liars [πειρῶμαι γὰρ αὐτοὺς ἅμα καὶ τοῖς λόγοις καὶ τοῖς ἔργοις ψευδομένους ἐλέγχειν].”

[Plutarch: Moralia III. Ed. by Frank Cole Babbitt. Cambridge (Mass.)/London 72004, pp. 40-53]

(1) u.a. Demosthenes in seinen „Philippischen Reden“

Zu 6.: Philipps Ausspruch ist heute aus der Mode gekommen; heute sind die Medien schuld.
