Demades
Demades (Greek: Δημάδης, c. 380 – 318 BC) was an Athenian orator and demagogue.
Background and early life
Demades was born into a poor family of ancient Paeania and was employed at one time as a common sailor, but he rose to a prominent position at Athens thanks to his eloquence as well as his unscrupulous character. He espoused the cause of Philip II of Macedon in the war against Olynthus, and was thus brought into bitter and lifelong enmity with Demosthenes, whom he at first supported.
Relations with Macedon
Demades fought against the Macedonians in the Battle of Chaeronea, and was taken prisoner. Having made a favourable impression upon Philip, he was released together with his fellow-captives, and was instrumental in bringing about a treaty of peace between Macedonia and Athens.
Demades continued to be a favourite of Alexander, and, prompted by a bribe, saved Demosthenes and some other Athenian orators from his vengeance. It was also chiefly owing to him that Alexander, after the destruction of Thebes, treated Athens so leniently.

Time Waits
by: Gloria EstefanTime gave me a window to be here
Time made me some space
Allowed me
Entry
Blink, children have grown
They're on their own
Years, swift as a day
Before you know go blazing away
I'll live like forever is now
Because time waits for no one
And tomorrow just may not come 'round
Because time waits for no one
When we're gone
Only love goes on
Time, it's seamless illusion seduced me
Time, to show me the ropes
Enticed me
To waste it
But truth is much better seen
Within our dreams
Life's infinite thread
Unraveling then starting again
I'll live like forever is now
Because time waits for no one
And tomorrow just may not come 'round
Because time waits for no one
When we're gone
Only love goes on
Time waits for no one, it all seems to happen so fast
(Time won't wait, oh no)
No end, no beginning
I'll live like each moment's the last
(Time won't wait, oh no)
Just when it's over, the journey has merely begun
(Time won't wait, oh no)
No you, no me, in the end there is only the one
