May I never sit on a tribunal where my friends shall not find more favor from me than strangers.
--
As quoted by Plutarch, in Lives as translated by J. Langhorne and W. Langhorne (1850), p.225Themistocles
"Sometimes," I said, "it seems to me that a friend might not take such pleasure in making fun of me as you do."
"Dear Odd! If one's friends do not openly laugh at him, they are not, in fact, his friends. How else would one learn to avoid saying those things that would elicit laughter from strangers? The mockery of friends is affectionate, and inoculates against foolishness."Dean R. Koontz
Do not give sentence in another tribunal till you have been yourself judged in the tribunal of Justice.
Epictetus
The International War Crimes Tribunal, located at The Hague. When it was established by the United Nations Security Council in 1993, the tribunal was widely viewed as little more that a public relations device. It got off to a slow start (...) During our negotiations, the tribunal emerged as a valuable instrument of policy that allowed us, for example, to bar Karadzic and all other indicted war criminals from public office. Yet no mechanism existed for the arrest of indicted war criminals.
Richard Holbrooke
Let's just say we're closer musical friends now. A lot of these people are strangers to me. They were out of sight but very much in mind.
Mike Patton
Friends are found on the battlefield, and unfortunately friends are also lost. And where do we find the measure of that sacrifice? How can we account for the value of that loss? Sometimes we can find an answer in our sense of country, at other times in our Corps. But clearly we can see it in the lives that were able to continue due to the acts of others who were not so fortunate.
