Vad skall man tycka om honom som kräver av sina vänner det som vanärar honom? Se på honom som blinkar åt och ser mellan fingrarna på överträdelser hos en, som han låter straffa hos en annan, och jämför honom med den omutliga soldaten som gör sin plikt troget, trots att det ibland strider mot hans privata känslor. Den enes uppträdande kommer att vördas och eftersträvas, den andres kommer att föraktas som en satir på soldatskap och heder.

What will be thought of him who exacts of his friends that which disgraces him?

The conduct of one will be venerated and emulated, the other detested as a satire upon soldiership and honor.

en Familiarity breeds contempt. How accurate that is. The reason we hold truth in such respect is because we have so little opportunity to get familiar with it.
