May I never sit on a tribunal where my friends shall not find more favor from me than strangers.
ThemistoclesFor the Athenians command the rest of Greece, I command the Athenians; your mother commands me, and you command your mother.

ThemistoclesI choose the likely man in preference to the rich man; I want a man without money rather than money without a man.
Themistocles
