Mer information om detta ordspråk och citat! Men en officer på tjänst känner ingen - att vara partisk är att vanhedra både sig själv och den som han felaktigt befordrar. 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.

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