THEMISTOCLES Athenian statesman and commander (514? BC - 449 BC) I never learned how to tune a harp, or play upon a lute; but I know how to raise a small and inconsiderable city to glory and greatness.       - on being taunted with his want of social accomplishments, Plutarch's "Life"         [Glory] May I never sit on a tribunal where my friends shall not find more favor from me than strangers.       - [Friends] Strike, not hear.   [Lat., Vebera sed audi.]       - when Eurybiades, commander of the Spartan fleet, raised his staff to strike him, in Plutarch's "Life of Themistocles", ch. XI         [Punishment] Strike, but hear me.       - Rollin's Ancient History          (bk. VI, ch. II, sec. VIII) [Hearing] The GIGA name and the GIGA logo are trademarks registered in the United States Patent and Trademark Office. GIGA-USA and GIGA-USA.COM are servicemarks of the domain owner.
