That is why you are the most gifted young surgeon in this city. And this... this is a career that is all about the greater good. I've had to sacrifice certain aspects of my relationship with you so that hundreds and thousands of patients will live because of your extraordinary skills. I know it's a long... long time coming. What happened yesterday, I promise you will never happen again. And after all... what I've given... this is... this is not just about my career, Jack. It's my life."

| Isaac | Abraham | God | "Catch-22" | Desmond: "Moriah is the mountain where Abraham was asked to kill Isaac."
Brother Campbell: "And yet God spared Isaac."
Desmond: "Well one might argue that God need not have asked Abraham to sacrifice his son in the first place."
Brother Campbell: "Well then it wouldn't have been much of a test, would it Brother? Perhaps you underestimate the value of sacrifice."

Season 4
| Ben | Alex | himself and perhaps everyone on the Island | "The Shape of Things to Come" | Ben thinks they are bluffing since he and Widmore have "rules" for engagement, therefore he let Alex get sacrificed in order for him and the other survivors to avoid capture/death.
