Take a look at this 114-year-old correspondence between literature laureates Bertrand Russell and Rabindranath Tagore.
Almost a year later, Tagore would receive the 1913 literature prize for his poetry. Russell would receive the literature prize 37 years later in 1950.

Barack Obama at his last press briefing with reporters, 2017:
"I have enjoyed working with all of you. That does not, of course, mean that I've enjoyed every story that you have filed, but that's the point of this relationship. You're not supposed to be sycophants. You're supposed to be skeptics. You're supposed to ask me tough questions. You're not supposed to be complimentary, but you're supposed to cast a critical eye on folks who hold enormous power."
