I Am Not Bound To Win But I Am Bound To Be True I

“Obstacles cannot crush me. Every obstacle yields to stern resolve. He who is fixed to a star does not change his mind.”

I think; therefore I am.

“Perhaps the hopes I have confessed to are of an illusory nature, too. But I hold fast to one distinction. Apart from the fact that no penalty is imposed for not sharing them, my illusions are not, like religious ones, incapable of correction.”

I am not what happened to me, I am what I choose to become.

“I was not, I was, I am not, I care not. (Non fui, fui, non sum, non curo)”

Move not unless you see an advantage; use not your troops unless there is something to be gained; fight not unless the position is critical.
