A good man would prefer to be defeated than to defeat injustice by evil means.

A good man would prefer to be defeated than to defeat injustice by evil means

It is a law of human nature that in victory even the coward may boast of his prowess, while defeat injures the reputation even of the brave.

In battle it is the cowards who run the most risk; bravery is a rampart of defense.

In my own case, who have spent my whole life in the practice of virtue, right conduct from habitual has become natural.

Harmony makes small things grow, lack of it makes great things decay.
