Emerson pointed out, “The test of courage comes when we are in the minority.

Act with the heart of the warrior.

During times of persistent hardship is when the warrior learns the most about his fortitude.

Warriors do not lower themselves to the standards of other people; they live independently according to their own standards and code of honor.

Protecting yourself is self-defense. Protecting others is warriorship.

When you react, you let other control you. When you respond, you are in control.
