For in the end, freedom is a personal and lonely battle; and one faces down fears of today so that those of tomorrow might be engaged. ↗

You don't always win your battles, but it's good to know you fought. ↗

Have you heard that it was good to gain the day? I also say it is good to fall, battles are lost in the same spirit in which they are won. ↗
