The test of a man is how much he will bear for a cause which he knows to be right.
How long will he stand in the depths of despair?
How much will he suffer and fight?
There are many to serve when the victory is near and few are the hurts to be born.
But it calls for a leader of courage to cheer the men in a battle for all.
It is the way you hold out against odds that are great that proves what your courage is worth.
It is the way that you stand to the bruises of fate that shows up your stature and girth.
And victory is nothing but proof of your skill
veneered with a glory that's thin.
Unless it is a proof of unfaltering
will,
and unless you have suffered to win.
