IF YOU WILL NOT FIGHT FOR RIGHT WHEN YOU CAN EASILY WIN WITHOUT BLOOD SHED; IF YOU WILL NOT FIGHT WHEN YOUR VICTORY IS SURE AND NOT TOO COSTLY; YOU MAY COME TO THE MOMENT WHEN YOU WILL HAVE TO FIGHT WITH ALL THE ODDS AGAINST YOU AND ONLY A PRECARIOUS CHANCE OF SURVIVAL. THERE MAY EVEN BE A WORSE CASE. YOU MAY HAVE TO FIGHT WHEN THERE IS NO HOPE OF VICTORY, BECAUSE IT IS BETTER TO PERISH THAN TO LIVE AS SLAVES.
