I Courted Fame But As A Spur

True Valor, On Virtue Founded Strong, Meets All Events Alike.

Uncertainty! Fell Demon Of Our Fears! The Human Soul That Can Support Despair, Supports Not Thee.

Affliction Is The Wholesome Soil Of Virtue, Where Patience, Honor, Sweet Humility, And Calm Fortitude, Take Root And Strongly Flourish.

I Courted Fame But As A Spur To Brave And Honest Deeds; Who Despises Fame Will Soon Renounce The Virtues That Deserve It.

What Proves The Hero Truly Great,is Never, Never To Despair.
