Wage War Honourably
You may be obliged to wage war, but not to use poisoned arrows. Every one must needs act as he is, not as others would make him to be. Gallantry in the battle of life wins all men’s praise: one should fight so as to conquer, not alone by force but by the way it is used. A mean victory brings no glory, but rather disgrace. Honour always has the upper hand. An honourable man never uses forbidden weapons, such as using a friendship that’s ended for the purposes of a hatred just begun: a confidence must never be used for a vengeance. The slightest taint of treason tarnishes the good name. The slightest hint of meanness repels honourable men: the noble and the ignoble should be worlds apart. Be able to boast that if gallantry, generosity, and fidelity were lost in the world, men would be able to rediscover them in your own heart.
