“I am not bound to win, but i am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.”

Abraham Lincoln

Reflection: This quote by Abraham Lincoln is great because he talks about how it's not about winning it's about doing things in truth with honesty and to stand next to those who do right and to keep standing with that person while he is right. However, if the person you are standing with goes wrong then you need to part from that person. An example can be if you stand with a friend because they are right about doing the right thing like staying in school and doing homework and classwork and behaving well then you stand with him but if that person does drugs then you must leave and not stand with that person because he went wrong and will lead you to a bad path. Another example is maybe you’re the person people are standing with because you are doing right and doing what you are supposed to be doing and not doing the things that you should not be doing like drugs or stealing etc. If you are that person that people are standing with then it is a responsibility for you to keep doing what is right and stay on the right track and not go rogue and do the wrong thing. “I am not bound to win, but i am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.” Learn from this quote and apply it to your lives.
