The North Face : Not giving up.

The enemy has never been more relentless, never more cunning, never more ruthless. A daunting decision stands between us and that enemy.

We can sheathe our swords in retreat. We can lay down our swords in surrender. We can fall on our swords in despair. Or we can, with the brave who have gone before us, draw our swords and ride with full fury into the enemy's ranks.

A day may come when your courage and mine will fail.

But it will not be this day!

A day may come when we forsake our friends and break all bonds of fellowship.

But it will not be this day!

This day we fight!

And though we may not win the battle or even survive it, it will be remembered that we did not turn back. It will be remembered that we drew our swords. And that though we died, we died fighting.

The North Face of God, pg 196
