My young friend, Please, listen carefully to an old man's advice: When in life for battle yourself prepare, With the number of enemies that face you, should Never preoccupy For It is the small number of dedicated friends that Stand next to you that counts, Because Each one of them equals one hundred of your Opponents Since love is what motivates their hearts While Hate is what propels the heart of your Opponents! ©Demetrios Trifiatis 07 June 2021
