"If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment."

What makes a Knight?  When the man steps down to help his fellow man with word of wisdom or hand of help, when a man stands by and guards his honor, integrity, character in spite of ridicule and verbal slander, when a man uses his fighting skill to protect his loved one(s) and those that are deprived of help, when a man chooses loyalty and follows through by his commitment, when a man who keeps a sharp mind as just as he keeps a sharp sword, what makes one a Knight is the actions that affirm the belief of Chivalry in the man.

Honora gladium meum, veritas mea, et SpirĂ­tui Sancto.  כדי לכבד המגן שלי, האמת שלי חרבי

Honor My Sword, Truth My Shield.
