Your men love you. If I knew nothing else about you, that would be enough. But you also tilt when you should withdraw... and that is knightly, too.

"Who do you think you are? Will you alter the world? Does making a man a knight make him a better fighter?"

"Yes."

I believe this. I think we all do.

“It is the mission of each true knight...
His duty... nay, his privilege!
To dream the impossible dream,
To fight the unbeatable foe,
To bear with unbearable sorrow
To run where the brave dare not go;
To right the unrightable wrong.

To love, pure and chaste, from afar,
To try, when your arms are too weary,
To reach the unreachable star!

This is my Quest to follow that star,
No matter how hopeless, no matter how far,
To fight for the right
Without question or pause,
To be willing to march into hell
For a heavenly cause!

And I know, if I'll only be true
To this glorious Quest,
That my heart will lie peaceful and calm
When I'm laid to my rest.

And the world will be better for this,
That one man, scorned and covered with scars,
Still strove, with his last ounce of courage,
To reach the unreachable stars!”
― Joe Darion, Man of La Mancha

Right, but the forum specifically looks for "youtube.com/watch?v=whatever" type of URL. The other link was in the "youtu.be/whatever" format, so it didn't work. The forum also requires the links to be HTTP and not HTTPS (in case you run into that too).

OK scratch that. There was a newer version of the media-embedding mod, and an older mod I had was conflicting. I think I have them straightened out now. The other link format is embedding now.

I've always liked the oath that Balian took upon receiving his father's sword and signet ring:

Be without fear in the face of your enemies
Be brave and upright, that God may love thee
Speak the truth always, even if it leads to your death
Safeguard the helpless and do no wrong
That is your oath.

I have a couple favorite quotes. 

The motto of Chivalry is also the motto of wisdom; to serve all, but love only one. - Honore de Balzac

A true Knight is fuller of bravery in the midst, than in the beginning of danger. - Sir Philip Sydney

For Herein may be seen noble Chivalry, Courtesy, Humanity, Friendliness, Hardiness, Love, Friendship...Do after good and leave the evil, and it shall bring you to good fame and renown.  - Sir Thomas Malory.
