A man who forsakes his principles for the favor of others is a man of paper, not iron. With courage like iron and bones like steel, stand firm in your virtues, and your words will have the weight of gold.

Character:

Each soul is more precious than golden silk, and each story as beautiful as shining stars.
Rather than destroy such treasures, I will stand against all who would despoil them.
