ok so i do believe that i have a man bill that deserves to be made law.

here it goes...

Fortis cadere, cedere non potest
A brave man may fall, but he cannot yield
Latin proverb

in essence when shit gets tough no real man will give in, he must fight to maintain his rights and his way of life. fight till the end or dont dare call yourself a man.

i know this wording sounds stupid, it sounded better in my head. but if ya want to reword it so ya get the jist of it its kool but most def keep the latin and the translation somehow in it

You know, that's actually a good point! I know several quotes that express a similar sentiment ("Better to die on your feet than live on your knees" for example) but this has a rather poignant eloquence about it. It certainly expresses what the Order is about.

I concur. When the shit gets tough, the tough get going!

I actually got the quote from a song but I thought it could be appropriate, although maybe not that drastic, the quote goes like this

"Whoever appeals to the law against his fellow men is either a fool or a coward, whoever cannot take care of himself without that law is both, for a wounded man shall say to his assailent: If I live I will kill you, If I die you are forgiven. Such is the rule of honor."

it has something to do with the "fight with grace, loose with honor" that was posted before
