student success statement 

" I am not bound to win, but i am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stands with his while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong." 

Lincoln is saying that it doesn't matter if you win or lose what matter if you did things correctly, and with honesty, when you have honesty and have a good character then that counts as winning. everyone makes mistakes therefore, we need others to help us make things better.
