"If you are defending a good cause, what can you be afraid of? What can happen to you? Are they defamed, slandered, robbed, defamed? Are they accusing you, judging you falsely? All this does not change the fact that the cause you defended was good, and therefore what you did was good when you set out to defend the good cause. In such cases, do not care about anyone or anything, only the truth of the case, which you must protect. After all, they are helpless against the truth. They can crush you, but they can't convince you, they can accuse you, but they can't lie to you, they can take your life, but they can't take away your justice. You are not alone in life unless you defend a good cause.

If you are defending a good cause, what can you be afraid of? What can happen to you? Are they defamed, slandered, robbed, defamed? Are they accusing you, judging you falsely?

""Ha jó ügyet védsz, mitől is félhetsz? Mi is történhetik veled? Letepernek, megrágalmaznak, kirabolnak, meggyaláznak? Vádakkal fordulnak ellened, hamisan ítélnek? Mindez nem változtat azon, hogy az ügy, melyet védtél, jó volt, s ezért jó volt az, amit csináltál, mikor a jó ügy védelmére szegődtél. Ilyenkor ne törődj senkivel és semmivel, csak az ügy igazával, melyet meg kell védened. Végül is tehetetlenek az igazsággal szemben. Letiporhatnak, de meg nem győzhetnek, vádolhatnak, de meg nem hazudtolhatnak, elvehetik életed, de nem vehetik el igazságod. Csak akkor nem vagy magányos az életben, ha jó ügyet védesz."
