Principle Stands Alone

I went through a particular difficult time and was greatly misunderstood by those involved. My arguments were not heeded. I was alone. Only time will tell the value of standing on principle...

When a man stands on princple....

He often stands alone.....

Have you ever stood....

Alone amid the swirling criticism of the less principled.....

Alone with the cunning smirk of the more manipulative.....

Alone as the foundations of your principle was chipped away at.....

Alone while the crowd thought you were crazy.......

Alone......

While your principled stand was mocked.....

Alone while priciple was met with disdain.....

And that same disdain ruled the day.....

A great ones "feet well night slipped" when the principless prevailed.....

Have you ever been in a place that you asked yourself.....

Self.....

Why do I hang onto principle.....

Nobody else does.......

But never forget my young friend.....

When a man stands on principle.....

He often stands alone....

With his principle.....

And few that will agree or even stand with him.....

But when he stands with princple...

He stands.....

He never falls if he stands with principle.....

For principle stands alone.....

Continue to stand with your principle....

You might stand alone.....

For one is never alone....

When he is principled....

For princple may stand alone....

But......

She will always stand....
