ferenA country singer named Aaron Tippin wrote a song, and in it he said, "You've got to stand for something or you'll fall for anything." Sometimes it is hard to know where to make your stand, or when to make it. Sometimes the penalty for doing so seems to vastly outweigh anything you've ever risked.
If there is anything to be said, I guess I would say this: Never regret your decision to stand. The cost of your conviction may be high, but never regret your decision to stand.

If you've never met an enemy you could feel proud of having, then you haven't been choosing big enough fights.

"Ooo eee, ooo ah ah ting tang
Walla walla, bing bang"
You distort the original meaning when you quote out of context like that. : )
