am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I am not bound to succeed but I am bound to live up to what light I have. I must stand with anybody that stands right, stand with him while he is right and part with him when he goes wrong. ---- Lincoln
Hong Kong SAR Government official translation:
I may not win, but I will be sincere act. I may not succeed, but I will maintain a consistent belief. I will stand side by side with anyone who has integrity. When he is right, I will support him; when he is wrong, I will definitely leave him.
Translation of "Ming Pao":
I do not seek victory, but I am determined to be sincere. I do not necessarily seek success, but I must be consistent in my words and deeds and implement them from beginning to end. I will stand side by side with honorable men, doing what I am and not what I am not.
Translation by Dong Qiao:
I may not always have a sure chance of winning, but I always conduct myself with sincerity. I may not succeed immediately, but I will never forget the truth in my heart. I should stand side by side with the upright people in the world, support them when I know they are right, and abandon them when I know they are wrong.
Hold no ill will to anyone, be generous to everyone, and uphold justice according to God’s guidance
