Await the issue

Carlyle

Await the issue. In all battles, if he await the issue, each fighter has prospered according to his right. He has fought with all his might, and in exact proportion to all his right he has prevailed. Fight on, thou brave, true heart; and falter not, through dark fortune and through bright. The cause thou fightest for, so far as it is true, no farther, yet precisely so far, is very sure of victory. The falsehood alone of it will be conquered, will be abolished, as it ought to be; but the truth of it is part of nature's own laws, cooperates with the world's eternal tendencies, and cannot be conquered.—Carlyle, "Past and Present."
