You've got to pick your battles, Pen, but then fight to the death for the ones that matter.

About This Quote

The idea of “only picking your battles” is an admirable one but, in the real world, that’s not how things are. When you pick your battles, you leave yourself open to being taken advantage of. When you fight to the death for the ones that matter, you are putting all your energy into just one battle. You are taking no chances; you are risking nothing.

But when you fight to the death for the ones that matter, you’re giving all of yourself and putting it to use. You’re trusting in your own strength and ability to protect what matters most.
