About This Quote
A warrior is defined by his scars, not his medals. The list of people who have achieved great things in our world is long and impressive, but I think it's safe to say that no one gets the respect they deserve without having to pay the price. That price might be something as simple as a scar or as deadly as death. A scar is just that, a reminder that you had to be brave enough to go through something terrible in order to grow stronger.
A medal just tells you how many times you were wounded, but it doesn't show you how much you overcame your wounds. At the end of the day, only one thing truly matters: how much courage and determination you possess.
