Endeavor to persevere.
Josey: Well, dying isn't much of a way of livin'.
"We thought about it for a long time, 'Endeavor to persevere.' And when we had thought about it long enough, we declared war on the Union." ... "I didn't surrender, but they took my horse and made him surrender. They have him pulling a wagon up in Kansas I bet."
I love that movie. RIP, Chief Dan George
