Dwarven vow number sixteen: You can do anything if you try.

[That probably doesn't mean as much to Angelo as it does to him, but after being roommates for so long, Angelo's probably heard him say it a few times. Lloyd turns his head so he can look Angelo in the eyes.]

You know what the most important part of that is? It's trying. It's not giving up even when things are hard, or when it looks like you'll lose or get hurt. It's not letting anyone else control what you do. Maybe you won't win, but you'll definitely lose if you don't try.
