“I am not bound to win but i am bound to be true”-Abraham Lincoln

I think this quote pretty much just talks about trustworthiness.this pretty much says that thru it all as long as you have trust it's better than winning. It's better to know that instead of winning and being accused of cheating ,you lost but they know that you told the truth and that you were true to yourself as a good person.you as a person know when you are going to lie and when you will say the truth therefore you know and can make it happen to always tell the truth but the one thing that you can not control in my eyes is that you really never know when you will either win or lose in things. So you never will really know if you are bound to win you will probably only know when you are bound to tell the truth.this quote shows a lot of character in a person because it tells you that you as a person will always know to tell the truth .an example would be playing a game,lf you know that you will try your best and tell the truth and not cheat you are bound to be true but if you plan on cheating then in that case you know that you will be bound win. And winning should be the one thing that you don't know will happen.
