Hcmibw Hcn-¡ Â ]d-bp-I-bp-­mbn: "Do you want the

fragrance of the full blown rose? If so, you must accept the

thorns. Do you want the sweetness of the smiling dawn? If

so, you must live through the darkness of the night. Do you

want the joy of liberty and the solace of freedom? If so, you

must pay the price. And the price of liberty is suffering and

sacrifice.'
