Not sure how historically correct this video is but it is very inspiring.
Might does not always prevail against a smaller, lesser-armed, force.
Reminds me of "The Battle of Thermopylae" but "The Battle of Tsushima" had a more positive outcome for the defenders.

In the 2006 BBC Robin Hood TV series Robin (Jonas Armstrong) says:
"For every man there is a purpose which he sets up in his life. Let yours be the doing of all good deeds."
Robin attributes the quote to The Qur’an. I've not been able to find the quote but very nice words.
