one Korean's short famous saying
今臣戰船尙有十二,出死力拒戰,則猶可爲也。
戰船雖寡,微臣不死,則賊不敢侮我矣。
지금 신에게는 아직 열두 척의 전선이 있사오니, 죽을 힘을 내어 적을 막아 싸운다면, 아직 할 수 있사옵니다
전선이 비록 그 수가 적으나, 미천한 신이 죽지 않은 한, 적은 감히 우리를 업신여기지 못할 것이옵니다.
At least I have dozen of battleship, if we confront before the enemy and fight at the risk of our life, there is a hope to prevent them.
Though our fleet has few ships to fight, the Enemy will never disdain us since I didn't die
-Yi Sun-shin(1545-1598), a Korean naval commander, sending a message to his king, facing around 300 ships of the Japanese fleet before a battle of Myeongnyang, which is one of the marvelous victories in Korean history during Japanese invade of Korea, also was a turning point of the war.
