“I am not bound to win, but I am bound to be true. I must stand with anybody that stands right, and stand with him while he is right, and part with him when he goes wrong.” -Abraham Lincoln
This quote means that you need to know when it is the right to stand by someone's side and when it is wrong. If you are friends with someone who is choosing the right then you will also choose the right. This will lead you to great things together since you are both choosing the correct path way. If you are friends with someone who is choosing the wrong then you will also choose the wrong. This will lead you to faces consequences together since you are both going down the wrong path way. You need to be able to identify when it is the right and wrong time to stand by someone's side.
There are many examples of how who side you choose to stand by can affect your future. For example, if a friend tells you to not do your homework and you don't do it then it will affect your both. You will both get bad grades for not completing it and that will eventually catch up to you both. Another example would be a friend asking you if you can both study together for an upcoming test, this again will affect you both. You will both score good grades on the test for study and trying your best. This is basically what I understood from this quote by Abraham Lincoln.
