Griboedov argued that his power was limited only by physical impossibility, but that in everything else a person can command himself completely and even make everything out of himself: “I say this because I experienced a lot on myself over myself. For example, in the last Persian campaign. During the battle, I happened to be with Prince Suvorov. The nucleus from the enemy battery hit near the prince, showered him with earth, and for the first moment I thought that he had been killed. The prince was only shell-shocked, but I felt an involuntary trembling and could not drive away the disgusting feeling of timidity. This offended me terribly. So I'm a coward at heart? The thought is unbearable for a decent person, and I decided, at whatever cost, to cure myself of timidity ... I wanted not to tremble in front of the cannonballs in view of death, and on the first occasion I stood in a place where shots were taken from an enemy battery. There I counted the shots that I myself had appointed, and then, quietly turning my horse, calmly rode away.
