Makesure you never, never argue at night. You just lose a good night's sleep, andyou can't settle anything until morning anyway.

A man of courage is also full of faith.

The lust for power in dominating others inflames the heartmore than any other passion.

You may give gifts without caring, but you can't care without giving

Search not a wound too deep lest thou maketh a new one.

Familiarize yourself with the chains of bondage and you prepare your own limbs to wear them.
