Go to the battlefield firmly confident of victory and you will come home with no wounds whatsoever.

Engage in combat fully determined to die and you will be alive; wish to survive in the battle and you will surely meet death.

Those who cling to life die, and those who defy death live.

Wars are to be won with swords and spears, not with rice and salt.

Peace is achieved with rice and salt, not with katanas and arrows

Blessed are the peacemakers

I still believe this Life is a good joke. And if you treat it that way, you will never stop laughing.

Charity is that with which no man is lost, and without which no man is saved.

I don't need someone with a hot body. He can be fat or overweight and have a belly. It's very much about style and substance and humor, interest, curiosity and really being smart.

You know being relevant or coming up with something interesting, funny to say about what's current is just as hard as it might ever be depending on the serendipity of it all.

I firmly believe that the future of civilization is absolutely dependent upon finding some way of resolving international differences without resorting to war.

I believe in currently unexplainable things, magic can get dicey.

Education doesn't just take place in stuffy classrooms and university buildings, it can happen everywhere, every day to every person.

If you're a fiction writer, though, I can tell you how to let people talk through you. Listen. Just be quiet, and listen. Let the character talk. Don't censor, don't control. Listen, and write.

I really admire police officers, surgeons, or anyone who works in high stressed situations.
