I have a high art: I hurt with cruelty those who would wound me.

We don't rise to the level of our expectations, we fall to the level of our training.

I have a high art, I hurt with cruelty those who would damage me.

The Fox knows many things-the hedgehog one big one.

Zeus, the father of the Olympic Gods, turned mid-day into night, hiding the light of the dazzling Sun; and sore fear came upon men.

Be brave, my heart. Plant your feet and square your shoulders to the enemy. Meet him among the man-killing spears. Hold your ground. In victory, do not brag; in defeat, do not weep.

And by a prudent flight and cunning save A life which valour could not, from the grave. A better buckler I can soon regain, But who can get another life again?

Take the joy and bear the sorrow, looking past your hopes and fears: learn to recognize the measured dance that orders all our years.

Let who will boast their courage in the field, I find but little safety from my shield, Nature's, not honour's law we must obey: This made me cast my useless shield away.

We will have taken one giant step forward when we face this reality: Powerful people never teach powerless people how to take their power away from them.

It does no good to be right, if what you're craving is wrong.

That was the best kind of story: when the teller was as much under its spell as the listener.

What really bothers me, what gets me mad, is when people don't know the story, but then pretend like they know the story. That's what bothers me. That's what makes me mad.

My prayer is to learn new things, imbibe fresh insights. You must not take life too seriously. You must enjoy the process of living.
