Wars come and go, but my soldiers live forever.
Crying and groaning is a natural thing, an escape valve to make sure all the accumulated feelings, sadness, can be expelled from the system: it's a deep cleansing. Every men and woman should learn to cry perfectly.
And to enjoy it! It's so refreshing, it lightens you up!
And after crying, not only do your eyes become fresh, but all your being becomes pure, simple, innocent.
You go back to have the verginity you once had and that you've now lost... you return to being unblemished.
After a good cry you fell like after you've had a good bath, almost as if the soul has just had a shower.
Knowledge itself is power.
Millions of people suffer: they want to be loved but they don't know how to love.
And love cant exist as a monologue; it's a dialogue full of harmony.
Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted.
Every existing thing is born without reason, prolongs itself out of weakness and dies by chance.
What is absolutely impossible is to not have a choice.
In the bright realm of values, we have no excuse behind us, nor justification before us. We are alone, with no excuses.
If a lion could talk, we could not understand him.
Give thy thoughts no tongue,
Nor any unproportioned thought his act.
Be thou familiar but by no means vulgar.
Those friends thou hast, and their adoption tried,
Grapple them unto thy soul with hoops of steel,
But do not dull thy palm with entertainment
Of each new-hatched, unfledged comrade. Beware
Of entrance to a quarrel, but being in,
Bear 't that th' opposèd may beware of thee.
Give every man thy ear but few thy voice.
Take each man's censure but reserve thy judgment.
Costly thy habit as thy purse can buy,
But not expressed in fancy--rich, not gaudy,
For the apparel oft proclaims the man,
And they in France of the best rank and station
Are of a most select and generous chief in that.
Neither a borrower nor a lender be,
For loan oft loses both itself and friend,
And borrowing dulls the edge of husbandry.
This above all: to thine own self be true,
And it must follow, as the night the day,
Thou canst not then be false to any man.
