The Creator made women so men would not find life too easy.
Taking responsibility drained all the joy out of life and dried a man to dust.
Take what you can have. Rejoice in what you can save, and do not mourn your losses too long.
Storms rumble beyond the horizon, and the fires of heaven purge the earth. There is no salvation without destruction, no hope this side of death.
Sometimes, pain is all that lets you know you’re alive.
Sometimes you had to laugh if only to keep from crying.
Sometimes six and six make a dozen, and sometimes they make a mess.
Some men choose to seek greatness, while others are forced to it. It is always better to choose than to be forced. A man who’s forced is never completely his own master. He must dance on the strings of those who forced him.
So long as we do not depend on the facts entirely, incomplete knowledge is better than complete ignorance.
Small things were important. Seconds were small things, and if you heaped enough of those on top of one another, they became a man’s life.
Small hopes can grow surprising fruit.
Run when you have to, fight when you must, rest when you can.
