You did something because it had always been done, and the explanation was “but we’ve always done it this way.” A million dead people can’t have been wrong, can they?
You couldn’t put off the inevitable. Because sooner or later, you reached the place when the inevitable just went and waited.
You can die for your country or your people or your family, but for a god you should live fully and busily, every day of a long life.
You can always find an excuse that your side will accept, and who cares what the enemy thinks? In the real world, it wouldn’t make any difference.
WORDS IN THE HEART CAN NOT BE TAKEN.
Words have always had the power to change the world.
Words are the litmus paper of the mind. (If you find yourself in the power of someone who will use the word ‘commence’ in cold blood, go somewhere else very quickly. But if they say ‘Enter’, don’t stop to pack.)
Words are important. And when there is a critical mass of them, they change the nature of the universe.
Witches were a bit like cats. They didn’t much like one another’s company, but they did like to know where all the other witches were, just in case they needed them.
Wisdom is one of the few things that looks bigger the further away it is.
Winners never talk about glorious victories. That’s because they’re the ones who see what the battlefield looks like afterward. It’s only the losers who have glorious victories.
Why mess about with a cunning plan when a simple one will do?
