In wars, boy, fools kill other fools for foolish causes.
Even fools say something worthwhile now and again. Even a blind pig finds an acorn sometimes.
You can never know everything, and part of what you know is always wrong. Perhaps even the most important part. A portion of wisdom lies in knowing that. A portion of courage lies in going on anyway.
Respond to demands with silence, respond to challenges with questions.
In war, you say a prayer for your dead and ride on, because there is always another fight over the next horizon.
If you plan for the worst, all surprises are pleasant.
If wishes were wings, sheep would fly.
Do not trouble trouble till trouble troubles you.
Anyone who claimed that old age had brought them patience was either lying or senile.
Your body is only clothing. Your flesh will wither, but you are your heart and mind, and they do not change except to grow stronger.
You read too much and understand too little.
You have made a place in my heart where I thought there was no room for anything else. You have made flowers grow where I cultivated dust and stones. Remember this, on this journey you insist on making. If you die, I will not survive you long.
