Sometimes it’s not the times you decide to fight, but the times you decide to surrender—those are the decisions that can make all the difference. Those are the ones that can shape your story in history.

Forgive yourself for the lives that will be lost, but do not forget them. A good leader always recognizes that sacrifices must be made in order to win, but remembering or forgetting those who sacrificed themselves for your cause is what separates the tyrants from the benevolent.

Faith is for those who do not have the strength to stop what is to come! I have the strength. I have the power—You are not asking me to have faith—you are asking me to do nothing.

It shouldn’t matter what I say, but rather, how you feel—don’t listen to the words of people. Instead, listen to your heart. It doesn’t lie, and it is speaking just as loudly.

The largest fish in the river grew to its size, not because of its strength, but because it learned not to bite a baited hook.

Never lose faith. When the world rears its ugly face at you and shows you how truly despicable it can be, believe that there is still something worth saving beneath its darkness.
