Do not fear so, here is one who would be a blade at your back. A shield across your breast. Here is kin, here is strength to lean upon, to share as you share in need.

There is no weapon in the end as difficult to overcome as the tongue of an enemy.

There's no night without stars.

As for courage and will - we cannot measure how much of each lies within us, we can only trust there will be sufficient to carry through trials which may lie ahead.

The knife flaying the elephant does not have to be large, only sharp!

Always the cat remains a little beyond the limits we try to set for him in our blind folly.

Victory belong to the most persevering.
