hope for the best, prepare for the worst
Revenge is self-defeating. It will eat away you until there is nothing left.
Anyone can give up; it is the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone would expect you to fall apart, now that is true strength.
Only by binding together as a single force will we remain strong and unconquerable.
A single tree doesn't make a forest.
Even monkeys fall from trees.
