David GemmellTrust your instincts, and make judgements on what your heart tells you. The heart will not betray you.
David GemmellDo not speak badly of yourself, for the warrior that is inside you hears your words and is lessened by them.
David GemmellA warrior feeds his body well; he trains it; works on it. Where he lacks knowledge, he studies. But above all he must believe. He must believe in his strength of will, of purpose, of heart and soul.
