Love is a fine cushion to rest upon, but only hate can make you a better person.

Good steel bends, but never breaks. Good steel stays always sharp and ready. Good steel feels no pain, no pity, and above all, no remorse

But you can't truly hate a man without loving him first, and there's always a trace of that love left over.

Sometimes it doesn't matter too much what choice you make, as long as you make it quick and stick to it.

The fool strikes. The wise man smiles, and watches, and learns. Then strikes.

Thinking about how they’ll dodge the blame, or grab the glory, or save their skins, rather than about what will actually work There’s no job that forgives stupidity more than soldiering. No job that encourages it more.
