History is littered with dead good men

Strange, how the best moments of our lives we scarcely notice except in looking back.

Fearlessness is a fool's boast, to my mind. The only men with no fear in them are dead, or the soon to be dead, maybe. Fear teaches you caution, and respect for your enemy, and to avoid sharp edges used in anger. All good things in their place, believe me. Fear can bring you out alive, and that's the very best anyone can hope for from any fight. Every man who's worth a damn feels fear. It's the use you make of it that counts.

Savor the little moments, son, that's my advice. They're what life is. All the little things that happen while you're waiting for something else.

You don’t pick your family, you take what you’re given and you make the best of it.

Fear has made them sloppy. The world teeters at a precipe. All scared to take a step in case they put a foot into empty air. The instinct of self-preservation. It can destroy a man's efficiency.
