If you have a choice between extra makeup or extra weapons always take the weapons. Just the fact that you're debating between those two choices proves that you're going to need the weapons more.

A certain type of man, when he loves for the first time, his love is not really love, it is possession. Possessions don't have rights or feelings; they are something to owned and controlled. He had spent more than a year trying to do just that, and failing.

The rule is that if they have a weapon and want to take you someplace else, it is so they can kill you slower--Peter

If you only believe when it's easy, you don't really believe.

Every ruler should strive for his people to love him. But if they cannot love you, then make them fear you. Love is better, but fear will do the job.

If your life works, and you work in it, then it’s okay, whatever is happening is okay.
