We must be warriors in the struggle against ignorance

Those who have something to say accept the fact that that's lonely. One already knows that there will be adversaries.

Time itself is an individual gift. It is wise to cherish it carefully and give it away generously.

I was told many years ago by my grandmother who raised me: If somebody puts you on a road and you don't feel comfortable on it and you look ahead and you don't like the destination and you look behind and you don't want to return to that place, step off the road.

I believe that one can never leave home. I believe that one carries the shadows, the dreams, the fears and the dragons of home under one's skin, at the extreme corners of one's eyes and possibly in the gristle of the earlobe.

Never whine. Whining lets a brute know that a victim is in the neighborhood.

Exchange love for hate...Thereby, making the present comfortable and the future promising.
