To become really good at anything, you have to practice and repeat, practice and repeat, until the technique becomes intuitive.
Paulo CoelhoWe must study things we will never use, but which someone told us were important to know.
Paulo CoelhoPlaying the part of a charitable soul was only for those who were afraid of taking a stand in life. It is always far easier to have faith in your own goodness than to confront others and fight for your rights. It is always easier to hear an insult and not retaliate than have the courage to fight back against someone stronger than yourself; we can always say we're not hurt by the stones others throw at us, and it's only at night - when we're alone and our wife or our husband or our school friend is asleep - that we can silently grieve over our own cowardice.
