Reliance upon others is a weakness for the strong but strength for the weak. Wisdom and balance lie in knowing your nature over time.

“Vengeance does not dull pain. It sustains it... forever.”

“But I’ve realized now… as long as I’m bein’ myself, I’ll always have somewhere I can fit in.”

“You don't have to save the world to find meaning in life... Sometimes, all you need is something simple, like someone to take care of.”

“It's more important to master the cards you're holding than to complain about the ones your opponents were dealt.”

“I survived because the fire inside burned brighter than the fire around me. I fell down into that dark chasm, but the flame burned on and on.”

“The more things change, the more they stay the same. Boundaries shift, new players step in; but power always finds a place to rest its head.”

“Hatred and prejudice will never be eradicated. And the witch hunts will never be about witches. To have a scapegoat, that's the key.”

“Ain't no such thing as civilized. It's man so in love with greed, he has forgotten himself and found only appetites.”

“Time is a scary thing. When you lose it, you can’t find it. When you want it, it’s not there. When you try to keep it, the hourglass turns itself around.”

“It's a funny thing, ambition. It can take one to sublime heights or harrowing depths. And sometimes they are one and the same.”

“The people never have the power, only the illusion of it. And here is the real secret: they don't want it. The responsibility is too great to bear. It's why they are so quick to fall in line as soon as someone else takes charge. They WANT to be told what to do. They YEARN for it. Little wonder that, since all mankind was BUILD to SERVE.”
