In seeking happiness for others, you find it for yourself.
Being right is highly overrated. Even a stopped clock is right twice a day.
Each time we face our fear, we gain strength, courage, and confidence in the doing.
Commitment in the face of conflict produces character.
"Nine out of the ten voices in my head say I'm not schizophrenic. The other one hums the melody of Tetris."
Serenity comes when you trade expectations for acceptance.
Mistakes are a great educator when one is honest enough to admit them and willing to learn from them.
Don't let today's disappointments cast a shadow on tomorrow's dreams.
It's not who you are that holds you back; it's who you think you're not.
What you do today is important, because you are exchanging a day of your life for it.
Don't think you're on the right road just because it's a well-beaten path.
It is not hard to make decisions when you know what your values are.
Instead of complaining that the rose bush is full of thorns, be happy the thorn bush has roses.
If you worry about what might be, and wonder what might have been, you will ignore what is.
1. We are born and we die. No one cares, no one remembers, and it doesn't matter. This is why we laugh.2. Our pack, our children, our territory, the hunt, the kill, the battle. Health, full stomach, sharp weapons, your packmates next to you under the stars, seeing your child kill her first prey. These are important.3. Anything else is needless complication, no matter how much fun it is.4. If you can't eat it, wear it, wield it, or carry it, leave it behind.5. Plan before hunting, discuss after hunting, hunt while hunting.6. Lead, follow, or hunt alone. Success-first meat of kill, greater trust. Failure-less trust. Disaster-survivors eat you.7. Expect trust outside the pack to be betrayed.8. Two are much stronger than one. Three are much stronger than two. Ten are barely stronger than nine. Fifty are much stronger than ten, but barely stronger than forty.9. An archer, a swordsman, and a scout are stronger than three swordsmen.10. Stay alive. Hopeless battles are hopeless. Dead is dead.11. Stay alive. Once you decide to kill, use all your skill, strength, and deception. Nobly dead is dead.12. Die biting the throat.
An honest answer is the sign of true friendship.
Put your future in good hands -- your own.
To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.
1. If the game is rigged so you can't win, find another game or invent your own.2. If you're not winning because you don't know the rules, learn the rules.3. If you know the rules but aren't willing to follow them, there's either something wrong with the game or you need to change something in yourself.4. Don't play the game in a half-baked way. Either get all the way in or all the way out.5. It shouldn't be necessary for others to lose in order for you to win. If others have to lose, re-evaluate the game's goals.(Breszny, 2005, pg. 84)
