He who strikes first has lost the debate of intellect.

Battles are decided before they are fought.

In war there is never a winner, only victims.

Your not as old as you feel. Your as old as you think.

Fire is best fought with water, not fire.

Revenge is a dish best not served.

Forgiveness shows strength, not weakness.

Only cowards hide from truth. An honest heart carries a proud head.

Life changes us all. Many friends come and go. Family can be good and bad. Those who can’t tolerate change in us are not companions for life.

A duty shared is less than halved. A victory shared is more than doubled.

It ill behooves most of us to see the worst in the rest of us. True greatness always looks to the silver lining in any cloud.

Tolerance begets peace. Hate begets wars.

Life’s plan is what you make it, there is NO template whatsoever.

Once your a parent you will understand this, your now only a memory for them. That is your only real legacy to this world.

Parents are protectors not owners.

Children learn faster, they’re worth listening to.

We experience emotion no matter what. We have feelings as we choose. Our feelings are influenced by our emotions. Our actions are influenced by our feelings. You decide on your actions despite your mood.

Due to body language and your actions over time, less than a quarter of what you say comes from your mouth.

Good and evil are determined by ones point of view.

Your born with a monopoly on your truth and zero right to establish any truth for another. No one has a right to impose their truth on you.

Everytime you let your own heart down your soul dies some. Will comes from the soul. The mind makes it happen. Reason complicates.

There is no stronger force in mankind than willpower. Mother nature has attacked it more than once.

Love gives us peace.
