No one can take away the freedom of a man's soul.

Nothing of real worth can ever be bought. Love, friendship, honour, valour, respect. All these things have to be earned.

Old age is not as honorable as death, but most people seek it.

Do not speak badly of yourself, for the warrior that is inside you hears your words and is lessened by them.

A warrior feeds his body well; he trains it; works on it. Where he lacks knowledge, he studies. But above all he must believe. He must believe in his strength of will, of purpose, of heart and soul.

May all your dreams but one come true, for what is life without a dream?

There's no shame in fear. But understand this - the coward is ruled by fear, while the hero rides it like a wild stallion.

We make choices everyday, some of them good, some of them bad. And - if we are strong enough - we live with the consequences.

I may be stupid, as you say, to believe in honour and friendship and loyalty without price. But these are virtues to be cherished, for without them we are no more than beasts roaming the land.

For society, marriage is undoubtedly beneficial. But the burdens of civilized morality are too heavy for many to bear.

Your EYES not only see everything around you AS IS, but also PROJECT what you wish look in this world!

I get a sick joy out of bad reviews. I don't read good reviews.

I can't imagine having the courage to ask a publisher to do a whole book of my poems.

Good times are always where I am. I feel bored if I'm not there.

But the great leveler, Death: not even the gods can defend a man, not even one they love, that day when fate takes hold and lays him out at last.

Nothing is impossible to the man that can will. Is that necessary? That shall be. This is the only law of success.
