Quotes

  • We had been friends. We could not become strangers. It left only one thing: we must be enemies.
  • Before you have faith you must believe, and before you believe there must be evidence of some sort to persuade the mind. Faith is remembering that evidence and holding to it against all that seems to challenge or contradict it.
  • You would always beat me; not so much because you are a better fighter as because you will not accept defeat.
  • The secret of success in battle lies often not so much in the use of one's own strength but in the exploitation of the other side's weaknesses.
