Life is not about the breaths you take, but the moments that take your breath away.

Good and evil both increase at compound interest. The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of. An apparently trivial indulgence in lust or anger today is the loss of a ridge or railway line or bridgehead from which the enemy may launch an attack otherwise impossible.

To see the true character of a person
judge them not by how they treat those they love,
but how they treat those they hate.
