“The man of knowledge must be able not only to love his enemies but also to hate his friends.”

Love is a state in which a man sees things most decidedly as they are not.

The higher we soar the smaller we appear to those who cannot fly.

And once you are awake, you shall remain awake eternally.

All things are subject to interpretation. Whichever interpretation prevails at a given time is a function of power and not truth.

Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings — always darker, emptier and simpler.

Sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth because they don’t want their illusions destroyed.

The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything.

Blessed are the forgetful, for they get the better even of their blunders.

A thought, even a possibility, can shatter and transform us.

I would believe only in a God that knows how to dance.

That which does not kill us makes us stronger.

Today as always, men fall into two groups: slaves and free men.

He who fights with monsters should look to it that he himself does not become a monster.

I know of no better life purpose than to perish in attempting the great and the impossible.

We should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once.

What is the seal of liberation? Not to be ashamed in front of oneself.

Farewell, my friends! farewell, my foes! My peace with these, my love with those. The bursting tears my heart declare; Farewell, the bonnie banks of Ayr.

The Enemy is overcome by the blessed Passion and Death of our Lord Jesus Christ.

If you have no enemies, find a way to make them.

Our biggest enemy is our own self-doubt. We really can achieve extraordinary things in our lives. But we sabotage our greatness because of our fear

Lord, protect me from my friends; I can take care of my enemies.

I would not kill my enemies, but I will make them get down on their knees. I will, I can, I must.

The struggle to save the global environment is in one way much more difficult than the struggle to vanquish Hitler, for this time the war is with ourselves. We are the enemy, just as we have only ourselves as allies.

Don’t prepare. Begin. Our enemy is not lack of preparation. The enemy is resistance, our chattering brain producing excuses. Start before you are ready.
