"Better a diamond with a flaw than a pebble without." The Analects of Confucius
In love, no one can harm anyone else; we are each responsible for our own feelings and cannot blame someone else for what we feel. The Alchemist
Everywhere soldiering entails the same busily empty monotony; hour after hour is mapped out in accordance with inflexible, antediluvian regulations, and even one's leisure does not seem to offer much in the way of variety. In the officers' mess the same faces, the same conversation; at the cafe the same games of cards and billiards. Beware of Pity
Don’t give in to your fears. If you do, you won’t be able to talk to your heart The Alchemist
