“To ask the meaning of life is silly, with rhetorical rhetoric. Life is the meaning.”

“Isn't a smile or hug more disarming than a title or pen?”

“Amidst a symphony of entropic cascades, each and every drop still has enough gravity to make lightning or life.”

“If not built on integrity, distrust crumbles mansions like sand.Similarly, if love is not built on the honest indignity of friendship, it is like a mansion built on sand, bent to be crumbled and washed away.”

“If integrity was legal, honesty would be a crime.”

“Promoting pathology beneath neurosis to instill victimization is propoganda.”

“If you have someone to love, something to do, and something to hope for, your life is better than most battle.”

“Cleaning and breathing rival the practice of gardening or reading in their passive difficulty.”

“Every guard and every weapon have one weakness in common, and that is who wields them.”

“Ethically, with calculitic capitalism, a leader would claim wisdom, when punishment is justified, by showing restraint, & calling it grace, instead of humility, in gratitude of Powers beyond comprehension, such as Fate.”

“Help me to help you consider and appreciate your worst of nightmares and best of dreams.”

“The only shameless glory that rivals grace is unconditional love.”

“Imitations are not flattering. Nobody likes feeling like an option,”

“Similar to the best soldier being the most disciplined, seasoned teacher's know that they are also students. In my opinion, this is where soldiers shine, especially in comparison to domestic law enforcement. Making every one feel like a chief does not leave many who care to listen.”

“Just because teachers aren't better than students does not mean students are better than teachers.”

“Patience usually requires a little apathy.”

“Learn from the mistakes of others. Nobody could take the time nor hardship to survive them alone.”

“Even if you listen to all the advice from your parents, friends, teachers, and mentors, if you don't end up happy, you still have nobody to blame. Nobody's perfect.”

“Do not shoot. Please.If you are convinced that you are not a liar, you probably analyze every one, instead of evaluating nothing. Questions are the most effective advertisements.”
