--The worst kind of evil is self-justified

--No one plays chess to take pawns

--Selfishness is a virtue, everything living thing is the result of it

--The best things in life are earned; the best things in life are free

--Your energy is like a muscle, you have to work it constantly to make it work better and longer

--People who constantly feel the need to make you afraid are themselves always afraid

--Always play for the checkmate, not the check

--Being a kid is loving and experiencing magic; being an adult is knowing how
the "magic" works and knowing you'll never truly experience it again
