"There is one rule standing above all others, for being a man. Whatever comes, face it on your feet."

"Death comes to us all; we can only choose how to face it when it comes."

"Almost dead yesterday, maybe dead tomorrow, but alive, gloriously alive, today."

"Men forget, but never forgive; women forgive, but never forget. Never prod at woman, unless you must, she will kill you faster than a man and for less reason. Even if she weeps over it after.”
