The Collected Sayings

Do not fear strong men. Fear weak men; they will cause more
harm through their failures than the strong will ever cause by their successes.

–~*~–

While it is a truism that a man without fear is a man without hope, it is a truth that a man without hope is a man without fear.

–~*~–

All life is conflict; there is no peace this side of the grave.

–~*~–

The Truth will not set you free. Truth is a tyrant that will enslave you and cast you into a bondage more severe than any falsehood or ignorance could.

There are now more, eeyore.

It takes a while to post these. They’re things I’ve said many times over the course of my life but writing the explanations takes more than a bit of time.
