Vengeance is primitive; which is why only two species in the universe practice it: humans and animals.

It is better to carry mercy in your hands than bitterness in your heart.

It is possible to continue turning the other cheek when one has stopped counting.

Don’t mourn over the past; it has no pity for you. Don’t cry over the present, it has no sympathy for you, and I don’t weep the future, it has no mercy on you.

My words are my thesis, my actions are my dissertation, and my life is my philosophy.

Lessons, not blood, pour out of our deepest wounds.
