Vaclav Havel

The real test of a man is not when he plays the role that he wants for himself, but when he plays the role destiny has for him.

"Any skill is meaningful only when it is used at the right time.

Otherwise it will become a flaw."

Ye Xiu, The King's Avatar

Ye Xiu, Quanzhi Gaoshou

Words of wisdom from Master Ye Xiu of Quanzhi Gaoshou manhua (anime):

"Good health is the foundation of everything."

"It's easy to find the starting point, but hard to reach the end."

"Opportunities are always available. As long as you are willing to contribute."

A national leader

Among the many obligations of a national leader is the primary one of communicating to his people his perceptions of their destiny.

- Ferdinand Marcos, 

In search of alternatives: The Third World in an Age of Crisis

Summit

First, you have to exactly know what your dream is. You have to visualize that. You have to imagine yourself reaching that goal. When you know where your summit is, where the top of your mountain is, then focus on one step after the other. Otherwise, you get overwhelmed with the whole path.

- Liza Andrea Kuster, Miss Earth Switzerland

Dreamers, part 12

It’s easy for you, you are Joy, it’s in your nature to be happy and content. I’m given far too much towards brooding about things. I cannot help it.

--The First Muse

No one knows what lies beyond the here and now. Perhaps it is for the best.

--Dream

Love played no part in this, and she was quite sure that he need not mean anything to her, for there was no danger from the lack of him.

--Muse, part 12



We are Immortal, not invincible.
--Wisdom, part 12



Apparently, the solitary life isn’t healthy.
--Muse, part 12

And it will tear apart your soul.
