We live a short enough time on this earth. A man should do what he loves.
It is not an act of bravery to try to save your own village. It is an instinct to protect what you possess. Bravery is when you step in to help when you have nothing to lose.
Success is not handed to you. You must work hard for it and you must never dishonor what you’ve achieved.
To have strength without knowing how to use it means nothing.
Don’t you think every face tells its own story? Like a book? More like a poem. If you study it long enough, you’ll soon find its meaning.
Nothing ever stands still, and neither should you.
Beauty exists where you least expect to find it.
The eyes mirror the heart of a person. An entire life can be seen through them. Love, sorrow, deceit, pain. If you look closely, it’s all there.
Just remember, Every day of your lives, you must always be sure what you’re fighting for.
I also find doing the mundane, everyday things in life has a calming, creative influence on me. Some of my best ideas come when I'm vacuuming or waiting in lines.
