Never give a sword to a man who can't dance.

Oh dear God, I was going down. There was no stopping it. Visions of broken necks danced in my head.

The superior man thinks only of virtue; the common man thinks only of comfort.

Our greatest glory is not in never falling but in rising every time we fall.

Worry not that no one knows of you; seek to be worth knowing.
