“Anyone who isn’t strong is left in a corner, no one asks for their autograph, they are abandoned in the cold shadows. Those who win, however, become icons.”

“I am not one of those who left the land
to the mercy of its enemies.
Their flattery leaves me cold,
my songs are not for them to praise.”

“Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can.”

“The weak have one weapon: the errors of those who think they are strong.”

“You should never ask anyone for anything. Never- and especially from those who are more powerful than yourself.”

“Those who forgive themselves and are able to accept their real nature, they are the strong ones.”

“No one respects a man who is always apologizing and backpedaling. No one respects a man who is always asking for permission. No one respects a man who won't stand up for himself or fight for his own interests. No one wants to cheer for a team that stopped playing to win. Most people would agree that men who don't play to win deserve to lose.”

“The delusion of invincibility can never grow up in the mind of anyone except one who has never met a strong antagonist.”

“The truth of what I have so often inculcated, that it is the "steady, painstaking, likely-to-do-good" man who in the long run wins the race against those who now and then give a brilliant flash and, as Shakespeare says, "straight are cold again."”

“Everyone has wins and losses within the realm of love. However, sometimes a win becomes a loss, and most of the time, a loss becomes a win. But neither are ever absolute.”
