“No life is short that gives a man time to slay himself.”

“For life makes no mistakes and always gives man that which man first gives himself.”

“For Man's grim Justice goes its way,
And will not swerve aside:
It slays the weak, it slays the strong,
It has a deadly stride:
With iron heel it slays the strong,
The monstrous parricide!”

“I’ll keep it short and sweet - Family. Religion. Friendship. These are the three demons you must slay if you wish to succeed in business.”

“Because Father said clocks slay time. He said time is dead as long as it is being clicked off by little wheels; only when the clock stops does time come to life.”

“Man’s main task is to give birth to himself.”

“The life-giving Spirit is the very one who slays you; the first thing the life-giving Spirit says is that you must enter into death, that you must die to – it is this way in order that you many not take Christianity in vain. A life-giving Spirit – that is the invitation; who would not willingly take hold of it! But die first – that is the halt!”

“A man who gives a good account of himself is probably lying, since any life when viewed from the inside is simply a series of defeats.”

“Life is not so short but that there is always time enough for courtesy.”

“You survived not to live on
your time is short, you have to give a proof of truth”
