Lord Twig Posted July 13, 2021 Report Share Posted July 13, 2021 Wisdom from The Sphinx: "You must be like the wolf pack... not like the six-pack." "You must lash out with every limb, like the octopus who plays the drums." "Learn to hide your strikes from your opponent and you'll more easily strike his hide." "When you can balance a tack hammer on your head, you will head off your foes with a balanced attack." "He who questions training only trains himself at asking questions." "Do not go there, my son! When you doubt your powers, you give power to your doubts." "We are number one! All others are number two, or lower." "Sometimes, the true hero is the one with the courage to run away." wcw43921, Pariah, Lawnmower Boy and 2 others 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcw43921 Posted August 22, 2022 Report Share Posted August 22, 2022 "I'm not doing this because I want to beat someone, or because I hate someone, or because I want to blame someone. It's not because it's fun and God knows it's not because it's easy. It's not even because it works, because it hardly ever does. I do what I do because it's right! Because it's decent. And above all--it's kind. It's just that. Just kind. "If I run away today, good people will die. If I stand and fight, some of them might live--maybe not many, maybe not for long. Hey, maybe there's no point in any of this at all, but it's the best I can do, and I will stand here doing it until it kills me."--Doctor Who Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
