Things happen, and nothing is for sure, but you just have to keep going, believing that one day, you'll find something that is.

What you withhold in this life will be withheld from you in the next.

Some only follow the holy man while others only follow the warlord. But the truth is, both sides are within all of us, and if people could only see that, they wouldn't have to wear masks, or pretend to be holy like a holy man, or pretend that nothing can hurt them like a warlord. They could just be themselves, unjudged.

The ignorance of the world often makes people believe that life should be black and white _ that you must choose sides _ and so the world of colourful gradients goes unadmired.

No matter what, don't live a life where you're too scared to die for what you believe in. Always go at it with everything you've got, even if it doesn't seem to be enough.

We are united by something greater and more valuable than our beliefs alone: the freedom to have those beliefs, and believe what we want without persecution - we must protect that at all costs.

Anything you don__ want to deal with can always be written off as being __n the past_ and ignored, but in doing so, you sweep it under a rug where it doesn't go away with time _ it becomes time itself, and takes on the illusion of life as we think we know it.

Just because someone is a keyholder, does not mean they will always help you unlock the door you want to go through _ no matter how much you think you deserve to go through it. Sometimes you just have to reach out and take it.

If you refuse to accept what is, and choose to see what could be, then you set a course for yourself that makes others take notice of you, respect you, revere you. It is then that they become objects of your destiny instead of you playing a support role in theirs.

The most fulfilling adventures happen when you start your journey without knowing where you__e going, because only then are you free to experience the unexpected detours you__e meant to take.

Every man walks his own path, and every path has its fair share of locked doors. You never know who holds the key to a door you__l need to open one day, so you best treat people as if they are all keyholders.

We are not slaves of the past, nor servants of the present, but masters of the future.

If you think you know what your purpose is, but can never seem to gain satisfaction from it, then it__ probably not the purpose you__e destined for.

When all seems hopeless and all has gone silent, that__ Destiny turning down the music so that all may hear our response to life__ great storms, giving our response the chance to echo throughout eternity with the level of greatness it deserves.

The path of destiny is not always paved smooth with gold.

Love is not a purpose, it__ a paradox; it__ not an end-goal, it__ an auxiliary fuel source to help get there.

What seems like a flaw is merely our higher consciousness telling us we're not looking at it in the right light yet.

Sometimes it's best to trade an ideal for something more practical that you can guarantee.
