“What we spend, we lose. What we keep will be left for others. What we give away will be ours forever.”

“The only things we can keep are the things we freely give to God. What we try to keep for ourselves is just what we are sure to lose.”

“As we live, our hearts turn colder. Cause pain is what we go through, as we become older. We get insulted by others, lose trust for those others. We get back stabbed by friends. It becomes harder for us to give others a hand. We get our heart broken by people we love, even that we give them all we have. Then we lose family over time. What else could rust the heart more over time? Blackgold.”

“That’s what learning is, after all; not whether we lose the game, but how we lose and how we’ve changed because of it, and what we take away from it that we never had before, to apply to other games. Losing, in a curious way is winning.”

“What do we any of us have but our illusions? And what do we ask of others but that we be allowed to keep them?”

“The fact is that we don't want to be free. What is responsible for our problems is the fear of losing what we have and what we know.”
