“You can't have pride without humility. Aggression without tolerance. Strength without compassion. Power without restraint.”

“It is impossible without humility to enjoy anything - even pride.”

“And power without compassion is the worst kind of evil there is.”

“You couldn't have strength without weakness, you couldn't have light without dark, you couldn't have love without loss”

“Where in this wide world can a person find nobility without pride, friendship without envy or beauty without vanity? Here, where grace is laced with muscle and strength by gentleness confined. He serves without servility, he has fought without enmity. There is nothing so powerful, nothing less violent; there is nothing so quick, nothing more patient.”

“Our world cannot be complete without you, and without hearing what you have to say. True justice cannot exist without compassion; compassion cannot exist without understanding. But no one will understand you unless you speak, and are able to speak clearly (Sister Janet to the students, page 155).”
