“We must kill the guard before we can enter the palace.”
“Happiness is like those palaces in fairytales whose gates are guarded by dragons: We must fight in order to conquer it.”
“We must be silent before we can listen. We must listen before we can learn. We must learn before we can prepare. We must prepare before we can serve. We must serve before we can lead.”
“All changes, even the most longed for, have their melancholy; for what we leave behind us is a part of ourselves; we must die to one life before we can enter another.”
“I don’t think man was meant to attain happiness so easily. Happiness is like those palaces in fairy tales whose gates are guarded by dragons: we must fight in order to conquer it.”
“We must be our own before we can be another's.”
