“Suppressed grief suffocates, it rages within the breast, and is forced to multiply its strength.”

“What is the devotion if there is no temptation which is master on their own? The man is not God and his strength is just in that to suppress its nature, if there is nothing to suppress what's the difference? ”

“Friendships multiply joys and divide griefs.”

“Perpetual Optimism is a Force Multiplier.”

“Joy multiplies when it is shared among friends, but grief diminishes with every division. That is life.”

“...maybe strength in the 21st century isn't about dominance....it's about the capacity to evoke....the ability to spark the enduring bonds of shared values, intrinsic motivation, and mutually committed perseverance. It is, in short, not the power merely to command, subordinate, demean, insult — and then crow about it with impunity. It's the power to inspire, animate, infuse, spark, evoke — and then connect, link, and collaborate, to be a force multiplier.”
