“If you ask the lion to protect from from wolves, you have only chosen to end in one belly instead of another.”

“The lion cannot protect himself from traps, and the fox cannot defend himself from wolves. One must therefore be a fox to recognize traps, and a lion to frighten wolves.”

“If you have not chosen the kingdom of God first, it will in the end make no difference what you have chosen instead.”

“You have not chosen one another, but I have chosen you for one another.”

“Often the greatest act of courage is admitting that one has made a mistake. [...] Follow your hearts. Protect one another, trust one another, because, at the end of the day, all of these people want something from you, or want you to do something for them, or be something that you are not. Your own responsibility is to one another.”

“You talk to me as if from a distance And I reply with impressions chosen from another time.”
