My philosophical insights into the universe and life. If you hear me say such meaningful words like these, make sure to tell me so i can write them down.
 
  • Looking deep into one’s heart, one will not find his allies but his enemies.

  • Live everyday as if its your last; but love every love as if its your first.

  • More is always better except with friends and whiskey.

  • Its easier to row a boat facing backward but you can’t see where you are going. Life is the same way.

  • Two rules to live by: never start a fight but never back down when fighting is needed.

  • The fastest way into a woman’s heart is mystery. The fastest way out is jealousy.

  • It takes a thousand convincing characteristics to love someone but only a single flawed one to hate them.

  • Love is stronger than hate, for you can love what you have hated but you can never truly hate that which you have loved.

  • God is an imaginary friend which people use to thank for their success and to blame for their failures.

  • Time has two hands that never stop and a creative mind should follow it’s example.

  • Take note of every misfortune so they may serve you as a guide in the future.

  • The more watchful of others you are, the less time you have to spend watching yourself.

  • Fairness is an imaginary concept. Life does not know such boundaries and restrictions.

  • If a blind man had three eyes he still could not see.

  • A child has two breasts from which to feed but drinks from only one at a time.

  • Thoughts are emotions expressed logically.

  • Goals are most useful when they are impossible to reach.

  • Rainy days are good reminders to enjoy sunshine.

  • The best way to see in the dark is to avoid looking into the light.

  • The way to gain respect is to be modest and giving without becoming humble.

  • Kindness is the power of strong people who choose to allow others the privilege of happiness.

  • Arrogance is not only a feeling of superiority but treating those around you as inferior.

  • To gain that which you do not have is a greater motivation than to keep that which you have already attained. If you deprive yourself of happiness you will become a man with incomparable resolve.

  • To dream is to live a memory from a future you will never have.

  • For every happy memory you must pay karma double the price in sadness.

  • If you have only goals to define you, then when you have reached all of your goals, in definition, you will be nothing.

  • Being drunk is never an excuse. You simple act the way as you would sober if only your actions didn’t have consequences.

  • Inside every good man lies a constant battle between right and wrong. In evil men, the outcome has already been decided.

  • People who look at their feet when they walk never fall but they have no idea where they are going either.

  • A unicorn loses it’s magic once it is tamed.

  • Running on ice is like trying to achieve a poorly defined goal; you are moving really fast but you aren’t going anywhere.

  • Love is a complicated matter but to fall in love is simple.

  • The worst way to receive sympathy is to feel sorry for yourself.

  • The greatest test of a powerful man is to conceal his strength, not to prove himself.

  • Maturity is simply the ability to control yourself and to think rationally.

  • That which separates man from beast is the quest to find harmony in chaos and existence in oblivion.

  • Age is not a prerequisite for wisdom. Though wisdom is learned from experience, unique and insightful experiences are not limited to the seasoned man alone.

  • Knowledge is a double edge sword; the more you learn of what is already known the smaller your capacity for learning the unknown becomes.

  • There is no such thing as a selfless act. If you give without expecting recognition or reward it is still for personal satisfaction.

  • Justice is an ideal which the strong few choose to allow the weak many.

  • Those who will gain for strength are feared but only those who will sacrifice for virtue are truly fierce.

  • Reason may guide you in life but only a strong will can make you succeed.

  • Pain is a very diverse feeling. It can be the addition of something harmful or it can be the absence of something comforting.

  • Remember the past but live for the future, no matter how obscure from your design it may become.

  • Knowledge when combined with passion and integrity creates the most complete fortitude.

  • The measure of a man’s importance and impact in life is not determined by wealth or strength or accomplishment. A man is measured by his contribution to others, in particular, the people closest to him.

  • It is not age but sadness which robs us of our youth.

  • It is not enough to simply live, we must search for the moments that make us feel alive.

  • We can not control the future but we can control the present in which the future is derived.

  • If you carry the memories of those you have loved, then you will never be alone.

  • Hope is the lack of action from weak people trying to gain something they want. Determination is the action of the strong who do not rely on hope to succeed.

  • A man who turns his back on life should be feared for he is already dead and has no connection to this world.

  • A wise man judges himself before passing judgment on others.

  • Anger and rage are poor substitutes for true emotion.

  • It is not enough to conquer yourself, you must see to it that others can not conquer you as well.

  • We can not control the actions of others so we must focus on controlling ourselves.

  • To fight a battle with little chance of success is courageous, but to fight a battle with no chance of success is foolish.

  • We must be careful not to get lost in the maze of barriers we create to shield ourselves from pain.

  • A manipulative woman is like a brilliant rose, the beautiful pedals distract you from the sharp thorns.

  • Never trust a man’s words, only trust his actions.

  • Everyone has a purpose in life even if you’re not certain of what that may be.

  • Fear like, any other emotion, has its purpose but must be tempered with courage.

  • It is balance which keeps us from falling but imbalance which moves us forward.

  • The moon shines only by the grace of the sun.

  • Friendship and love are not without struggle but in the end the effort must not outweigh the reward.

  • Love is a complicated matter but to fall in love is simple.

  • Do not assume something is the way it seems. The true nature is often skewed by your personal thoughts and feelings creating a false vision.

  • The words of good men reveal their actions. The words of evil men conceal their intentions.

  • Many are those today who mistake sport and entertainment for true combat. Boxing, wrestling, kickboxing and mixed martial arts are all false recreations of the natural essence of battle. Combat, as it is born of the universe, does not have rules and regulations, supervisors and spectators, pride or prestige. There are only those who are victorious and those who are defeated. A passion for recognition and reward will never overcome a pure dedication to valor and victory.

  • A philosopher is nothing more then a translator, adapting the message born at the dawn of time to fit the needs of the human mind.

  • A mirror reflects one’s appearance just as every action reflects their virtue.

  • The how is easy to understand, it is the why that eludes us all.

  • Stubbornness should only be exceeded by passion.

  • Never advance when retreat is prudent. Likewise, never retreat when advance is favorable.
