- Attend to the day, but aim at the highest good. Now, your trajectory is heavenward. That makes you hopeful.
- Life is suffering. That’s clear. There is no more basic, irrefutable truth. It’s basically what God tells Adam and Eve, immediately before he kicks them out of Paradise.
- Don’t hide baby monsters under the carpet. They will flourish. They will grow large in the dark. Then, when you least expect it, they will jump out. You will descend into an indeterminate, confusing hell, instead of ascending into the heaven of virtue and clarity.
- “And if you think tough men are dangerous, wait until you see what weak men are capable of.”
- To stand up straight with your shoulders back is to accept the terrible responsibility of life, with eyes wide open.
- “You're going to pay a price for every bloody thing you do and everything you don't do. You don't get to choose to not pay a price. You get to choose which poison you're going to take. That's it.”
