but there's no nation uncorrupted. there's no system that's immune to the misuse of money.
Gregory David Roberts
It isn't a secret, unless keeping it hurts.
Gregory David Roberts
So when will be the time to get on the train? I think.....a little bit almost quite very soon and not long.
Gregory David Roberts
Praising people behind their back is monstrously unfair, because the one thing you can't defend yourself against is the good that people say about you.
Gregory David Roberts
Heroes only come in three kinds:dead, damaged or dubious.
Gregory David Roberts
I went to war. .... I survived, while other men around me died. ... men whose lives were crunched up in mistakes, and thrown away by the wrong second of someone else's hate, or love, or indifference.
Gregory David Roberts
I think the future is like anything else that's important. It has to be earned. If we don't earn it, we don't have a future at all. And if we don't earn it, we don't deserve it, we have to live in the present, more or less forever. Or worse, we have to live in the past. I think that's probably what love is - a way of earning the future.

And money, if the pile gets high enough, is something like a big political party: it does as much harm as it does good, it puts too much power in too few hands, and the closer you come to it the dirtier you get.
Gregory David Roberts
The only power that has any real meaning is the power to better the world.
Gregory David Roberts
One, what would happen if everyone did this thing? Two, would this help or hinder the movement toward universal ultimate complexity?
Gregory David Roberts
I still love you. And sometimes, my friend, the love that I have, and can't give to you, crushes the breath from my chest. Sometimes, even now, my heart is drowning in a sorrow that has no stars without you, and no laughter, and no sleep.
Gregory David Roberts
People say that love is the best thing in the world not power. But they are wrong. Love is the opposite of power and that's why we fear it so much.
Gregory David Roberts
Fate gives all of us three teachers, three friends, three enemies, and three great loves in our lives. But these twelve are always disguised, and we can never know which one is which until we’ve loved them, left them, or fought them.
Gregory David Roberts
You know the difference between news and gossip, don't you? News tells you what people did. Gossip tells you how much they enjoyed it.
Gregory David Roberts
Fate always gives you two choices, the one you should take, and the one you do.
Gregory David Roberts
when you judge the power that is in a person, you must judge their capacities as both friend and as enemy.
Gregory David Roberts
Sometimes we love with nothing more than hope. Sometimes we cry with everything except tears.
Gregory David Roberts
Some feelings sink so deep into the heart that only loneliness can help you find them again. Some truths are so painful that only shame can help you live with them. Some things are so sad that only your soul can do the crying for them.
Gregory David Roberts
None of us lie or guard our secrets when we sing, and India is a nation of singers whose first love is the kind of song we turn to when crying just isn't enough.
Gregory David Roberts
At first, when we truly love someone, our greatest fear is that the loved one will stop loving us. What we should fear and dread, of course, is that we won't stop loving them, even after they're dead and gone.
Gregory David Roberts
