Show no fear to your enemies. Only contempt. Never let anyone look down on you. You're just as good as any of them. I don't care who they are. Better in fact. In our world, Dagans are royalty and you, my son, are a prince.

It is certain that those who have the living faith in their hearts see at once that all existence is none other than the work of the God whom they adore.

There are persons of that general philanthropy and easy tempers, which the world in contempt generally calls good-natured, who seem to be sent into the world with the same design with which men put little fish into a pike pond, in order only to be devoured by that voracious water-hero.

All my own experience of life teaches me the contempt of cunning, not the fear. The phrase profound cunning, has always seemed to me a contradiction in terms. I never knew a cunning mind which was not either shallow, or on some point diseased.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld
Image
