Life is full of accidents, some good, some bad.
The trick is to see the world as it is, not as you want it to be.
The only thing that would make a man risk his life is love.
The most dangerous people in the world are not the ones with the most guns, but the ones who know how to manipulate them.
Fear is a healthy instinct, not a sign of weakness.
The truth is the first casualty in war.
The closer you are to death, the more alive you feel. It's a funny thing, life.
In war, the first casualty is truth.
There are no good choices, only less bad ones.
In the end, we are all just trying to survive.
You cannot save everyone, but that doesn't mean you stop trying.
Sometimes the greatest act of courage is to sit still and listen.
