He who learns but does not think, is lost. He who thinks but does not learn is in great danger.

"Trust not they who cannot tell the difference between shedding blood to protect others and shedding blood because they can. For they are blind, seeing no difference between a mother killing to protect her child and a lunatic killing the same child for fun."

"If the only way to destroy the evil is by becoming it, remember to include your own destruction in the plans. Sometimes destroying evil requires sacrifice. But unless it's self sacrifice you aren't destroying evil, merely shifting it around a bit."

"He who smelt it has a high probability of being the one who dealt it,"
Translation: "Beware one who sees evil everywhere they look – chances are they are looking in a mirror."

"Blood is only thicker than water after exposure to air."
Translated: "The bonds that bind together those you've shed blood for and with are greater than those to the people who merely share the blood in your veins. They are your true family."

"The first rule of battle is, don't die."
"Death isn't when your heart stops beating and you stop breathing. Death is when you've allowed evil to overwhelm all the good you've done. Those who go the grave with their heads held high and the world better for their existence need never fear death for they are immortal."
