It is extremely important to record your
journeys so that you might learn from
them. The greater need, however, is
that the sources of information you use
to uncover this mystery need to be
protected when they are found. If key
figures, documents or oracles are
somehow removed, either by death or
destruction, then you will never know
who or what you are or how you came
to be this way.

"Look at this leaf. When you’re standing close to it you can see every single detail of the leaf. You may think that it’s important to see things, like this leaf, up close but that is an incorrect notion because it is also important to view things from afar. That’s why it is necessary to look at all perspectives of an issue or of an object" - Melissa Lawrence

“What was infinitely more valuable to Wagner, and what excited his gratitude to even more superlative utterance, was the confidence which Liszt showed in his genius, and without which, it is no exaggeration to say, Wagner’s greatest works would probably have remained unwritten.”
~Correspondence between Wagner and Liszt.

 

[TheLordOfChaos201]

Never defend against and attack, to defend means to admit that you are vulnerable and only spires the enemy on to attack harder, instead attack their weaknesses in turn

Never admit to know more than your enemy, rather let them believe you ignorant so that you may learn from them what they believe you know not

Take from your enemy all you need but do not rob them of all they have, to leave them destitute would mean they have nothing left to live for but vengeance.

Do not rape the women and children, do not kill the men, do not harm the livestock, a greater message is sent but defeating them and sparing their lives. For what good comes from closed lips, when out cry sounds the message of your strength far better

"Frequently we have to remember the past. I've been told that we cannot turn back. But for me, if you don't have a past, you can't have a future. Because you have to know from where you come from. Thus, a country without a past is like a country without a soul."
~Mihai I of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen.

"In all the period between 1944 and 1947, we were very unhappy. I can't say we were very hurt, but we were angry and disappointed because we truly hoped that the USA and Great Britain would do something to stop the Russians. And those here from the American and Britannic missions whom we were in contact with, too were desperate because they were seeing what was going on."
~Mihai I of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen.

"If you think that Romania's developing was made in many generations and Carol I modernized Romania in 48 years of reign... These people destroyed everything in an instant. Anything or anyone that meant something in this country was annihilated. And now we have to start from zero. At the arrival of Carol I, however, something was found here. There existed politicians, people who had patriotic sense. All those have been erased. Even if you feel something for your country though, it is hard to have a clear image. No other system, not even the Nazi, had done something like that here, maybe somewhere else."
~Mihai I of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen.

[TheLordOfChaos201]

Be stronger than others if you can, but do not tell them so

Do not let your failures become you but know that you fail because you still have more to accomplish. For it is a sad reality when you face a day that you can not lose, for you have nothing more to achieve

Do not look at your suffering as a punishment but instead as a challenge, know that fate fears your strength and as such tries to weaken you for it knows your power is a threat

Never defend yourself against their attack but instead attack their weaknesses in turn. Even if your enemy is God find their weakness and assault it until they can take no more, and cave to your demands

Do not believe me when I say, 'You can not control their reaction', because a wiser man then me has shown my words to be a lie.

It is far easier to catch their attention with a question than an answer, and with reaction than a reason, for curiosity is the greatest manipulator of them all.

one I did bad, and that I hear ever, twice I did good, and that I hear never.

Those that crave praise for their accomplishments, never get it, however, those that are praised never truly accomplish anything at all.

For what you have achieved, do you earn favour or do your achievements themselves pay their price in full?

Everyone who is born must die; but the brave step forward into death, some to die before their time but all who step forward fall to glory.

I tell you the truth, you can not wound me when you are dead, but I can wound you long after your murdered

Why should I fear death? It is when I am not.

I must be cruel only to be kind

I will speak all the good I know of others, and if I should have anything ill to say I will not speak of you at all.

Do not let them over run you with dishonour, to let them speak over you is to say you had nothing worthy to impart, to let them step ahead of you is to say your place in line was not of worth, to let them stand over you is to say your head is not worthy of the crown.

I wish to be ahead of them, I place myself behind. I wish to be over them, I place myself below. As such, though I be above them they do not feel my weight. Though I be ahead of them, they do not count it as an injury.

Kill your enemy if it is necessary, but do not harm their guard and generals. Instead, invite all those who stood with them to accompany you to the celebration of your victory. Then, when the remainder of their army see you standing in the company of your enemies most trusted, they will swear loyalty to you.

Your anguish is a sign, a blessing from heaven. God is preparing you for the seat of rule, and if this is not so, make your plans now to seek vengeance against your God. While the fires of your rage are still hot.

Never pee standing up, to stand up and relieve yourself is to give away secrets to your enemy. Instead squat down where no one can see you, so that if you are discovered your enemy will be none the wiser that you have a sword.

Killing is not evil, to take the life of another is not an affirmation of your worth but it is a testament to your belief. For it is your principles that decide the outcome of their death and then life then after
