Choose the sword and you will live.

Choose the ball and you will live with your mother in death.
 
“Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.” - John Wooden

“To climb steep hills requires slow pace at first.”- William Shakespeare

“Everyone thinks of changing the world, but no one thinks of changing himself.”

“Along with success comes a reputation for wisdom.”

“Courage is simply the willingness to be afraid and act anyway.”

“Your life is on the line. Practice well.”

“We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, therefore, is not an act but a habit.”-Aristotle

Cease to adhere to the objects to which
you are attached — and you will be free from
sorrow and self-pity! Only by living so, one can
find the true Base

in life! Isn’t this goal
worthy renouncing the common beliefs and
habits?
So great is the difference between good and
evil!
Do not do anything undesired unto others —
with this single principle one can reduce chaos
and establish order in the society.
But now… all people indulge in vanity…
And the society is immersed in chaos…
I alone stay calm and do not elevate myself
over people. I am similar to a child who was not
born in this world of vanity.
All people are bound by worldly desires. I
alone abandoned everything what they value.
I am indifferent to this.
All people live in their egocentrism. I alone
chose to get rid of it.
I flow as a Stream of Consciousness in Space
and do not know when I will stop…
I cognize Tao in my heart! It is so subtle!
I differ from others by valuing That Which
created our lives.

Lao Tzu
 
Whatever you do, strive to do it so well that no man living and no man dead and no man yet to be born could do it any better.
