Achievement is often grounded in the unreasonable — nothing is impossible for the man who will not listen to reason.

Achievement is like a mountain, so formed that it is always wearisome when one begins the ascent, but becomes easier the higher one climbs.

Achievement is the result of hard work. Those on top of the mountain didn’t fall there.

Achievement is never achieved by an exertion of the will when it is a thing of value.

An Apology is never sufficient — A wound is not cured by the unbending of the bow.

Apology is, on some occasions, nothing but rudeness.

Apology is only egotism wrong side out.

An Apology only accounts for that which it does not alter.

Bravery is being the only one who knows you're afraid.

Bravery is being prepared to die — The sweat of a brave man is blood.

Bravery is not abandon — the better part of valor is discretion.

Bravery is never tasting of death but once; cowards die many times before their deaths.

Celebration is a confrontation involving the giving of attention to the transcendent meaning of one's actions.

Celebration is self-restraint, is attentiveness, is questioning, is meditating, is awaiting, is the step over into the more wakeful glimpse of the wonder - the wonder that a world is worlding around us at all, that there are beings rather than nothing, that things are and we ourselves are in their midst, that we ourselves are and yet barely know who we are, and barely know that we do not know all this.

Celebration is not to be endulged in overly hastily — don't whistle until you're out of the woods.

Celebration is unwise before a thing has ended — Do not praise the day before the nightfall.
