“I have adopted a maxim laid down by Napoleon, never to occupy ground which the enemy would like me to occupy.” Stand courageous. Stand with a fire lit inside.

When the appetizers and desserts are consumed all that’s left is an entree. Its absence is felt. You will not get full without it.

Gradual change is change none the less. A truth spoken but for the first time believed. A thousand steps and one that crosses the finish line.

Picked up. Put down. Cherished in between.

When cornered, the only response is to fight. If you don’t want a fight, leave an exit route. Peace is found through planning.
