Effendal: If you go on the branches, I will go on the leaves. It is always good to have two strings to your bow. Not every sort of wood is fit to make an arrow. Hold fast the words of your ancestors. When the arrow is on the string, it longs to fly. When the forest burns, no force can stop it. A wise falcon hides its claws. The head is older than the book. Beware of a returning arrow. He who is out of the dance knows many songs Little crows have the longest beaks. The people go, but the stones remain Life's unfairness is not irrevocable; we can help balance the scales for others, if not always for ourselves. To go beyond is as wrong as to fall short. The sword of murder is not the balance of justice. Blood does not wipe out dishonor No human means all he says, nor says all he means Slaughter is a poor chisel to carve out tomorrow. He who flies at the right time can fight again. So then, having fled, must we be ready to fight again. And by a prudent flight and cunning save/A life which valour could not, from the grave. The trust of the innocent is the liar's most useful tool. The dead cannot cry out for justice. It is a duty of the living to do so for them. Do your duty in all things. You cannot do more. You should never do less. life is suffering, and only the very young or very foolish imagine otherwise Seeing death as the end of life is like seeing the horizon as the end of the ocean. Zeal is like fire: it needs both feeding and watching
