There are really only two ways to approach life - as victim or as gallant fighter - and you must decide if you want to act or react, deal your own cards or play with a stacked deck. And if you don't decide which way to play with life, it always plays with you.

"The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing."

"Never wear your wishbone where your backbone should be!"
Do not believe in anything simply because you have heard it.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is spoken and rumored by many.
Do not believe in anything simply because it is found written in your religious books.
Do not believe in anything merely on the authority of your teachers and elders.
Do not believe in traditions because they have been handed down for many generations.
But after observation and analysis,
When you find that anything agrees with reason
And is condusive to the good and benefit of on and all,
then accept it and live up to it.
- Buddha

"Don't go outside your house to see flowers.
My friend, don't bother with that excursion.
Inside your body there are flowers.
One flower has a thousand petals.
That will do for a place to sit.
Sitting there you will have a glimpse of beauty
inside the body and out of it,
before gardens and after gardens."

I only wish to be the fountain of love from which you drink...

In the end, You win out.

Vengeance - Some say it's poison that inflitrates the soul and strips it bare. That its path only destroys the one who treads it.
The game isn't over.
Defeat does nothing but feed the part of the soul that demands a rematch.

though the words are often used synonymously.
