life cutting son
Some men just aren't cut out for paternity. Better they should realize it before and not after they become responsible for a son.

Seems like half my anxiety dreams are about airports.
judging lasts may
When I go down into the ground at last, as God is my judge, I pray my best-beloved may have better to say of me than, "He didn't hit me."
firsts retreat surprise
A tactical retreat is not a bad response to a surprise assault, you know. First you survive. Then you choose your own ground. Then you counterattack.
be-careful careful
You have to be careful who you let define your good.
life heart desire
Some prices are just too high, no matter how much you may want the prize. The one thing you can't trade for your heart's desire is your heart.
want idiot objects
I don't want power. I just object to idiots having power over me.
waste pedants nomenclature
Never argue with a pedant over nomenclature. It wastes your time and annoys the pedant.
sorry pain love-you
I'm sorry. I can love you. I can grieve for you, or with you. I can share your pain. But I cannot judge you.

Your Reverence, I do not hate any man in this world enough to inflict the results of my prayers upon him.

All true wealth is biological.
real destiny blood
Real destiny takes everything-the last drop of blood, and strip out your veins to be sure-and gives it back doubled. Quadrupled. A thousand-fold! But you can't give halves. You have to give it all. I know. I swear. I've come back from the dead to speak the truth to you. Real destiny gives you a mountain of life, and puts you on top of it.
giving hook embedded
The gods give no gifts without hooks embedded.
