Was mutual need enough to risk trusting a calculated enemy in hopes of destroying a more powerful one?

Understand that great accomplishments require great effort. If a goal is achieved without effort, it is no accomplishment but a mere happening.

The moment a person feels he has nothing left to learn is the moment life prepares to hit him hard enough to correct such ignorance.

Don't ever give up. Don't ever give in. Don't ever stop trying. Don't ever sell out. And if you find yourself succumbing to one of the above for a brief moment, pick yourself up, brush yourself off, whisper a prayer, and start where you left off.But never, ever, ever give up.

Don’t simply exist in this world, but grasp life’s potential by the jacket. Dare it to be all it can. Make life historical—a gripping account of accomplishment. Make life a mystery—a challenging, bold adventure. Make life heartfelt—an enduring, poetic romance. Whatever it is you make of your world, live the fairytale.

Imagine fantasy and pretend as neither fantastical nor pretended.....And then believe it.
