battle

Priests might divide the world into good and bad. In battle there was strong and weak and nothing else.

You must be a light unto yourself.

Why is it that good always has to fight an uphill battle?"I thought for a moment, then said, "I don't know. Maybe that's the point. Good things are higher up.

It has always seemed to me that there are two types of people in this world: those rendered impotent by the sheer weight of evil it contains, and who refuse to act because they see no point, and those who choose their battles and fight them to the end, as they understand that to do nothing is definitely worse than to do something and fail. --The Collector

For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms. Eph. 6:12 (NIV)

And one day when you wake up, you happen to realise that your battle isn__ with the man you had got into a brawl with the other day, it isn__ with a friend turned foe, it isn__ with those parents who chose to give up on you, it isn__ with the bus driver for not having waited until you got in, it isn__ with the employer who cancelled the application to your leave, it isn__ with the examiner who resolved into failing you, it isn__ with the woman who did not reciprocate your feelings, it isn__ with child who dropped his ice-cream cone on you, it isn__ with your ill fate and it isn__ with that superior being above you. Your battle, your fight isn__ against the world but against yourself and the only way to come through all of it and beyond, to win, is improvement, self-improvement which needs to be gradual and progressive with the transverse of each day.

He remembered the gracefulness with which she moved in battle__ike liquid flesh. There was no one quite like his wife, and he never felt more triumphant and free than when he was in her company.

Judge tenderly, if you must. There is usually a side you have not heard, a story you know nothing about, and a battle waged that you are not having to fight.

Bullets do not discriminate. They are equal-opportunity projectiles.

The devil depends on a dark secret chance, but God does it now before your own eyes.

I find it rude to laugh at a man with a sword.

It__ only a scratch, don__ cut my arm off!

Success is often followed by failure. Yesterday's victory doesn't win today's battle.

The moment you believe you will fail, you have already lost the battle.

Victory will not go to those who can inflict the most suffering, but to those who can survive the most.

A part of me genuinely wanted to be the worst because I was so sick of everyone fighting to be the best.

We are all ghosts," Morris Klapper said at last. "We are conceived in a moment of death and born out of ghost wombs, and we play in the streets with other little ghosts, chanting ghost-rhymes and scratching to become real. We are told that life is full of goals and that, although it is sadly necessary to fight, you can at least choose your war. But we learn that for ghosts there can only be one battle: to become real. A few of us make it, thus encouraging other ghosts to believe it can be done.

The most critical time in any battle is not when I__ fatigued, it__ when I no longer care.
