“Just as the lamp burns bright when wick and oil are clean, so is it with our minds. All things can corrupt when minds are prone to evil. A soft word of praise benignly intended can wreak havoc on one whose ears itch to hear it. So often, we are pulled and strung along by our feelings, led to this mischief and that because we crave a fleeting emotion. Our simmering anger needs but a nudge to flame up and scald everyone around us. Yet when our thoughts are pure, we become a light by which others learn to read. —”
― Jeff Wheeler, The Blight of Muirwood

“I do not need a friend who changes when I change and who nods when I nod; my shadow does that much better. Know how to listen, and you will profit even from those who talk badly. Sometimes silence, at the proper season, is wisdom and better than any speech. —Gideon Penman of Muirwood Abbey”
― Jeff Wheeler, The Blight of Muirwood

“new idea is delicate. It can be killed by a sneer or a yawn; it can be stabbed to death by a quip and worried to death by a frown on the right man’s brow. —Gideon Penman of Muirwood Abbey CHAPTER SEVENTEEN Intentions Lia needed to think, but the wild pounding of her heart made it impossible.”
― Jeff Wheeler, The Blight of Muirwood

“Like fragile ice, anger passes away in time. Therefore, the greatest remedy for anger is delay. —Gideon Penman of Muirwood Abbey”
― Jeff Wheeler, The Blight of Muirwood

“Perseverance is more prevailing than violence; and many things, which cannot be overcome when they are together, yield themselves up when taken little by little. Many tyrants have sat on a throne, and those whom no man would think on, have worn crowns. —”
― Jeff Wheeler, The Blight of Muirwood

“The Medium is intent on your personal growth. That progress can be quick when you willingly allow it to lead you through every experience you encounter, whether it initially be to your individual liking or not. —Richard Syon, Aldermaston of Muirwood Abbey”
― Jeff Wheeler, The Ciphers of Muirwood

“Abraham Lincoln once said, “Give me six hours to chop down a tree, and I will spend the first four sharpening the axe.” This system is no different than Abe’s tree. If you don’t sharpen your axe and put in place the necessary foundational elements first, the rest of it won’t be nearly as effective. What we’re doing here is building a system that you’ll come to rely on”

“If we have learned anything, we have learned this: it is not the strongest of the races that survives, or the most intelligent. It is the one that is the most adaptable to change. Thus only the Aeduan race will survive the”

“rank or power. It is not even about skill or cunning. The best leaders, Annon, serve those they lead. You are united to a common goal. They will not follow you because Tyrus said so. They will follow you if they believe in their hearts that you care about them. That you sincerely desire their good regard. That you treat them with honor and respect and humility. The more of yourself you give away, the more they will flock to you. They will heed you. They will sacrifice for you. They will suffer with you.” She smiled and touched his arm. “That is how to lead men. That is how to earn the respect of Mirrowen.” He nodded, remembering every word.”

“People are changed not by coercion or intimidation, but by example. —Sermons of Primate Melovar Aspen, 538”
― James Maxwell, Enchantress

“The morale of these men was low. “A fish stinks from the head,” Miro muttered to himself. It was a saying he’d picked up somewhere along the line. It meant that sloppy commanders created careless officers, who led undisciplined soldiers. It meant that if something appears wrong at the bottom, it generally pays to look at the top. Scanning the galleon, Miro saw two skinny”

“What makes someone a master of lore?” “Learning,” Ella said. “Experience. Wisdom.” Evrin shook his head sadly. “You never did understand, though you came close to the source three times.” He came forward and put his finger at Ella’s breast, close to her heart. “Power comes from within. Only when you realize this, will you become the master of yourself, and then you can become what you’ve always wanted to be.” Ella saw Layla enter the cavern to stand by Evrin’s side. “She knows it,” Evrin said, indicating Layla. “But then again, her people were always close to the truth.” “What truth?” Ella said. “You’ve always believed everything should have a rational explanation, and you’ve struggled to explain the things you don’t understand. You can’t explain away love, my dear, it doesn’t work like that. Nor can you explain intuition, or the strength to go on even through the darkest struggles.” “I don’t understand,” Ella whispered. “Why can’t you just tell me?” “Because these things are for each of us to learn on our own. They can’t be taught or explained, which is the point of what I’m trying to say to you.” Ella turned to look at the archway of golden light. Once more the feeling of restful peace came over her. “You can go that way, yes, and you deserve it, that is true.” At the other end of the cavern, from where Ella had come, the entrance darkened with shadow. The man stood at the cusp of the cavern, watching and waiting, filled with menace. “Or you can fight,” Evrin said. “It will mean discovering the source of your strength in the face of utter darkness. You will either find yourself, or you will perish.” “We”

“But your dreams and your integrity must never come in conflict. Money will come and go, but your integrity is forever. It requires great courage to do the right thing in any situation. Regardless of what the consequences will be. Regardless of who is watching. I’ve always kept my word. The reputation I built as”

“It is the anticipation of something that is the greatest feeling. When you finally achieve a goal, or buy something you have wanted for a long time, you often end up with an anticlimax. You end up feeling empty. An emptiness I have felt numerous times in my own life. An emptiness I used to feel before I realised that it wasn’t the money I made that was important, it was the journey. And that’s why it is so important that you choose to do something you like, not just something you want to make money on. The”

“Walt Disney once said, “if you can dream it, you can do it.’ And he was right. The world is our playground. We can either stand on the sideline and watch everybody else play. Or we can join in. Be a child again and dream that you can conquer the world. Let’s”
― Erik Hamre, The Last Alchemist

“he wanted to shed light on the fact that several brains pondering about the same problem are more effective than one single brain. Napoleon Hill interviewed successful entrepreneurs like the steel baron Andrew Carnegie, the founder of Ford Motor Company Henry Ford, and the inventor of the lightbulb, Thomas A. Edison. They all surrounded themselves with a small group of trusted advisers. Even though they always made the final decisions themselves, they had at their disposal a range of intelligent opinions that could be utilised in reaching the final conclusion. Instead of only their own mind, they had a ‘Mastermind’ at their disposal. But it is not only other people’s knowledge”
― Erik Hamre, The Last Alchemist

“The argument is that we are influenced by historical research.” Michael Simpson glanced over at Sophie before continuing. “When one commences an education, to become say a physicist or a chemist in today’s society, one is automatically loaded up with all the accumulated knowledge of what is wrong and what is right. Many of the scientists thus have a very similar line of attack for new problems. And this colours our scientific progress. We advance, but only in small steps. True progress most often is made when some individual looks at a problem from a totally new angle, and that is hard when everybody has been through the same basic foundations. Take Albert Einstein. The revolutionary ideas he came up with weren’t the result of discussions with equal minded academics in the university hall. They were a result of Albert Einstein’s relentless pondering and single minded focus on theoretical abstractions, alone in a small crummy patent office in Switzerland, back in 1905. If Einstein at an early stage had discussed his ideas with colleagues at a university, there is a real danger he would have been set forth on a different line of thinking, and quite possibly we wouldn’t have the theory of relativity in the form we have it today.”
― Erik Hamre, The Last Alchemist

“sometimes you have to have the courage to have faith. Faith that there are grander things than what we can observe with our own eyes. It is easy to be a physicist today. Almost everything can be tested. There is no room for great thoughts anymore. Philosophy is dead and buried a long time ago.” “I’ve”

“Indoctrination,” Michael Simpson replied. “We still base our science on the Theory of Relativity. Not because it is one hundred percent correct, but because it provides us with the most accurate picture of the universe per today. The Nazis considered the Theory of Relativity as a predominantly Jewish theory. The Germans developed Quantum Theory, a theory which in many cases has solutions that contradict our common sense. But the solutions are only illogical because we compare them to what we can observe here in our little corner of the universe. We assume that our world is normal, but it isn’t. Our little world is an abnormality in the universe. With this perspective everything becomes much clearer. A team of scientists, relieved of all historical doctrine, open to the occult and totally devoid of any morals and human worth. Such a team of scientists may have come up with totally new concepts and ways of approaching problems. Maybe they came up with a new theory. An alternative to the Theory of Relativity. A theory that doesn’t have the limitations the Theory of Relativity has.” “I”

“The book was called Man’s Search for Meaning by the Jewish author Viktor Frankl. The book had been a real-life story about Viktor Frankl’s time as a concentration camp prisoner in the very camp David had just visited, Auschwitz. Viktor Frankl hadn’t survived because he was stronger or smarter than his fellow prisoners. He had simply survived because he had been able to find a purpose for his life. He had started writing a manuscript in the camp and he had wanted to survive to be able to publish it. Fyodor Dostoevsky, the Russian author, had defined a human as ‘a being that could adapt to anything.’ And he had been right. With a purpose you could handle anything life threw at you. David”

“might be able to offer you a different perspective. Sometimes, a change of view is all that is needed to be able to understand things in a different way.”

“One of the strangest things about life is that we are as much defined by our hopes as we are our secret fears. We are, for the most part, the product of what we think about the most. Our minds are fertile beds, like these flower boxes. What would happen if the gardener did not pull out the weeds?”

“It wasn’t destroyed, Sera. It was neglected. Eventually the decay grew so bad that a roof collapsed. It became dangerous. Rather than spending time and money fixing it, the people who lived there ignored the problems until the entire place was ruined utterly. To reconstruct the abbey would have required enormous funds. A small decision not to fix broken roof shingles led to another decision to put off the problem. And another and another. Eventually, given enough time, there will not be two stones left standing.” “That is an awful story,” Sera said. “Fixing the roof should have been a priority. Now the entire structure is lost.” “I understand that someone was hired to fix the roof and the brickwork in the beginning. An accident ensued, and the man who’d been hired was incapable of finishing the work. Eventually the problem was ignored.”
― Jeff Wheeler, Mirror Gate

“That’s the thing about autocracy. It looks pretty decent while it still looks pretty decent. Survivable, anyway. And it keeps looking like that right up until it doesn’t. That’s how you find out it’s too late.”

“Not a religion, Tal’kamar. Religion is the following of rules and rituals in the hope that they will somehow garner the favor of a higher power.”
