There are all kinds of courage. It takes a great deal of bravery to stand up to our enemies, but just as much to stand up to our friends.

"To the well-organised mind, death is but the next great adventure."

It was one of my more brilliant ideas, and between you and me, that's saying something. My brain surprises even me sometimes...

The truth. It is a beautiful and terrible thing, and should, therefore, be treated with great caution. I shall answer your questions unless I have a very good reason not to, in which case I beg you'll forgive me. I shal not, of course, lie.

Always use the proper name for things. Fear of a name increases fear of the thing itself.

The trouble is, humans do have a knack of choosing precisely those things which are worst for them.

"Enter, stranger, but take heed
Of what awaits the sin of greed,
For those who take, but do not earn,
Must pay most dearly in their turn,
So if you seek beneath our floors
A treasure that was never yours,
Thief, you have been warned, beware
Of finding more than treasure there."
