"There is really no reason to suffer. The only reason you suffer is because you choose to suffer.

The only reason you are happy is because you choose to be happy. Happiness is a choice, and so is suffering."

"The big difference between a warrior and a victim is that the victim represses and the warrior refrains. Victims repress because they are afraid to show the emotions, afraid to say what they want to say. To refrain is not the same thing as repression. To refrain is to hold the emotions and to express them in the right moment, not before, not later. That is why warriors are impeccable."
