a king sacrificer (in chess)
quotes i happen to like:
"No man was ever honored for what he received. Honor has been the reward for what he gave."
"Men do not make laws. They do but discover them. Laws must be justified by something more than the will of the majority. They must rest on the eternal foundation of righteousness."
"School is not the end, but the beginning of an education."
"We do not need more intellectual power. We need more spiritual power. We do not need more of the things that are seen, we need more of the things that are unseen."
"All growth depends upon activity. There is no development physically or intellectually without effort, and effort means work."
"The measure of intelligence is the ability to change."
"My great concern is not whether you have failed, but whether you are content with your failure."
"Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves; under the rule of a just God, cannot retain it.
"In the end, it's not the years in your life that count; it's the life in your years."
"The best way to predict the future is to create it."
"Everyone says, 'Well, you should be harmless, virtuous, you shouldn't do anyone harm, you should sheath your competitive instinct, you shouldn't try to win. You don't want to be too aggressive. You don't want to be too assertive'. No. Wrong. You should be a monster, and an absolute monster, and then you should learn how to control it."
