01UndatedThe power to give everything or take it all away is the inborn power contained in every confident woman’s grasp – the only way for a man to regain that power, is to keep her happy enough that she forgets she even has it.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
02UndatedThe power of an idea is never to be underestimated. Many a thought has survived long after its host has ceased to be. It is the power of an idea that no shield can defend against, nor sword divide, nor poison infect. As such, we must aspire to create ideas, rather than preserve life. In a sense, this is how we achieve true immortality and live on past our time.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
03UndatedLove is one of the most motivating and self-defining forces in our lives, whether we turn from it or allow ourselves to be drawn to it. If you allow romantic possibilities with others to consume all your time and energy, they will distract you from the things of interest that fill your life with passion and purpose.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
04UndatedYour biggest dreams can become reality, not by brute-forcing the end-goal, but breaking it down into smaller, more manageable parts. If your goal takes years, breaking it down into months and days will let you improve your lot little bits at a time.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
05UndatedIt’s true what they say, that words are the true weapons. Those who fight with steel are limited to the strength of their arm, the reach of their blade, and the timing of their strike; but those who fight with persuasion know no limits – not time, nor status, nor chance.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
07UndatedNever overestimate the strength of the torchbearer's arm, for even the strongest arms grow weary.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗

12UndatedSeek counsel; though we are all skilled and experienced in many ways, no one can experience all that life has to offer in the limited time we are given in this world.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
13UndatedEverything can be achieved through gradual steps – one small step at a time: overcoming fears, fulfilling dreams... anything you wish to be different from the way it is.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
14UndatedWhat seems like a flaw is merely our higher consciousness telling us we're not looking at it in the right light yet.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗

16UndatedWe must humble ourselves before [others] so we may learn from what others have lived. It is only when we have added their expertise to our own that we can truly excel towards our most ambitious goals and reach our fullest potential.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
17UndatedNo matter where you go, there’s always something to deal with; if it’s not greed, it’s lust, or envy, or pride, or something else. You just have to live your life so uncorrupted that it offsets the corruption as much as possible.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
18UndatedLove is not a purpose, it’s a paradox; it’s not an end-goal, it’s an auxiliary fuel source to help get there.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
19UndatedSome people experience a life-changing sensation that transforms how they see the world after a near-death experience, but the way I see it, we’re all dying – nay, we’re all dead – and it is up to us to be our own self-necromancers to find some form of life and spirit to reanimate the corpse of a life spent wanting.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
20UndatedMy happiness with the future and the present depends on my ability to let the past go and make peace with it.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
21UndatedSometimes it's best to trade an ideal for something more practical that you can guarantee.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
22UndatedWithout purpose and meaning in our lives, we banish ourselves to wander this plane of existence with self-destructive tendencies until the bell tolls and our breath capsizes in our lungs, snatching our chance to redeem ourselves forever.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
23UndatedWhat we don't often realize is that the rebirth and collapse of grand things do not begin with grand things at all, like the things we see, but with the small, like the things we are - in the things we do - in the things we say.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
24UndatedA good leader must have the wisdom to know when a pursuit is no longer worthy of being pursued - a time when the losses of the present must be accepted - and cut - to preserve the gains and providence of the future.A.J. Darkholme / quote ↗
