Always question where your loyalties lie. The people you trust will expect it, your greatest enemies will desire it and those you treasure the most will, without fail, abuse it

I was warned, revenge is a stony path.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-

I took the one less traveled by, 

And that has made all the difference.

  – Robert Frost

“A need for revenge can burn long and hot. Especially if every glance in a mirror reinforces it.”
― Suzanne Collins, (Katniss Everdeen) Mockingjay

I Many Times Thought Peace Had Come

I many times thought peace had come,

When peace was far away,

As wrecked men deem they sight the land,

At center of the sea,

And struggle slacker, but to prove,

As hopelessly as I,

How many the fictitious shores

Before the harbor lie.

– Emily Dickinson

“All warfare is based on deception.”
