An injured man must not feel pity for himself, otherwise he will live in sorrow for the rest of his life.

A man who refused to be warned only remembers the warning when his forehead is covered with wounds.

A silent man will die in the silence of his foolishness.

Exile wields the hammer of darker memories. Where the victim and the victimizer embrace, who shall intervene, and clouds of rain pour down on the sky's rejects.

The stump that hits the toes of the person walking in front of you will also hit the toe of the person walking behind. When the big finger burns, the small ones also burn.
