People are not addicted to

alcohol or drugs, they are

addicted to escaping

reality.

The brave man is he who

overcomes not only his enemies

but his pleasures.

People will do anything, no

matter how absurd, in order to

avoid facing their own soul.

All sins are attempts

to fill voids.

Days will pass, and you'll

abandon things you were

addicted to, and leave

someone, and cancel a 

dream, and finally, accept a

reality.

I drank to drown my 

pain, but the damned pain 

learned how to swim.

Excessive indulgence in

sensory pleasures can dull our

ability to appreciate the

simple joys in life.

Learn to say 'no' to the good so you can 

say 'yes' to the best.

Use the weekend to

build the life you want

instead of trying to

escape the life you have.

Know the difference

between enjoying your

youth and destroying

your future.

What is meant

for you will

arrive in clarity

not confusion.

The day man becomes

superior to pleasure, he will

also be superior to pain.

Pleasures, when they go beyond a

certain limit, are but punishments.

Many times a man thinks

he is buying pleasure,

when he is really selling

himself to it.

Discipline is choosing between

what you want now and what

you want most.

Pain is neither unbearable nor

unending, as long as you keep in

mind its limits and don't magnify

them in your imagination.

Continuous pleasure ceases

to be a pleasure.
