I will see you tonight. Or I will see you dead. - Robert Jordan

If you pursue two hares, both will escape you.

A ship is alive, and he is like a man, with a true man’s heart. Treat him well and care for him properly, and he will fight for you against the worst sea. He will fight to keep you alive even after the sea has long since given him his own deathstroke. Neglect him, though, ignore the small warnings he gives of danger, and he will drown you in a flat sea beneath a cloudless sky.

Take what you can have. Rejoice in what you can save, and do not mourn your losses too long.
