Quotes to ponder:

"True power comes from within one’s self. Aggression is moving in power over others there is nothing admirable or powerful about being a bully."

"Ragers rage because they choose to NOT because others 'make' them or set them off."

"Love should NOT hurt. And love, most certainly, should not be a battlefield."
