Quotes about Responsibility
Dreaming is very pleasant as long as you are not forced to put your dreams into practice.

A Warrior of the Light makes decisions. His soul is as free as the clouds in the sky, but he is committed to his dream.

The Warrior is free. But he knows that an open oven bakes no bread.
