Never underestimate the fury of patient man.

The Darkness cannot extinguish your light. Your WILL. Your determination. No matter what is happening—no matter how hard the fight is. As long as you keep fighting—you win.”

Every time you train, train with the motivation and purpose that you will be the hardest person someone ever tries to hurt or kill.

Pray, I never come for you.
