There was never a genius without a tincture of madness.

For to win one hundred victories in one hundred battles is not the acme of skill. To subdue the enemy without fighting is the acme of skill.

The quest for certainty blocks the search for meaning. Uncertainty is the very condition to impel man to unfold his powers.

"Depression is like a long tunnel. Sometimes there are lights, sometimes there aren't. The dark parts of the tunnel can last for a long time, but not forever. You just need to continue forward and you'll see the lights again. Don't give up, you're stronger than that." - My co-writer's late grandfather

Umberto Eco said it best about true heroism...
The real hero is always a hero by mistake; he dreams of being an honest coward like everybody else. If it had been possible he would have settled the matter otherwise, and without bloodshed.
He doesn't boast of his own death or of others'. But he does not repent. He suffers and keeps his mouth shut; if anything, others then exploit him, making him a myth, while he, the man worthy of esteem, was only a poor creature who reacted with dignity and courage in an event bigger than he was.

However, I like this one more... Autistic as the source is:
Times of peace are always ideal, but we must be vigilant and prepare for war to achieve them; the struggle for peace in never-ending! - War Machine (Ending speech), Marvel Vs. Capcom

“I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind.
Some come from ahead and some come from behind.
But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see.
Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!”


Dr. Seuss
 
An excuse is worse and more terrible than a lie, for an excuse is a lie guarded.
-St. John Paul II
 
Do not go gentle into that good night,
Old age should burn and rave at close of day;
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Though wise men at their end know dark is right,
Because their words had forked no lightning they
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Good men, the last wave by, crying how bright
Their frail deeds might have danced in a green bay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Wild men who caught and sang the sun in flight,
And learn, too late, they grieved it on its way,
Do not go gentle into that good night.

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight
Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay,
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height,
Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray.
Do not go gentle into that good night.
Rage, rage against the dying of the light.
