  • A.J. Darkholme Quote #1

  • A.J. Darkholme Quote #2

    [If you] give into your [emotional] illusions, and you will find yourself lost in a maze with no exits, nor entrances, but winding paths that lead you in circles so many times that you grow familiar and comfortable with the very place you shouldn't be in.

  • A.J. Darkholme Quote #3

    A good leader must have the wisdom to know when a pursuit is no longer worthy of being pursued - a time when the losses of the present must be accepted - and cut - to preserve the gains and providence of the future.

  • A.J. Darkholme Quote #4

    Always think at least two steps ahead [in everything, with everyone].

  • A.J. Darkholme Quote #10

    Anything you don’t want to deal with can always be written off as being “in the past” and ignored, but in doing so, you sweep it under a rug where it doesn't go away with time – it becomes time itself, and takes on the illusion of life as we think we know it.

  • A.J. Darkholme Quote #11

    Anything you dream [can] be yours simply because you've focused on the steps you could take instead of the distance to get there.

  • A.J. Darkholme Quote #12

    Awareness is not a prerequisite for change.

  • A.J. Darkholme Quote #14

    Being an authority on paper does not immediately grant you authority over a group until it is earned by you and given by them.

  • A.J. Darkholme Quote #15

    Change isn't always comfortable, but it always teaches us something of utmost importance – usually about ourselves – and we become better people for it.

  • A.J. Darkholme Quote #16

    Despite our human intelligence, we are very much like our friends in the wild; the world we live in is a survival of the fittest. But to this I say, let the fittest survive! Survival is overrated. We’re alive; we die. How long we survive for is of little significance. Our true significance lies not in the endless comparing of ourselves to one another, trying to see who is the fittest, using scales of evaluation and meaning that differ in the heart and mind of every individual; no - it lies in our deeds alone with the time we have.

  • A.J. Darkholme Quote #17

    Don’t let realism keep you from doing what you feel you need to do, even if you think it’s hopeless.

  • A.J. Darkholme Quote #18

    Don’t let the fact you haven’t done something before convince you that you can’t do it, or that it cannot be done perfectly the first time you try your hand at it.

  • A.J. Darkholme Quote #21

  • A.J. Darkholme Quote #22

    Every choice in life sets us on a different path and carries its own set of “what ifs” and consequences that we could worry about, but what’s the use? Rather than plaguing our thoughts with the unknown, we should focus on and accept only what we do know – and all we know is the path we’re currently on.

  • A.J. Darkholme Quote #23

    Every man walks his own path, and every path has its fair share of locked doors. You never know who holds the key to a door you’ll need to open one day, so you best treat people as if they are all keyholders.

  • A.J. Darkholme Quote #24

    Everything can be achieved through gradual steps – one small step at a time: overcoming fears, fulfilling dreams... anything you wish to be different from the way it is.

  • A.J. Darkholme Quote #25

    Express [yourself] without worrying what everyone else will think. Those people are your limits. Ignore them.

  • A.J. Darkholme Quote #26

  • A.J. Darkholme Quote #27

    Fear is for the powerless. Fear is for the alone. But as you stand together now, you are neither of those. Together, you amplify each other’s strengths; you nullify each other’s weaknesses.

  • A.J. Darkholme Quote #28

    Gaining satisfaction through accomplishments is and will always be a slippery slope, because there will come a time when you realize you have accomplished all that is within your power to accomplish in the realm of good, and will have nowhere else to turn but to the realms of greed and powerlust to find the satisfaction you crave.

  • A.J. Darkholme Quote #29

    Greatness is not a gift that one can give to another, but rather is a thief's relic that we must take for ourselves.

  • A.J. Darkholme Quote #30

    Greed robs you of more value than the price of what you've gained.
