Quotes of Alcaeus

1: Failure: no one is immune to failure, in some way, in some fashion, you will fail, the taste is always bitter and sour by nature, it's supposed to be that way so we strive to win, however, when one taste failure, they need to remember what happened to have them fail and understand how it happened to prepare for it next time, but the thing people confuse all the time is that losing is not the same as failing, sometimes, winning itself is the loss, and failure is in the victory itself, while hard, ask yourself this, "how do I feel winning over losing"

2: War: what is war, is it a battle for conquest, glory, and honor, no, far from it, war is as close to hell as one gets, it's pointless in every sense of the word, and it's a place where everyone loses, the winners are the one's who come out on top in the end, sometimes losing almost everything and everyone as a result, is war a game, somewhat, while many things can compare war to a game, there are certain element's that a mere game cannot recreate in an actual war, so what is war, war, in the end, is when politics move from talking to fighting, that is all it is in the end

3: Kingship to those nearest to you: is being a tyrant really that terrible, look at most of those king's who were not tyrant's, they were either figurehead's that those beneath them could manipulate at the snap of a finger or lead their kingdom's to ruin in the end, or worst case, both, no, being a tyrant wasn't a bad thing, in fact, a good king needs to be a tyrant to demand power if they must, it's how they handle their kingdom that matter's in the end, so if a king is called a tyrant, that is a compliment, it's when they're not when those near the king will start to take advantage of you, so for the sake of your kingdom and it's people, put those men in their place as a king should

4:Rule: how a king rules his kingdom is entirely dependent on the situation they are in, while criticism can be made for many king's even in their difficult situation's, in the end, most kings have to do what must be done in the end and they can mostly not be faulted on that, you can't save everyone, then again, that doesn't mean you shouldn't try, the most important part to remember about being a king, is that no matter how powerful you are, you're still a mortal man in the end, just like everyone else

5:Mistakes: there is no shame in admitting one's shortcoming's or mistakes, in fact, there is pride, dignity, and honor in admitting them, it is only human to make mistakes, and it is only human to not know what to do or how to handle something, it is those who seem perfect that make the most mistakes as they hide them, flaws are a human trait in all, so why should king's be an exception to this, nothing will ever go as planned or be done perfectly, life doesn't work that way, so why hide from the reality and live in your imagination called, Perfection, a perfect king is only perfect in one sense, like how King Arthur was said to be perfect, yet failed his kingdom when and where it mattered most

6:Training: a king's training should be brutal and unforgiving, to say the least, they should be beaten and broken not for losing a fight, but for losing a fight while he is still conscious, only when unconscious should he stay down, so long as they have consciousness, they get up or keep getting beaten till they get up, he will be taught everything he needs to know and not skip anything, less his hand's be shattered as punishment, no less should be expected from the king, he is a warrior in his own battlefield after all, so they should act like it, no matter how much it hurts them, once they go to a the throne, they will not have the mercy of being taken to a medical room till the battle's over, not when he's beaten down, so yes, break the king in training as much as you can, make him a warrior, because if you want your king to come back alive, you will beat him into a king with every ounce of his being

7:Good and Evil: good and evil, yin and yang, black and white, people think that it's all black and white, but there is so much grey with good and evil, how can you really tell one apart from another, it's the easiest and hardest thing to do, such as king Aurthur, people revere him as a king of absolute good, yet, he's murdered innocent infant's born on May 1st to make Mordred's resistance exterminated... how is he a good man for murdering possibly million's of babies a year, if you ask me, that man is a monster who claims he's good but is a hypocrite to his own ideals and legacy
