"Good and evil both increase at compound..." - Quote by C S Lewis
Good and evil both increase at compound interest. That is why the little decisions you and I make every day are of such infinite importance. The smallest good act today is the capture of a strategic point from which, a few months later, you may be able to go on to victories you never dreamed of. An apparently trivial indulgence in lust or anger today is the loss of a ridge or railway line or bridgehead from which the enemy may launch an attack otherwise impossible.

“Those who cannot conceive of Friendship as a substantive love but only as a disguise or elaboration of Eros betray the fact that they have never had a Friend.”
“There might be things more terrible even than losing someone you love by death.”
“They stormed and jeered at one another in long meaningless words of about twenty syllables each.”
More on Good And Evil
“Good and evil thoughts are each a potent power, and they fill the universe.”
“Who are you then?" "I am part of that power which eternally wills evil and eternally works good.”
“Everything is deception: seeking the minimum of illusion, keeping within the ordinary limitations, seeking the maximum. In the first case one cheats the Good, by trying to make it too easy for oneself to get it, and the Evil by imposing all too unfavorable conditions of warfare on it. In the second case one cheats the Good by keeping as aloof from it as possible, and the Evil by hoping to make it powerless through intensifying it to the utmost.”

“Any business you go into, you have to think about how much money you are willing to put into it, and how much you are not.”
“Life is accumulative - Either our errors accumulate to what we don't get, or our wise decisions accumulate into what we do get.”
“you can't live life without consequences. They occur regardless of the decision. A consequence is an outcome, good or bad. You can live life without regrets and thats what makes it worth it. Or you could live with regret and end up hanging yourself but thats still good. You paid for the rope so your feeding someones family. Something to be proud of before you kick the bucket”
