“The problem with breaking up with someone, if you are a little unsure â€” and so often, people are unsure â€” is that breaking up involves persuasion.

“A man follows the path laid out for him. He does his duty to God and his King. He does what he must do, not what pleases him. God's truth, boy, what kind of world would this be if every man did what pleased him alone?
