Quotes by Wilbur Smith
From WikiquoteSomething always dies when the lion feeds — and yet there is meat for those that follow him.
"When a traveller gets a thorn in his foot," Mbejane went on softly, "and he is wise, he plucks it out — and he is a fool, he leaves it and says, 'I will keep this thorn to prick me so that I will always remember the road upon which I have travelled.' Nkosi, it is better to remember with pleasure than with pain."
Beware of your most implacable enemy — yourself.
