      "Concentrate on what you have to do. Fix your eyes on it. Remind yourself that your task is to be a good human being; remind yourself what nature demands of people. Then do it, without hesitation, and speak the truth as you see it. But with kindness. With humility. Without hypocrisy."

            Yeah, my GM outside of the interwebz got me hooked to Schlock Mercenary a while ago. It's a hilarious webcomic.

                      ... Or as Maxim 25 Puts it: If the damage you do is covered by a manufacturer's warranty, you didn't do enough damage.
