One day the enemy will cross the Great Green. They will bring war and tragedy to these eastern lands. Such is the nature of vile men. Yet we cannot live in dread of them. We cannot hide behind these high walls, our hearts trembling. For that is not life. We must accept the needs and the duties of each day, and face them one at a time. David Gemmell
About This Quote

It is not easy to live in fear of the future. We cannot live in dread of the future, yet we cannot live in the hope of the future. The reason for this is that the future is never certain. No one can know what will happen tomorrow, no one can know if their loved ones are alive or dead, or what kind of life they will have tomorrow.

Yet, we are responsible for our lives. It is our choice to live or die. We must face the future with confidence and courage.

We must try to make tomorrow better than today if we want to be happy.
