Words of wisdom

((Post if you wish, but try not posting useless comments))
A dark silouhette's steps breaks the silence of Troll's Bane's street, he stops by the northern gate, seats on a near-by rock by the light of a lantern. Neither his age nor gender can be determined by the weak glimmer of the flame. He unsheats a rolled parchment from his pocket, dips a feather in an ink bottle and starts scratching the material with the soaked tip. He then stands up slowly, cuts a deep harsh into a tree's trunk, extracting some of the substance coming out of the wooden wound, and uses it to stick the parchment on the wall.
It is when it dies, that we use wood;
Each twelve hours, the sun gets bored. But he comes back;
Even when you step back, you walk towards death;
There is more courage than talent in most successes;
There are wars that rage on, kings that die, women who cheat, humans making their ways to greatness, and peasants who know nothing about it;
Don't even judge, critique if you like, but thank from time to time;
There are two kinds of poets, those we don't read, and those we read again;
Half an apple and half an orange don't make a fruit;
Behind the lips, you can find teeth;
The best way to a man's heart is through his stomach, the best way to a woman's heart is through her pocket.
I do not expect you to understand these words, they're not written for this purpose. Simply read, admire and apply.
The note remains unsigned
