Forgiveness is the first step on the journey to ruin

Something about the elder god of bees...
Forgiveness is the first step on the journey to ruin
The object of the war is not to make or prevent conquests of territory, but to keep the structure of society intact
In front of you lies not annihilation, but merely death
In general, the greater the understanding, the greater the delusion; the more intelligent, the less sane
The object of waging a war is always to be in a better position in which to wage another war
You must try harder. It is not easy to become sane.
Stupidity is as necessary as intelligence, and as difficult to attain
The consequences of every act are included in the act itself
We are the dead. Our only true life is in the memories of future generations.
Reality exists in the human mind, and nowhere else
What can be done against the lunatic who is more intelligent than yourself, who gives your arguments a fair hearing and then persists in his lunacy?
Confession is not betrayal
Sanity is statistical: it is a matter of thinking as we do
We do not merely destroy our enemies; we change them
Orthodoxy means not thinking – not needing to think. Orthodoxy is unconsciousness
The choice for mankind lies between freedom and happiness and for the great bulk of mankind, happiness is better
Power lies in reshaping others' minds in forms of your own choosing
It is a beautiful thing, the destruction of words
In the face of pain there are no heroes
Until they became conscious they will never rebel, and until after they have rebelled they cannot become conscious
A lunatic is just a minority of one
If you want to keep a secret, you must also hide it from yourself
The best books are those that tell you what you know already
The fruit of Heresy does not fall far from the tree
There are two sides to every argument: the right and the wrong
To err is human; to make reparations, necessary
Wisdom is wasted on the common man
Cowards die many times; the courageous but once.
A prudent Governor beats his ploughshares into swords.
One volunteer is worth twenty pressed men
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing.
Ordinary morality applies only to ordinary people
Unquestioning obedience, the chief virtue of man
Nurture your prejudice: it may save your life
Health and happiness are secondary to service
The loyal slave learns to love the lash
In His name persecute the heretic, the traitor, the alien.
He who hopes for nothing is content.
Small strokes fell great oaks.
Praise the Emperor! Your life is precisely the length you owe to the Throne.
An open mind is like a fortress with its gates unbarred and undefended.
We are what we pretend to be, so be careful what you pretend.
Expect nothing. Live frugally on surprise.
Strive to learn before you die, what you are running from, and to, and why.
Whatever happens, you will not be missed.
In fallow fields are the seeds of heresy sown.
Fight! Defy! Prevail!
Consider the flame. Its purity and light require the fuel of sacrifice.
Your opinions may change, but never the fact you are right – Inquisitorial Aphorisms
Confront your enemy. Ensure he is not you.
Be polite to all; be intimate with few.
There are neither rewards not punishments, merely consequences
Seek to be one who would not be improved by death.
All lies are told with a straight face.
The rewards of kindness soon fade. The rewards of purity ring eternal.
Prejudice is more secure than regret.
Welcome the stranger into your shelter. He will be handy if you run out of food.
Never attribute to error that which can be attributed to the Xeno
The errors of zeal trump the victories of indolence
Use the word 'Impossible' with the greatest caution
A sword is sharper than the sternest word
Rejoice! The Emperor asks for naught besides your life!
Compassion is the solace of the weak
Swear eternal hostility against every threat against the Imperium of Man.
Your life is what our thoughts make it.
He conquers who endures.
Make vengeance your shield and solace
Never retreat. Never explain.
The loyal slave learns to love the lash
Do not weep. Obey.
Nothing of worth can be achieved while dreaming of a better future.
You are never too old to start more work.
Advice for going through hell: Advance.
Self-belief is the first step on the road to Heresy. Obey!
Be strong. Be vigiliant. Behave.
Victory demands blood. Yours and your enemy's are equally fit.
Do not allow the Perfect to become the enemy of the Good
There is no substitute for zeal
Understanding is betrayal; abhor the witch!
Language corrupts thought – still your tongue.
Sainthood, without conviction, is mere lunacy.
Ignorance is Strength.
Better to snuff a candle than see what form the darkness takes.
The Emperor's gaze is terrible to endure. He asks merely for your toil.
Go on, even if you cannot endure. No man ever grieved his own death.
There will be no defeat, only victory!
There will be no retreat, only death.
There will be no tolerance, only purity.
There will be no forgiveness, only hate.
