Who Said Know Thyself Novels & Stories

"Yes, of course. Good decision. Maybe that would be the answer to why some strange person is coming up in front and threatening you. Much better to know rather than nothing and guesting," "What do you know about them?" "Nothing! But just like what I've said, mas mabuti na mas makilala mo ang sarili mo at kung sino ka para malaman mo kung bakit sila pilit na sumusulpot sa harapan mo," "I know myself and where I came from," "Really? Have you know all of it?" "What do you mean?"

‘Oh, really? "Excuse me, Mister Konstantinov. Hindi ko binubuhat ang sarili kong bangko! Masyado ka lang talagang halata!" Tumawa ako nang malandi. "Ikaw ha! Ngayon mo lang ulit ako nakita, pero ganyan-ganyan ka na! Dinedeny mo pa! A great philosopher once said, 'Kapag umayaw ka kay Jana, sa kama ang bagsak mo!'" Kinindatan ko siya.

Inobserhan ko nalang siya ng maigi para tignan kung ano ba talaga ang pakay niya. "Alam mo, you're actually full of mystery. You would actually be shocked when you find out more about yourself."

If you don’t know your enemy or yourself, you will forever lose a fight and will never win.” Napatingin si Seidon kay Crixus dahil sa sinabi nito.
