Forgive me the large collection. From "The Book of Cataclysm" of the Church of the New Epoch, from Syndicate Wars:
A hundred elephants can wreck the outer walls of a fortress. One diseased rat can kill all those inside.
A war refugee sought the Master. He said, "You are wise and serene. Teach me to escape the horrors of this world." And the Master blinded him with fire-irons.
Bravery will take you into the most dangerous of places. Overwhelming firepower will see you safely through them.
Follow the more successful thief and steal his ideas.
He who lives in the eye of the storm is a mote in the eye of an angry god.
He who shouts loudest can only hear his own voice. Those with true knowledge listen to those with true faith. And those with closed ears never hear the swing of the reaper's blade.
"Here!" said the Master. "Build me a great tomb in this place." His apprentices did. It glittered in the sun. "Now go inside," said he. They entered. An earthquake then destroyed the tomb, burying those within. The Master smiled. "Even the faithful are not always chosen. This is called sacrifice."
In the darkest times, the true believer hones his combat skills.
Mark thine enemy, for all that separates the damned from the chosen is a dot of monochrome light, projected onto the back of a neck
Not only will all eyes be on the leaders of men, but all combat sights as well.
Poor workers blame their tools. Good workers build better tools. The best workers get their tools to do the work for them.
Remember, the meek shall inherit nothing.
The brave hide behind technology. The stupid hide from it. But the clever have technology, and hide it.
The courageous enter dark caves alone. The clever send in the courageous first. The cleverest wait behind the clever.
The people stood like corn in the high fields and listened to the Master. As the reaper's blade scythed them all, the Master fell silent. The lesson would be learned by others.
There is pleasure in stealing the souls of machines.

I left a few out, heh.
