More quotes by David Eddings
You're a cynic, Urgit accused. Silk shook his head. No, Your Majesty. I'm a realist.
David Eddings
Now's the time to be alive - to see it all happen, to be a part of it. That makes the blood race, and each breath is an adventure.
David Eddings
I wrote a novel for my degree, and I'm very happy I didn't submit that to a publisher. I sympathize with my professors who had to read it.
David Eddings
Events are like horses. Sometimes they run away. After they've run for a while, though, they'll start to walk again. Then there'll be a time to put everything together.
David Eddings
Ce'Nedra returned, frowning and a little angry. They won't give me their eggs, Lady Polgara, she complained. They're sitting one them. You have to reach under them and take the eggs, dear. Won't that make them angry? Are you afraid of a chicken?

David Eddings

David Eddings
I've looked at the world for quite a few years now and I've found that if I don't laugh, I'll probably end up crying. - Prince Kheldar of Drasnia
David Eddings
You'll drive yourself crazy if you start trying to pry the meaning out of every gust of wind or rain squall. I'm not denying that there might actually be a few signs that you won't want to miss. Knowing the difference is the tricky part.
David Eddings
No day in which you learn something is a complete loss.
David Eddings
...it's as empty as a merchant's soul. Sorry, Kheldar, it's just an old expression. That's all right, Beldin, Silk forgave him grandly. These little slips of the tongue are common in the very elderly.
David Eddings
Everything is idiocy if you choose to look at it in the proper perspective.
David Eddings
Impatience is a poor substitute for a well-considered plan.
David Eddings
The one of us who lies the best will get the better of the bargain. It's a game. A very exciting game that's played all over the world. Good players got rich, and bad players don't.
David Eddings
It's the nature of man to ask questions. --Belgarath
David Eddings
The dullest man in the world is charming beyond belief when he's pouring gold coins from one hand to the other.
