When we speak of the morrow nothing is ever certain.
George R. R. Martin
A fair bargain leaves both sides unhappy.
George R. R. Martin
The cable makers are the ones who are willing to take risks and do something original and push the envelope some.

A Lannister always pays his debts.
George R. R. Martin
Some gave me soft words and some blunt, some made excuses, some promises, some only lied. In the end words are just wind.
