Orson Scott Card
...the thing with brothers is, you're supposed to take turns being the keeper. Sometimes you get to sit down and be the brother who is kept.

Orson Scott Card
If a pig goes upon the threshing-floor, or a field, or a garden, and the owner of the meadow, or the field, or the garden smites it so that it die, he shall give it back to its owner but if he does not give it back, he becomes a thief.
Orson Scott Card

Orson Scott Card
You can't change what you don't understand.
Orson Scott Card
The dreamers always seem to think their dream is worth the price that other people will pay. They also delude themselves that they will control whatever evil they use to try to bring about their dream.
Orson Scott Card

Orson Scott Card

Orson Scott Card

Orson Scott Card
If you give orders and explain nothing, you might get obedience, but you'll get no creativity.

Explaining to your men doesn't weaken their respect for you, it proves your respect for them.
