More quotes by Robert Jordan
The nobles and the noble Houses maneuver for advantage. They do things they think will help them, or hurt and enemy, or both. Usually, it's all done in secrecy, or if not, they try to make it seem as if they're doing something other than what they are.

Robert Jordan

Robert Jordan
Anyone who claimed that old age had brought them patience was either lying or senile.
Robert Jordan
A cat for a hat, or a hat for a cat. But nothing for nothing.
Robert Jordan
Hammer the iron that lies on your anvil instead of daydreaming about working silver.
Robert Jordan
Sandar came to stand beside him, frowning down at the crumpled High Lord. He does not look so mighty lying there, he said wonderingly. He does not look so much greater than me.
Robert Jordan
Nobody tells us how to be men. We just are.
Robert Jordan
It is the enemy you underestimate who kills you.
Robert Jordan
Thank you, the young mother said again. Thank you. The Black Tower protects, Logain heard himself say. Always. I will send him to you to be tested when he is of age, the woman promised, holding her son. I would have him join you, if he has the talent. The talent. Not the curse. The talent.
