More quotes by Robert Jordan
The people seemed nearly ostentatious about minding their own business.
Robert Jordan
Belief and order give strength. Have to clear rubble before you can build.
Robert Jordan
A wise ruler takes advice, but should never be seen to take it. Let them think you know more than you do. It will not harm them, and it will help you.
Robert Jordan
You can never know everything, and part of what you know is always wrong. A portion of wisdom lies in knowing that. A portion of courage lies in going on anyway.
Robert Jordan
The leaf lives its appointed time, and does not struggle against the wind that carries it away. The leaf does no harm, and finally falls to nourish new leaves. So it should be with all men and women.
Robert Jordan
When there are fish heads and blood in the water, you don't need to see the silverpike to know they are there.
Robert Jordan
You cannot please everyone. You cannot soothe everyone.
Robert Jordan
Even fools say something worthwhile now and again. Even a blind pig finds an acorn sometimes.
Robert Jordan
In Shinear, a woman [is] safe anywhere, any time-except from Trollocs and Myrddraal, of course-and any man [will] die to see it so.
Robert Jordan
Any day you wake up, maybe you die.
Robert Jordan
Sleep well and wake, Rand al'Thor.
Robert Jordan
One pretty woman means fun at the dance. Two pretty women means trouble in the house. Three pretty women means run at the hills.
Robert Jordan
On a day of fire and blood, a tattered banner waved above Dumai's wells, bearing the ancient symbol of Aes Sedai. On a day of fire and blood and the one power, as prophecy had suggested, the unstained tower, broken, bent knee to the forgotten sign. The first nine Aes Sedai swore fealty to the Dragon Reborn, and the world was changed forever.
Robert Jordan
The road ahead of you is long, dark, and, I very much fear, bloodstained. I also very much fear that you will take us all down that road. But you must live to reach the end of it.
Robert Jordan
It's not evil, Rand. I know something evil when I smell it. This isn't evil, it's just incredibly stupid.
Robert Jordan
Sometimes six and six make a dozen, and sometimes they make a mess
Robert Jordan
You have to understand, child. Everyone wants someone in their life, someone who cares for them, someone they can care for. Even a queen.
Robert Jordan
We rode on the winds of the rising storm, We ran to the sounds of the thunder. We danced among the lightning bolts, and tore the world asunder.
Robert Jordan
Never kiss a girl whose brothers have knife scars.
Robert Jordan
If you can't hide what you are going to do, do it so everybody thinks you are a fool.
Robert Jordan
