More quotes by Robert Jordan
The fact that the price must be paid is proof it is worth paying.
Robert Jordan
Beauty holds more worth than gold.
Robert Jordan
It is every man's right to choose when to Sheathe the Sword. --- Ingtar Shinowa ---
Robert Jordan
But men often mistake killing and revenge for justice. They seldom have the stomach for justice.
Robert Jordan
The Black Tower stands with the Lion of Andor. -Logain
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
When you saw me with a dagger in hand - as if to throw at you - you didn't call for your guards. You didn't fear I was here to kill you. You looked over your shoulder to see what I was aiming at. That's the most loving gesture I think a man could receive from a woman. Unless you'd like to sit on my knee for a while.
Robert Jordan
Come to think of it, an Aes Sedai would probably follow a man off a cliff, too, if only to explain to him - in detail - all the things he was doing incorrectly in the way he went about killing himself.
Robert Jordan
Waiting turns men into bears in a barn, and women into cats in a sack.
Robert Jordan
A flapping tongue has killed more men than sudden storms ever did.
Robert Jordan
Why, that's like being told to go up in the hills to find lions, only you do not know whether there are any lions, but if there are, they may be hunting you, and they may be disguised as bushes. Oh, and if you find any lions, try not to let them eat you before you can tell where they are. -Elayne
Robert Jordan
In wars, boy, fools kill other fools for foolish causes
Robert Jordan
Time to toss the dice
Robert Jordan
Most of those we call heroes only did what they had to do.
Robert Jordan
If you must mount the gallows, give a jest to the crowd, a coin the hangman, and make the drop with a smile on your lips.
Robert Jordan
In the Borderlands, sheepherder, if a man has the raising of a child, that child is his, and none can say different.
Robert Jordan
Pride fills me. I am sick with the pride that destroyed me.
Robert Jordan
What is too absurd to be believed is believed because it is too absurd to be a lie.
Robert Jordan
When a woman says she will obey you, of her own will, it is time to sleep lightly and watch your back.
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
