A man who trusts everyone is a fool and a man who trusts no one is a fool. We are all fools if we live long enough.

My mother says men are different from us. She says we want to be in love, but only with the one we want a man needs to be in love, but he will love the first woman to tie a string to his heart. - Egwene, speaking to Elayne
