More quotes by Robert Jordan
Courage to strengthen, fire to blind, music to daze, iron to bind.
Robert Jordan
There is one rule, above all others, for being a man. Whatever comes, face it on your feet.
Robert Jordan
We are always more afraid than we wish to be, but we can always be braver than we expect.
Robert Jordan
Caution once forgotten could be forgotten once too often.
Robert Jordan

Robert Jordan
Belief and order give strength. Have to clear rubble before you can build.
Robert Jordan
You trouble me so, Rand al'Thor. Light, sometimes I think the Creator made you just to trouble me.
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
If any of these women had been here instead of Nynaeve, the world would have ended.
Robert Jordan
If wishes were wings, pigs would fly.
Robert Jordan
Better to try understanding the sun than a woman.
Robert Jordan
As the Wheel of Time turns, places wear many names. Men wear many names, many faces. Different faces, but always the same man. Yet no one knows the Great Pattern the Wheel weaves, or even the Pattern of an Age. We can only watch, and study, and hope.
Robert Jordan
Often you don't know whether a woman is friend, enemy or lover until it is too late. Sometimes, she is all three.
Robert Jordan
It is the enemy you underestimate who kills you.
Robert Jordan
Yes, I'm alive, Mat said. I'm usually pretty good at staying alive. I've only failed one time that I can remember, and it hardly counts.
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
I grew up around strong women weak men were pickled and salted. The women wouldn't waste time raising a weak boy.
Robert Jordan
A gnarled old branch dulls the blade that severs a sapling.
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
Most of those we call heroes only did what they had to do.
Robert Jordan
