Robert Jordan
Only a fool thinks his enemies stand still when he isn't looking, my Lord Dragon.

Robert Jordan
A flapping tongue has killed more men than sudden storms ever did.
Robert Jordan
The only man completely at peace is a man without a navel.
Robert Jordan
Jump in a hole without looking, and there'll be a snake in it every time.
Robert Jordan
