Remember that any meal can be your last. You chose to travel with us, so tonight you will eat fish. Tomorrow, you may die.
Robert Jordan
But men often mistake killing and revenge for justice. They seldom have the stomach for justice.
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
Cheer the bull, or cheer the bear cheer both, and you will be trampled and eaten.
Robert Jordan

Robert Jordan
You have made a place in my heart where I thought there was no room for anything else. You have made flowers grow where I cultivated dust and stones. Remember this, on this journey you insist on making. If you die, I will not survive you long.
Robert Jordan
Beauty holds more worth than gold.

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
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
A fool puts her hand into a hollow tree without finding out what's inside first.
Robert Jordan
If you pursue two hares, both will escape you.
