Dance well with a woman, and she's halfway yours.
Robert Jordan
Pride fills me. I am sick with the pride that destroyed me.
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

Robert Jordan
We are always more afraid than we wish to be, but we can always be braver than we expect.
Robert Jordan

Robert Jordan
Only a battle lost is sadder than a battle won.
Robert Jordan
Before I knew what was happening, I had a fistful of spears around my neck like a collar. I could have shaved myself with one sneeze.
Robert Jordan
Always plan for the worst, child that way, all your surprises will be pleasant ones.
Robert Jordan
A man's dreams are a maze even he cannot know.
Robert Jordan
Only a fool thinks his enemies stand still when he isn't looking, my Lord Dragon.
Robert Jordan
If your enemy offers you two targets, strike at a third.
Robert Jordan
If wishes had wings, sheep would fly.
