Dance with me, Death, I am ready.
Terry Goodkind
Everything is valuable under the right conditions. To a man dying of thirst, water be more precious than gold. To a drowning man, water be of little worth and great trouble.
Terry Goodkind
Think of the solution, not the problem
Terry Goodkind
The sun has already set on the days we made those choices. We must concentrate on what we can do tomorrow we can't relive yesterday.
Terry Goodkind
Everyone has an effect on others. Some people inspire others to do great things. Some take people into crime with them. Those with the gift affect those around them even more.
Terry Goodkind
Once lucky, twice confident, and thrice dead.

Cara waggled a hand over the two of them. It works better with your clothes off. Richard frowned. His voice came as a hoarse croak. What? She seemed mystified by the question. I believe you will find such things work better without clothes. She put her hands to her hips. I thought you would know at least that much.
Terry Goodkind
Every person's life is theirs by right. An individual's life can and must belong only to to himself, not to any society or community, or he is then but a slave.
Terry Goodkind
Others made you into who you were. You made yourself into what you have become.

Terry Goodkind
Nothing gained without cost is valued. Freedom has a cost, and all will bear it so all will value and preserve it.
Terry Goodkind
Richard thought a moment. I don't know, but we have to get across the pass. We're too tired to have to spend tonight fighting shadows again. We must get to the Midlands before dark. And this time, I promise I won't let go of your hand. Kahlan smiled and squeezed his hand. I won't let go of yours either.
Terry Goodkind
Reasons are the spoils of victory. When you've destroyed the enemy, then your leaders write down the reasons in books, and give moving speeches about them. If you've done your job, then there aren't any of the enemy left to dispute your leader's reasons. At least not until the next war.
Terry Goodkind
But in the end, we can’t live our lives by ‘what if’ and ‘if only.’ We can only do the best we can to the best of our ability based on what we know. That’s why the truth is so important.
Terry Goodkind
We reap a reward merely in the act of helping others. We never know how, or if, that reward will come back to us. Helping is the reward none other is needed nor better.
Terry Goodkind
I'm afraid that we all make mistakes. One of the things that defines our character is how we handle mistakes. If we lie about having made a mistake, then it can't be corrected and it festers. On the other hand, if we give up just because we made a mistake, even a big mistake, none of us would get far in life.
Terry Goodkind
Many people believe everything others say, even though what they see with their own eyes, should be enough to tell them otherwise.
Terry Goodkind
You have one Mord-Sith and one Mother Confessor, here, both in very bad moods. I would suggest you not give us an excuse to lose our temper, or we may never find it again in your lifetime. -Kahlan Amnell
