The Wheel of Time turns, and Ages come and pass, leaving memories that become legend. Legend fades to myth, and even myth is long forgotten when the Age that gave it birth comes again.

In wars, boy, fools kill other fools for foolish causes.

Nobody tells us how to be men. We just are.

In the Borderlands, sheepherder, if a man has the raising of a child, that child is his, and none can say different.

Soon comes the day all shall be free. Even you, and even me. Soon comes the day all shall die. Surely you, but never I.

Tonight you will eat fish. Tomorrow, you may die.

If a woman does need a hero, she needs him today, not tomorrow.

Death comes for us all. We can only choose how to face it when it comes.

There's no time for winking at the men when you're busy bailing the boat.

It seems to me that kings — and queens — can be fools when they forget what they are and act like who they are, but they’re worse when they only remember what they are and forget who.
