By nature of definition only the coward is capable of the highest heroism

One day the enemy will cross the Great Green. They will bring war and tragedy to these eastern lands. Such is the nature of vile men. Yet we cannot live in dread of them. We cannot hide behind these high walls, our hearts trembling. For that is not life. We must accept the needs and the duties of each day, and face them one at a time.

There are times, Sember, when I could believe your mother had a secret lover. Looking at you makes me wonder if it was one of my goats.

May all your dreams but one come true, for what is life without a dream?

Men don't change. They just learn to disguise the lack of change.

There's no shame in fear. But understand this - the coward is ruled by fear, while the hero rides it like a wild stallion.

A warrior feeds his body well; he trains it; works on it. Where he lacks knowledge, he studies. But above all he must believe. He must believe in his strength of will, of purpose, of heart and soul.
