Strange, how the best moments of our lives we scarcely notice except in looking back.

What’s the difference? Fill a hundred pits with dead Northmen, congratulations, have a parade! Kill one man in the same uniform as you? A crime. A murder. Worse than despicable. Are we not all men? All blood and bone and dreams?

Have a smile for breakfast, you'll be shitting joy by lunch.

Once you've got a task to do, it's better to do it than live with the fear of it.

Good steel bends, but never breaks. Good steel stays always sharp and ready. Good steel feels no pain, no pity, and above all, no remorse

Savor the little moments, son, that's my advice. They're what life is. All the little things that happen while you're waiting for something else.

You don’t pick your family, you take what you’re given and you make the best of it.
