The oak fought the wind and was broken, the willow bent when it must and survived.

A spoonful of hope and a cup of despair

The Wheel of Time and the wheel of a man's life turn alike without pity or mercy.

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.

He is born again! I feel him! The Dragon takes his first breath on the slope of Dragonmount! He is coming! He is coming! Light help us! Light help the world! He lies in the snow and cries like the thunder! He burns like the sun!

A man falling off a cliff to certain death will stretch out a hand even to his worst enemy.

Still waters run deep. All things change until we wake. Dreams drift in the wind.
