If you have a sword, and the Aielman has his bare hands, it is an even fight. If you're good.

You will serve the Cyrstal Throne well. It would be a shame to see you assassinated too early. I will make certain that the first I send after you are newly trained, so that you may stop them with ease." -General Galgan to Mat

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

In a cruel land, you either learned to laugh at cruelty or spent your life weeping.

As the Wheel of Time turns, places wear many names. Men wear many names, many faces. Different faces, but always the same man. Yet no one knows the Great Pattern the Wheel weaves, or even the Pattern of an Age. We can only watch, and study, and hope.

One pretty woman means fun at the dance. Two pretty women means trouble in the house. Three pretty women means run at the hills.

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