Robert Jordan

Hope is like a piece of string when you're drowning; it just isn't enough to get you out by itself.

Life is a dream from which we must wake before we can dream again.

We all make our limits, and we set them further out than we have any right.

A man without trust is a man without life.

Beauty holds more worth than gold.

Death is as light as a feather; duty as heavy as a mountain.

Hardness shatters; strength endures.

On the heights, all paths are paved with daggers.

Hammer the iron that lies on your anvil instead of daydreaming about working silver.

There are no clear paths. Only pitfalls and tripwires and darkness.

Death is lighter than a feather, duty heavier than a mountain.

The only thing sadder than a battle won is a battle lost.
