You can't argue with the fools in the world. It's better to let them have their way, then trick them when they're not paying attention.

Knowledge is a destination. Truth, the journey.

Only those you trust can betray you" ~ Nathan

Admitting that you do not know something is the first step to learning.

...Wizard's Fifth Rule: Mind what people do, not only what they say, for deeds will betray a lie.

Knowledge is a weapon. I intend to be formidably armed.

Nothing gained without cost is valued. Freedom has a cost, and all will bear it so all will value and preserve it.

No army has ever marched into battle thinking that the Creator had sided with their enemy.

Once you place that crown of liar on your head, you can take it off again, but it leaves a stain for all time.

Fate does not seek our consent.

We all can be only who we are, no more, no less.

Nothing is ever easy

Charity, if you have the means, is a personal choice, but charity which is expected or compelled is simply a polite word for slavery.

When the whole world is crazy, it doesn't pay to be sane.

The sun has already set on the days we made those choices. We must concentrate on what we can do tomorrow; we can't relive yesterday.

Knowing when to fight is just as important as knowing how.

Think of the solution, not the problem

Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent." -Kahlan

The light of a new day always chases the shadows of the night away, and shows us that the shape of our fears is only the ghost of our own minds.

If you are unwilling to defend your right to your own lives, then you are merely like mice trying to argue with owls. You think their ways are wrong. They think you are dinner.

Once lucky, twice confident, and thrice dead.

Once you teach me something, it's mine to use.

Not everyone is willing to embrace liberty; liberty requires not just effort, but risk. Some people choose to delude themselves and see their chains as protective armor.

Every person's life is theirs by right. An individual's life can and must belong only to to himself, not to any society or community, or he is then but a slave.

Wizard's Sixth Rule The only sovereign you can allow to rule you is reason.

In the darkest hours we must believe in ourselves.

Wizard's Fourth Rule There is magic in sincere forgiveness; in the forgiveness you give, but more so in the forgiveness you receive.

The Wizard's First Rule: People are stupid; given proper motivation almost anyone will believe almost anything.

Deserve Victory

Reality is irrelevant; Perception is everything.

Only a fool walks into the future backwards.

History is rarely made by reasonable men.

Everything is valuable under the right conditions. To a man dying of thirst, water be more precious than gold. To a drowning man, water be of little worth and great trouble.

Right and wrong are not the product of census.

Wrong doing must be punished. If not, it will proliferate until anarchy wears the robes of tolerance and understanding.

Wizard's Seventh Rule Life is the future, not the past.

Bags, and Double Bags!" - Zedd

Wizard's Tenth Rule Willfully turning aside from the truth is treason to one's self.

We reap a reward merely in the act of helping others. We never know how, or if, that reward will come back to us. Helping is the reward; none other is needed nor better.

Wizard's Third Rule Passion rules reason, for better or for worse.

Even a foolish old woman like me knows that lazy people don't think for themselves; they only think about themselves.

Kahlan guide me. Kahlan teach me. Kahlan protect me. In your light I thrive. In your mercy I am sheltered. In your wisdom I am humbled. I live only to love you. My life is yours.

I'd rather look a fool than be right and fail to act.

Being afraid something is true is accepting the possibility. Accepting the possibility is the first step to believing.

Everybody knows it. Wizards are supposed to have beards. It's common knowledge.

There is no place so dangerous as a world without magic.

I am dead. Only vengeance can restore me! Only victory can return my life to me!

We all can be no more, or less, than who we are.

If something is wrong, it matters not if a thousand men are for it; you must still oppose it. If something is just, no amount of popular outcry should stay you from your course.

Intent is guilt. Failure to successfully carry out the intent does not absolve the guilt.
