‘I learned at my father’s knee that a man is judged not by his words or by his principles, or even by his wit. He is judged by his actions.‘
– Owen Odell, Morningstar

‘I have found in my life that there are few actions which are unforgivable. And there are no words said that carry such a penalty.’
– Vintar, to Rek, Legend
‘Do not make the mistake of judging a man’s physical courage, or his skills, by the work he is forced to do. I knew a doctor once who could put an arrow through a gold ring at forty paces. And a street cleaner in Drenan who once held off twenty Sathuli warriors, killing three, before he carried his injured officer back to camp. Judge a man by his actions, not his occupation.’
– Angel, to Miriel, Waylander II: In the Realm of the Wolf
