“Men rarely see their own actions as unjustified.”

“A man can only lead when others accept him as their leader, and he has only as much authority as his subjects give to him. All of the brilliant ideas in the world cannot save your kingdom if no one will listen to them.”

“If you give up what you want most for what you think you should want more, you'll end up miserable.”

“Unknowing ignorance is preferable to informed stupidity.”

“… A man can only stumble for so long before he either falls or stands up straight.”

“Why hasn't anyone killed him yet?”
“Dumb luck,” Wit said. “In that I’m lucky you’re all so dumb.”

“It was amazing how many books one could fit into a room, assuming one didn't want to move around very much.”

“Never throw the first punch. If you have to throw the second, try to make sure they don't get up for a third.”

“Belief?"
"Yes," Sazed said. "Tell me, Mistress. What is it that you believe?"
Vin frowned. "What kind of question is that?"
"The most important kind, I think.”

“Somehow, we'll find it. The balance between whom we wish to be and whom we need to be. But for now, we simply have to be satisfied with who we are.”

“In the end, all men die. How you lived will be far more important to the Almighty than what you accomplished.”

“Somebody has to start. Somebody has to step forward and do what is right, because it is right.”

“The mark of a great man is one who knows when to set aside the important things in order to accomplish the vital ones.”

“This is going to take a while. I'm a fantasy author. We have trouble with the concept of brevity.”

“Every man is a hero in his own story, Princess.”

“Ah, the outdoors,' Shallan said. 'I visited that mythical place once.”

“We follow the codes not because they bring gain, but because we loathe the people we would otherwise become.”

“? Is that boy crazy?"
"Most young men his age are somewhat crazy, I think," Sazed said with a smile. "However, this is hardly unexpected. Haven't you noticed how he stares at you when you enter a room?"
"I thought he was just creepy.”

“Remember, the past need not become our future as well.”

“I ain't grouchy,” Teft snapped. “I just have a low threshold for stupidity.”

“A man was defined not by his flaws, but by how he overcame them.”

“The only time you seem honest is when you’re insulting someone!”
“The only honest things I can say to you are insults.”

“Personally, I say, "Out of the frying pan and into the deadly pit filled with sharks who are wielding chainsaws with killer kittens stapled to them." However, that one's having a rough time catching on.”

“The right belief is like a good cloak, I think. If it fits you well, it keeps you warm and safe. The wrong fit however, can suffocate.”

“Lately, I feel like my life is a book written in a language I don't know how to read.”

“I'm convinced that responsibility is some kind of psychological disease.”

“That hat looks ridiculous.”
“Fortunately, I can change hats,” Wayne said, “while you, sir, are stuck with that face.”

“You sent him to the sky to die, assassin," Kaladin said, Stormlight puffing from his lips, "but the sky and the winds are mine. I claim them, as I now claim your life.”

“As I fear not a child with a weapon he cannot lift, I will never fear the mind of a man who does not think.”
