Bran thought about it. “Can a man still be brave if he's afraid?” “That is the only time a man can be brave,” his father told him. George R.R. Martin	added by Normando 5 years ago
A lion doesn’t concern himself with the opinions of a sheep. George R.R. Martin	added by Normando 5 years ago

You're Ned Stark's bastard, aren't you?” Jon felt a coldness pass right through him. He pressed his lips together and said nothing. “Did I offend you?” Lannister said. “Sorry. Dwarfs don't have to be tactful. Generations of capering fools in motley have won me the right to dress badly and say any damn thing that comes into my head.” He grinned. “You are the bastard, though.” “Lord Eddard Stark is my father,” Jon admitted stiffly. Lannister studied his face. “Yes,“ he said. “I can see it. You have more of the north in you than your brothers.” “Half brothers,“ Jon corrected. He was pleased by the dwarf's comment, but he tried not to let it show. “Let me give you some counsel, bastard,” Lannister said. “Never forget what you are, for surely the world will not. Make it your strength. Then it can never be your weakness. Armor yourself in it, and it will never be used to hurt you.” Jon was in no mood for anyone's counsel. “What do you know about being a bastard?“ “All dwarfs are bastards in their father's eyes.” “You are your mother's trueborn son of Lannister.“ “Am I?“ the dwarf replied, sardonic. “Do tell my lord father. My mother died birthing me, and he's never been sure.“ “I don't even know who my mother was,“ Jon said. “Some woman, no doubt. Most of them are.“ He favored Jon with a rueful grin. “Remember this, boy. All dwarfs may be bastards, yet not all bastards need be dwarfs.“ And with that he turned and sauntered back into the feast, whistling a tune. When he opened the door, the light from within threw his shadow clear across the yard, and for just a moment Tyrion Lannister stood tall as a king. George R.R. Martin	added by Normando 5 years ago
Those are brave men,” he told Ser Balon in admiration. “Let's go kill them.” George R.R. Martin	added by Normando 5 years ago
My brother has his sword, King Robert has his warhammer and I have my mind...and a mind needs books as a sword needs a whetstone if it is to keep its edge. That's why I read so much Jon Snow. George R.R. Martin	added by Normando 5 years ago

Daario/Jorah: Can you fight? Tyrion: I have fought. I don't claim to be a great warrior. Daario/Jorah: Are you good on a horse? Tyrion: Middling. Daario/Jorah: So mainly you talk. Tyrion: And drink. I've survived so far. Game of Thrones, Season 6	added by Normando 5 years ago
Tyrion Lannister: Dragons do not do well in captivity. Missandei: How do you know this? Tyrion Lannister: That's what I do. I drink and I know things. Game of Thrones, Season 6	added by Normando 5 years ago
Your passion is waiting for your courage to catch up. Isabelle Lafleche	added by Normando 5 years ago
It is easy to think the State has a lot of different objects -- military, political, economic, and what not. But in a way things are much simpler than that. The State exists simply to promote and to protect the ordinary happiness of human beings in this life. A husband and wife chatting over a fire, a couple of friends having a game of darts in a pub, a man reading a book in his own room or digging in his own garden -- that is what the State is there for. And unless they are helping to increase and prolong and protect such moments, all the laws, parliaments, armies, courts, police, economics, etc., are simply a waste of time. C. S. Lewis	added by Normando 5 years ago
The burden of government is not measured by how much it taxes, but by how much it spends. Milton Friedman	added by Normando 5 years ago
Choose to bond instead of break-up, choose smile instead of stress and choose to cherish instead of crying. Sipho P Nkosi	added by SIPHO P NKOSI 5 years ago
Loving one and loving all leads us unto true love! Harry Jones	added by harry40087 5 years ago
In the epic battle between the brain and the heart, the heart usually wins. RJ Intindola	added by RJ Intindola 5 years ago
Relationships sometimes break like a falling vase into fifty pieces. And when you glue the vase back together, you realize it has lost the luster and pristine appearance that will never return. Now you have two choices. Keep it as it is or throw it away. RJ Intindola	added by RJ Intindola 5 years ago
Government is saying to the average citizen every January 1: 'For the next five months you’ll be working for us, for goals we shall determine. Is that clear? After May 5 you may look after your own needs and ambitions, but report back to us next January. Now move along.' ... If nearly half of what you make is spent by someone else, that means that half your work time is spent working for someone else. Call me a radical, but I think that comes dangerously close to being a form of indentured servitude. Richard Armey	added by Normando 5 years ago
The cult of the omnipotent state has millions of followers in the United States. Americans of today view their government in the same way as Christians view their God; they worship and adore the state and they render their lives and fortunes to it. Statists believe that their lives -- their very being -- are a privilege that the state has given to them. They believe that everything they do is -- and should be -- dependent on the consent of the government. Thus, statists support such devices as income taxation, licensing laws, regulations, passports, trade restrictions, and the like. Jacob Hornberger	added by Normando 5 years ago
It is wrong to take half or more of what people earn; wrong to force some people to pay for the support of others, threatening them with jail if they refuse (are in “noncompliance”). Tom Bethel	added by Normando 5 years ago
If I have worked harder and built myself a good house while you have been content to live in a hovel, the tax gatherer now comes annually to make me pay a penalty for my energy and industry by taxing me more than you. If I have saved while you wasted, I am [taxed] while you are exempt. If a man built a ship, we make him pay for his temerity as though he had done injury to the state; if a railroad be opened, down comes the tax collector upon it as though were a public nuisance.... We punish with a tax the man who covers barren fields with ripening grain; we fine him who puts up machinery and him who drains a swamp. To abolish these taxes would be to lift the whole enormous weight of taxation from productive industry.... The state would say to the producer, 'Be as industrious, as thrifty, as enterprising as you choose. You shall have your full reward! Henry George	added by Normando 5 years ago
