“Three things never anger or you'll not live for long;
A wolf with cubs,
A man with power, And a woman's sense of wrong.”
― Mercedes Lackey, quote from By the Sword
“Three things trust and cherish well-
The horse on which you ride,
The beast that guards and watches,
And your shield-mate at your side.”
― Mercedes Lackey, quote from By the Sword
“Of three things be wary-
of a feather on a cat,
The shepherd eating mutton,
And a guardsman that is fat. ”
― Mercedes Lackey, quote from By the Sword
“Three things never trust in-
The maiden sworn as pure,
The vows a king has given,
And an ambush that is sure.”
― Mercedes Lackey, quote from By the Sword
“Three things see no end-
A flower blighted ere it bloomed,
A message that was wasted,
And a journey that was doomed.”
― Mercedes Lackey, quote from By the Sword
“Three things know a secret-
First; the lady in a dream,
The dog that barks no warning,
And a maid that does not scream.”
― Mercedes Lackey, quote from By the Sword
“That’s how you tell a merc is dead; he just stops collecting paychecks.”
― Mercedes Lackey, quote from By the Sword

BookQuoters is a community of passionate readers who enjoy sharing the most meaningful, memorable and interesting quotes from great books. As the world communicates more and more via texts, memes and sound bytes, short but profound quotes from books have become more relevant and important. For some of us a quote becomes a mantra, a goal or a philosophy by which we live. For all of us, quotes are a great way to remember a book and to carry with us the author’s best ideas.
We thoughtfully gather quotes from our favorite books, both classic and current, and choose the ones that are most thought-provoking. Each quote represents a book that is interesting, well written and has potential to enhance the reader’s life. We also accept submissions from our visitors and will select the quotes we feel are most appealing to the BookQuoters community.
Founded in 2023, BookQuoters has quickly become a large and vibrant community of people who share an affinity for books. Books are seen by some as a throwback to a previous world; conversely, gleaning the main ideas of a book via a quote or a quick summary is typical of the Information Age but is a habit disdained by some diehard readers. We feel that we have the best of both worlds at BookQuoters; we read books cover-to-cover but offer you some of the highlights. We hope you’ll join us.
