“Wizard's Fourth Rule
There is magic in sincere forgiveness; in the forgiveness you give, but more so in the forgiveness you receive.”
― Terry Goodkind, quote from Temple of the Winds
“Intent is guilt. Failure to successfully carry out the intent does not absolve the guilt.”
― Terry Goodkind, quote from Temple of the Winds
“It is said that the greatest cruelty is drawn from those with the kindest hearts.”
― Terry Goodkind, quote from Temple of the Winds
“It isn't what kind of house you have that matters. This is not happiness. It's what kind of mind you have, and how you care for your fellow man -- what you can do to help others who can be helped by no one else.”
― Terry Goodkind, quote from Temple of the Winds
“Keep your vision all-inclusive, never allowing it to lock on any one thing...look everywhere at once, see nothing to the exclusion of all else---don't allow the enemy to direct your vision, or you will see what he wishes you to see. He will then come at you as you become bewildered, looking for his attack, and you will lose.
Instead, your vision must open to all there is, never settling, even when cutting. Know your enemy's moves by instinct, not waiting to see them. To dance with death meant to know the enemy's sword and its speed without waiting to see it. Dancing with death meant being one with the enemy, without looking fixedly, so that you could kill him. Dancing with death meant being committed to killing, committed with your heart and soul.”
― Terry Goodkind, quote from Temple of the Winds
“To the right person, the person who is truly born to it, duty is a form of love, through which all is possible. Duty is not always a denial of things, but an expansion of them to others. Duty is not always a chore, but is best carried out with love.”
― Terry Goodkind, quote from Temple of the Winds

― Terry Goodkind, quote from Temple of the Winds
“Richard will have my hand, but you should know as well as anyone that he will not be eating out of it –and I wouldn’t want him to.” - Kahlan”
― Terry Goodkind, quote from Temple of the Winds
“We all make mistakes.
The people who love us forgive the mistakes.
The people who won't forgive don't really matter”
― Terry Goodkind, quote from Temple of the Winds
“The cannon of the spirits says that intent is guilt. Failure to successfully carryout the intent does not absolve the guilt. ~ Cara Mordsith”

“Kacie, look at me. You can do this, trust me.” “I can’t.” I meant that literally. I couldn’t will my feet to move even if I wanted them to. “Look in my eyes. Yes, you can. You said you trusted me, now come on. Jump in puddles with me.”
― Beth Ehemann, quote from Room for You

Mistress of RomeBookQuoters 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.
