Wizard's First Rule
Quotes from the Book
Wizard's Fourth Rule There is magic in sincere forgiveness; in the forgiveness you give, but more so in the forgiveness you receive.
Intent is guilt. Failure to successfully carry out the intent does not absolve the guilt.
It is said that the greatest cruelty is drawn from those with the kindest hearts.
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.
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.
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.
He is taming chipmunks.” – Cara
He is teaching them to eat those seeds,” she said through clenched teeth, “out of Raina and Berdine’s hands. The two of them were giggling.” – Cara
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
We all make mistakes. The people who love us forgive the mistakes. The people who won't forgive don't really matter
The cannon of the spirits says that intent is guilt. Failure to successfully carryout the intent does not absolve the guilt. ~ Cara Mordsith
If you regain your senses, come see me, I will teach you how.” - Cara
The time for desperation is upon us. Let’s play.” - Zedd
There is more to being in love than just jumping into bed, you know. Like just being close, in one another's arms.
