Book: Eragon. Brisingr

... Danger is the Royal robe that the Governor is taking on his shoulders, plucking up courage to decide the fate of others.

... He who aspires to become a tribal leader or at least commander must be able to withstand longer and more intense pain than any other representative of the tribe. Otherwise the tribe will not be able to trust their leader will not be able to be sure that he is in a difficult moment will not put their interests above the interests of the tribe.

The blood - this is the most important thing! First of all, you have a responsibility towards your family, then in front of his tribe, then in front of his commander, then - before the gods above the earth and under the earth, and then in front of his ruler and his government if they do you are available.

Friends come and go, but family is permanent and eternal.

Better to let the stubborn old stump than a silly, carefree boy who was killed before the deadline.

Moderation is a wise policy, in my opinion, than fanaticism.

Well, to me it was the right thing - to become stronger or perish.

A wise man will not think about the future; he will enjoy today's life, while he has the opportunity; he will love, drink, be merry.

The riots and loss of life - a satellite of any great change.

- You always get in trouble when I'm not with you. <...>
- When you are?
- I eat the trouble before it eats you.

A man who fights for something more than only for themselves, can easily kill hundreds of enemies.

Don't worry about what you cannot change, will only get worse.

The only antidote to the ravages of violence is finding peace within your own soul. This healing is not so easy to obtain, but it is worth any effort.

The blade you should feel, as an extension of their own hands. You don't have to think what kind of motion you would like them to make; you must operate them exactly how does a white Heron with its long beak or dragon with his claws. A really good sword is the embodiment of your intention: he is doing what you want.
