Character: Barristan Selmy

Madness and greatness are two sides of the same coin.

Even the bravest men fear death and maiming.

- When fate leads you in bed with an ugly woman, best close your eyes and get down to business. From idle it will not be pretty. Do it, and that's it.
How do you do?
Steel.

Honor commands us to meet the enemy on the battlefield, not to kill him in the womb.

The no honor in tricks, - primly declared the old man.
Less honor, but more gold - by as much as twenty thousand, smiled Lord Renly.

- It is sometimes better to answer injustice with mercy.
- I will answer injustice with justice.

I don't want to die.
- Few people want. But all have, no matter what.

A naked man feels vulnerable and less inclined to commit suicidal exploits.

Honor, not a sword makes a person a knight, ' he said. - Without honor knight - the most common killer. Better to die with honour than to live without her.

Man executed for the crime committed, not for those he might commit in the future.

For a knight of the Royal Guard battle truly never ends. The threat can be everywhere and nowhere, at any time of the day or night. Pipes are not alerted to the appearance of the enemy - vassals, servants, friends, brothers, sons, even wives can hide daggers under the cloaks and plot to kill. For a knight of the Royal Guard in the hour of battle there are ten thousand hours when he's awake, waiting silently standing in the shadows.

Short and stocky, ugly face, he seemed like a decent guy. Judicious, prudent, full of a sense of duty... but not one of those that makes a girl's heart beat faster. And Daenerys Targaryen, whatever else she may be, was still a young girl, as she called herself when she wanted to play innocent. As befits a good Queen, Danny first thought of the people - otherwise I would never have married Historom LP by excellent laboratory, but at heart still yearned for poetry, passion and laughter. "She wants fire, and Dorne sent her to the ground".
You can make a poultice of mud for fever for fever. You can plant seeds in the soil and grow crops in order to feed the children. The earth will nourish you, while the flames only cover, but fools and children and young girls always choose fire.

A man should smell like sweat, not flowers.

Will we able to fight? - she asked him.
- People can always fight, your Majesty. A better question is will we be able to win.
