Famous Quotes & Sayings

Brandon Sanderson

I consider myself to be a man of principle. But, what man does not? Even the cutthroat, I have noticed, considers his actions "moral" after a fashion.

A person of your century: Great persons are of their time. Not all were born into a period worthy of them, and many so born failed to benefit by it.
