##1: Steel and Snow
    In a swordfight, a man’s surest defense is the swift stroke that slays his foe, not cringing behind a shield. #Thoren Smallwood
    A good threat is often more telling than a blow. #Tywin #Tyrion
    All men are fools, if truth be told, but the ones in motley are more amusing than ones with crowns. #Olenna #Sansa
    All these kings would do a deal better if they would put down their swords and listen to their mothers. #Olenna #Sansa
    One voice may speak you false, but in many there is always truth to be found. #Dany
    Not everyone who spoke you friendly was really your friend. #Arya
    Love’s not always wise, it can lead us to great folly, but we follow our hearts … wherever they take us. #Robb #Catelyn
    If a man does not use his member it grows smaller and smaller, until one day he wants to piss and cannot find it. #Tormund #Jon
    Some battles are won with swords and spears, others with quills and ravens. #Tiryon
    A coin is as dangerous as a sword in the wrong hands. #Tiryon #Cersei
    The greatest fools are ofttimes more clever than the men who laugh at them. #Tywin #Tiryon
    A man cannot sup from the beggar’s bowl all his life and stay a man. #Dany
    There is a savage beast in every man, and when you hand that man a sword or spear and send him forth to war, the beast stirs. The scent of blood is all it takes to wake him. #Jorah #Dany
    Old stories are like old friends, you have to visit them from time to time. #Old Nan #Bran
    The night is dark and full of terrors, the day bright and beautiful and full of hope. One is black, the other white. There is ice and there is fire. Hate and love. Bitter and sweet. Male and female. Pain and pleasure. Winter and summer. Evil and good. Death and life. Everywhere, opposites. #Melisandre #Davos
    No wall can keep you safe. A wall is only as strong as the men who defend it. #Eddard #Jon
    Sometimes I think everyone is just pretending to be brave, and none of us really are. Maybe pretending is how you get brave, I don’t know. #Samwell
    The singers make much of kings who die valiantly in battle, but your life is worth more than a song. #Catelyn #Robb
    Defeat is a disease, and victory is the cure. #Axell #
    By what right does the wolf judge the lion?By what right? #Jaime #Brienne
    The gods made the earth for all men t’ share. Only when the kings come with their crowns and steel swords, they claimed it was all theirs. #Ygritte #Jon
    A man can own a woman or a man can own a knife, but no man can own both. #Ygritte #Jon

    ##2: Blood and Gold
    If we leave our smells behind us when we leave a room, surely something of our souls must remain when we leave this life? #Jaime #Qyburn
    If you keep all your treasures in one purse, you only make it easier for those who would rob you. #Cately #Robb
    Kings sprout like weeds at every hand and we have sent appeals to all of them, yet none will come. They have more pressing uses for their swords, and we are far off and forgotten. #Aemon #Jon
    The young remember nothing when they see a pretty face and a nice firm pair of teats, isn’t that so? I was the same. #Walder Frey #Robb
    When your enemies defy you, you must serve them steel and fire. When they go to their knees, however, you must help them back to their feet. #Tywin #Joffery
    Any man who must say ‘I am the king’ is no true king at all. #Tywin #Joffery
    There is a long league’s worth of difference between willful and stupid. #Tyrion #Joffery
    We do not choose our destinies. Yet we must . . . we must do our duty. #Stannis #Devos
    A captain rules his ship, does he not? He must navigate treacherous waters, set his sails to catch the rising wind, know when a storm is coming and how best to weather it. This is much the same. #Maester Pylos #Devos
    A man is never so vulnerable in battle as when he flees. #Eddard #Jon
    All men must know fear. #Old Nan #Bran
    Always keep your foes confused. If they are never certain who you are or what you want, they cannot know what you are like to do next. Sometimes the best way to baffle them is to make moves that have no purpose, or even seem to work against you. #Littlefinger #Sansa
    In King’s Landing, there are two sorts of people. The players and the pieces. Every man’s a piece to start with, and every maid as well. Even some who think they are players. Everyone wants something. And when you know what a man wants you know who he is, and how to move him. #Littlefinger #Sansa
    A harp can be as dangerous as a sword, in the right hands. #Littlefinger #SansaFlies are the dead man’s revenge. Corpses breed maggots, and maggots breed flies. #Daario #Dany
