“There are enough cowards in the world without killing a brave creature for so little reason.”

“All little creatures are beautiful...every living thing when it first sees life is born in beauty. What they grow to be is a different matter.”

“I think that others can drive a creature to naughtiness, always accusing and blaming them. After a while it must make the creature unhappy and drive him...to be naughty, because nobody expects them to be good...”

“But the warriors true, the brave of heartWho valiently upheld the rightThey are raised on high to the velvet skyBringing light to the darkness of night”

“Armel shrugged. "I suppose so, Brother, but why do creatures have to fight?" Demple picked Mudge up and placed him on his shoulder. "Because there's always good and bad in the land, and goodbeasts have to protect their friends an' families from evil ones who want nothing but to conquer an' destroy.”

“There is no greater evil than killing. I don't care whether they call it war or justice. Life is precious.”

“Weapons may be carried by creatures who are evil, dishonest, violent or lazy. The true warrior is good, gentle and honest. His bravery comes from within himself; he learns to conquer his own fears and misdeeds.—Matthias”
