“What's dead may never die.”

“A lord may love the men that he commands, but he cannot be a friend to them. One day he may need to sit in judgement on them, or send them forth to die.”

“Silver’s sweet and gold’s our mother, but once you’re dead they’re worth less than that last shit you take as you lie dying.”

“What is dead may never die, but rises again, stronger and harder.”

“He'll be down with the books. My old septon used to say books are dead men talking. Dead men should keep quiet is what I say. No one wants to hear a dead man's yabber.”

“If I die, I die friendless and abandoned. What choice did that leave him, but to live?”

“A hound will die for you, but never lie to you. And he'll look you straight in the face.”
