“A knife is only as good as the one who wields it.”

“One doesn't know, necessarily, when one meets the trip-action person in one's life. A good teacher, a flirt behind the dry-goods counter, a petty thief wielding a knife. Any one of a thousand chance encounters might be the chance of a lifetime. Or a deathtime.”

“The hand that wields the knife shall never wear the crown.”

“My new knight mistress is famed for wielding sharp edges: Sword, Knife and Tongue!”

“To think that because those who wield power in society wield in the end that of government, therefore it is of no use to attempt to influence the constitution of the government by acting on opinion, is to forget that opinion is itself one of the greatest active social forces. One person with a belief is a social power equal to ninety-nine who have only interests.”

“Those who do not fear the sword they wield have no right to wield a sword at all.~Shuhei Hisagi”
