“When you really believe that using sword can kill people,that's when you will be subject to the law of the sword,"those who use the sword will die by the sword.”

“A broken sword can be reforged. A broken sword can kill.”

“No doubt your sword is indeed a beautiful thing. It is a tribute to whoever forged it in bygone ages. There are very few such swords as this one left in the world, but remember, it is only a sword, Matthias! It contains no secret spell, nor holds within its blade any magical power. This sword is made for only one purpose, to kill. It will only be as good or evil as the one who wields it. I know that you intend to use it only for the good of your Abbey, Matthias; do so, but never allow yourself to be tempted into using it in a careless or idle way. It would inevitably cost you your life, or that of your dear ones. Martin the Warrior used the sword only for right and good. This is why it has become a symbol of power to Redwall. Knowledge is gained through wisdom, my friend. Use the sword wisely.”

“Those who lived by the sword were forced to die by it.”

“word is like a sword; you should be wise when to use it or it'll kill and ruin everything you did in your past, you're doing at this time, and you're gonna do in the future”

“I can't have swords." Key answered.No swords?"They're sharp."That's why they're good."I can't have daggers or darts. Or arrows, either."Why? Arrows are the best."They can kill people."That's the coolest part!”
