It isn't always easy to act on what's in your head instead of what's in your heart. And it isn't always right to. The whole trick to knowing what to do is deciding when to make yourself listen to your head, and when it's okay to just follow your feelings.

— Steven Brust Athyra (1993)

When there's nothing you can do except worry, that's a good time to worry.

A young man without ambition is an old man waiting to be.

The Paths of the Dead: Book One of the Viscount of Adrilankha (2003)

Why do you work so hard to make yourself disliked? I should think you'd find it happens enough on its own without putting yourself to any extra trouble.

A stupid person can make only certain, limited types of errors; the mistakes open to a clever fellow are far broader. But to the one who knows how smart he is compared to everyone else, the possibilities for true idiocy are boundless.

Iorich (2010)
