Family mottoes, touchstones, prayers of sorts, they boasted of honor and glory, promised loyalty and truth, swore faith and courage. The words gave her a chill, as they always did.A ruler who hides behind paid executioners soon forgets what death is.And if you cannot bear to do that, then perhaps the man does not deserve to die. If you would take a man's life, you owe it to him to look into his eyes and hear his final words.'That is the only time a man can be brave.' 'Can a man still be brave if heвЂ™s afraid?'.The morning had dawned clear and cold, with a crispness that hinted at the end of summer.вЂњWe should start back,вЂќ Gared urged as the woods began to grow dark around them.Said by The Sorrowful Men right before an assassination.What is dead may never die, but rises again harder and stronger.A line in the song 'The Rains of Castamere.' (A song written about the destruction of House Tarbeck and House Reyne brought about by Lord Tywin Lannister.).'And mine are long and sharp, my lord, as long and sharp as yours. In a coat of gold or a coat of red a lion still has claws.Often said by worshippers of The Lord of Light.'All men must serve,' A maxim in High Valyrian.'All men must die,' A maxim in High Valyrian.I pledge my life and honor to the Night's Watch, for this night and all the nights to come. I am the fire that burns against the cold, the light that brings the dawn, the horn that wakes the sleepers, the shield that guards the realms of men. I shall take no wife, hold no lands, father no children. Night gathers, and now my watch begins.In the name of the Maid I charge you to protect all women. In the name of the Mother I charge you to defend the young and innocent. In the name of the Father I charge you to be just. In the name of the Warrior I charge you to be brave.Describing Duncan the Tall, to explain why the commoners are on his side. Steely Pate in The Hedge Knight (1998).
