QUOTES BY Terry Goodkind


If the road is easy, you're likely going the wrong way.

People are stupid. They will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true.

Sometimes, making the wrong choice is better than making no choice. You have the courage to go forward, that is rare. A person who stands at the fork, unable to pick, will never get anywhere.

I am who I am; no more, no less.

Love is not about what you want. It's about finding happiness for the one you love.

Wizards First Rule: People are Stupid

Nothing marks a man's character better than his attraction to intelligence.

Your life is your own. Rise up and live it.

You can't argue with the fools in the world. It's better to let them have their way, then trick them when they're not paying attention.
