Patrick Rothfuss

There are three things all wise men fear: the sea in storm, a night with no moon, and the anger of a gentle man

for hoping is a foolish game.

“You should aim higher. A young man ought to be afire with high ambitions.”

“There are two sure ways to lose a friend, one is to borrow, the other to lend.”

Pride is a foolish thing, but it is a powerful force.

“Practice makes the master.”

A tinker’s debt is always paid:

Once for any simple trade.

Twice for freely-given aid.

Twice for freely-given aid.

Thrice for any insult made.”

Wisdom precludes boldness.”
