Wisdom Quote by George R.R. Martin — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“You are your mother's trueborn son of Lannister.”

“You ought to be blowing me kisses, wench.”

“The man who passes the sentence should swing the sword.”

“...How would you like to die, Tyrion son of Tywin?”

“Half-truths are worth more than outright lies.”

“Tyrion let the eunuch help him mount. "Lord Varys," he said from the saddle, "sometimes I feel as though you are the best friend I have in King's Landing and sometimes I feel you are my worst enemy.”

“Accept the past as the past and realize that each new day you are a new person who doesn’t need to carry old baggage into the new day with you. It’s amazing how many people ruin the beauty of today with the sorrows of yesterday. Yesterday doesn’t exist anymore! For example, if ever I feel foolish or guilty about something I’ve done, I learn from it and attempt to do better the next time. Shame or guilt serves no one. Such feelings actually keep us down, often lowering the vibrations of those around us, as well. Living in the present moment is the recurring baptism of the soul, forever purifying every new day with a new you.”

“The way out of fear is not always to jump. Sometimes, the way out is to take one honest action. Then another. Then another.”

“I look back now and realize that the gift of a true friend is that she sees you not the way you see yourself or the way others see you. A true friend sees you for who you are and who you can become.”

“We spend January 1st walking through our lives, room by room, drawing up a list of work to be done, cracks to be patched. Maybe this year, to balance the list, we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives...not looking for flaws, but for potential.”

“If believing were simple, then this world wouldn’t be in the mess that it is today.”
