First, let me introduce you to yourself.
Chade in Assassin's Apprentice
Sometimes, it would be much easier to die for one's king than to give one's life for him.
Chade in Royal Assassin
Anything that must be done, can be done.
Chade in Royal Assassin
Work, the old people say, keeps a man young. But perhaps that is something old folk say just because they know they must go on working. Be off with you, Fitz. And try not to discover any more crises for me before the day is out.
Chade in The Golden Fool
The weapon we throw away today is the one at our throats tomorrow.
Chade in The Golden Fool
Sometimes, it is better to be defiantly wrong than silent. Look, boy, if you, a mere lad, can realize that either decision is wrong, so can all folk. But at least such an edict would give us a common response. It would not be as if each village were left to lick its own wounds.
Chade in Assassin's Apprentice
Never pretend we are anything but what we are. Assassins. Not merciful agents of a wise king. Political assassins dealing death for the furtherance of our monarchy. That is what we are.
Chade in Assassin's Apprentice
Time. Time is the only thing we have, when all is said and done, and yet we never have enough of it.
Chade in Fool's Fate
I've taught you quite a bit, these last few years. But hold this lesson closest and keep it always before you. If ever you make it so they don't need you, they will kill you.
Chade in Assassin's Apprentice
Most prisons are of our own making. A man makes his own freedom, too.
Chade in Assassin's Apprentice
A secret is only yours so long as you don't share it. Tell it to one person, and it's a secret no more.
Chade in Fool's Assassin
random quote
Because of the magic. Because you are more herdfolk than you know. You thought you might be a man-killer. You aren´t. You fought Joboam like you were wrestling a pregnant vaja. But for my magic, he´d have killed you. There is no murder in you.
-Kerlew in "Wolf´s Brother"
