Heir of Novron (The Riyria Revelations, #5-6)

by Michael J. Sullivan

“The final virtue is sincerity, which is elusive at best. Nobility by birthright is clear, but what is in question here is noblesse of heart and cannot be taught or learned. It must be accepted and allowed to grow. This virtue is demonstrated through bearing, not swagger; confidence, not arrogance; kindness, not pity; belief, not patronage; authenticity, not pretension.

“Happiness comes from moving toward something. When you run away, ofttimes you bring your misery with you.”
