Descent of Angels (The Horus Heresy #6)

by Mitchel Scanlon

The value of tradition is that it guides us, no matter that the real reasons may have been forgotten. Beliefs and actions that have seen us prosper in the past shall serve us well in the present and the future.

‘Tradition is a fine ideal, but not when it serves as a shackle on our future endeavours.

In my experience, civilised men don’t like their justice kept so simple. They like to complicate things.’
