Fool's Errand (Tawny Man, #1)

by Robin Hobb

Silence can ask all the questions, where the tongue is prone to ask only the wrong one.

“It doesn’t matter who a man’s father is. Your parents made a child, but it’s up to you to make the man you’ll be.”

Stop longing. You poison today’s ease, reaching always for tomorrow.

“When you cut pieces from the truth to avoid sounding like a fool, you end up sounding like a moron instead.”
