What was the point of worshipping a god if he did not help you?
We must leave our children to fate.
The preachers tell us that pride is a great sin, but the preachers are wrong. Pride makes a man, it drives him, it is the shield wall around his reputation and the Danes understood that. Men die, they said, but reputation does not die.
Start your killers young, before their consciences are grown. Start them young and they will be lethal.
If a man loses his lord’s trust then he has lost everything.
You’re the son of a king and one day you might be a king yourself. Life and death will be your gifts, so learn how to give them, boy.
You should beware of men who take their orders from the gods.
You should always plan your battles from the enemy’s point of view.
You can’t live somewhere, if the people don’t want you to be there.
You can change a man’s heart, but not his head.
Wyrd bið ful āræd. Fate is inexorable. We are given power and we lose it.
Wyrd bið ful āræd. Fate is inexorable. A man who rules by fear cannot afford a single setback.
