A man who wears a sword knows to hold the love of his wife and family dear, for at any time he may not see another day of it.

There was no jealousy on the part of a new spouse over the love or affection a man or woman shared with a former spouse. It was considered a blessing to have had such loves in one's life.

I want you with me, my dearest. Not just as a friend, though also as that. I want you as my wife. I want to know that we share our lives and cares, we share our health and ill, and we share our happiness and sorrow.

A father never gives up on a son, not really, no matter how poorly he behaves at times or how many stupid decisions he makes. He tries to help that son learn how to become the man he was meant to be.

You would destroy yourselves but He would be your savior.

The only reason a man should ever pick up a sword was to protect those he loved, not to willfully take the life of someone else's beloved.
