When Whitecloaks give a gift, search for the poisoned needle in it. Men are too blind to see what a stone could see, and too stubborn to be trusted to think for themselves. To anger an Aes Sedai is to put one's head in a hornet's nest. Should and would build no bridges. To anger the Ogier and pull the mountains down on your head.
Smooth words make smooth companions.
Borrow trouble, and you repay tenfold. Believe nothing you hear, and only half of what you see. A spoonful of hope, and a cup of despair. Not thinking about a thorn doesn't make it hurt your feet less. A fool puts her hand into a hollow tree without finding out what's inside first.
