"What good is magic, if you can't use it to help people?"

Altruism

"Men broke into their homes, killed their families, threatened you--and you won't let them do anything for fear you'll be hurt. That's selfish. How would you like it if I took your bow and said I cared too much about you to let you fight?"

Courage

"We build up pretty pictures of men, when we want to be in love. We hate to have them ruined."

Love

"You didn't kill him. He would have killed you, but you didn't kill him.""So? He was stupid. If I killed everyone who was stupid, I wouldn't have time to sleep."

Survival

"It's harder to heal than it is to kill."

Healing

"Without patience, magic would be undiscovered - in rushing everything, we would never hear its whisper inside."

Mindfulness
