trying use existence
My dear, did you just try to prove the existence of God through the use of your cleavage?
gun government trying
I froze, shocked. (And don't try to clam that you did anything different the first time a government bureaucrat pulled a gun on you.)
book understanding trying
When I do research, I cast my net very widely and then snatch what feels right out of that. Occasionally I'll read a specific book for a specific book, but usually I'm trying to increase my general understanding.
trying doe cobblestone
Galladon paused for a moment, then laughed. "Does nothing frighten you, sule?" "Actually, pretty much everything here does—I'm just good at ignoring the fact that I'm terrified. If I ever realize how scared I am, you'll probably find me trying to hide under those cobblestones over there.

You should try not to talk so much, friend. You'll sound far less stupid that way. - Breeze

But you can't kill me, Lord Tyrant. I represent that one thing you've never been able to kill, no matter how hard you try. I am hope.

trying firsts get-up
Never throw the first punch. If you have to throw the second, try to make sure they don't get up for a third.
book tired trying
I try to avoid having thoughts. They lead to other thoughts, and—if you’re not careful—those lead to actions. Actions make you tired. I have this on rather good authority from someone who once read it in a book.
doe capable
Strength does not make one capable of rule; it makes one capable of service.
prayer believe said
You said their prayer - is this the religion you believe in, then?" "I believe in them all." Vin frowned. "None of them contradict each other?" Sazed smiled. "Oh, often and frequently they do. But, I respect the truths behind them all.
knowing people als
Being in charge isn't always about telling people what to do. Sometimes, it's about knowing when to step out of the way of people who know what they're doing. - Tam al'Thor
