1 " The message had been delivered. All they could do now was wait. Valden hated waiting. "

3 " Sometimes God takes us down to nothing so that He can give us all we need. Often we try to hold on to everything anyway, creating idols that mean more to us than God does. We don't realize that our grip is actually crushing the things we love. Our stubbornness does more damage than good. "
4 " He held out a hand, "I am Lord Bradley, noble nobody if you must know, and greatest source of annoyance to his lordship, Roland. My brother-in-law. "
5 " Bradley opened his mouth and then snapped it shut. Finally he chuckled, "I find myself with so many arguments and witty replies begging to be used in response to your statement, that I simply cannot choose which would serve my purpose best. Therefore, I'll use none of them and instead ask how you came to be pinned beneath the rubble of thirty bent on your destruction. "
6 " Bradley shook his head in amusement, "For twins, you and your brother are nothing alike. I used to wonder what it would be like to have a twin, but now... No offense, but I'm rather glad I came by myself. "
7 " I've heard myself say that I'm quite charming and not at all a bad sort of fellow, so you can be absolutely certain it's true. "

9 " By my ridiculously feathered cap! "
10 " God's ways are not our own, but we can always trust that He is good. "
11 " It is the children who will be most malleable in your hands. Train them up in the way you would have them to go, and the next generation of Mizgalians will be the first of many to reach the state of perfection that I seek. "
12 " How utterly low. "
13 " Someday our children will all play together. Yours will teach their cousins to be polite and gracious, and mine will teach yours to roll in the dirt and terrify everyone with their love of unthinkable heights. "
