Some suggestions for you :
Death came for every man eventually, and seldom where or when he expected.
An honorable man protects whoever needs protecting, but children above all, and women above men.
Strangers and a gleeman, fireworks and a peddler. It was going to be the best Bel Tine ever.
Facing them (men) with knives and spears was much easier than loving them, much easier.
Anything can be a weapon, if the man or woman who holds it has the nerve and will to make it so.
Change what you can if it needs changing, but learn to live with what you can't change.
