May your swords stay sharp.

Eragon: Thanks, again.

"May the coming years bring you great happiness."

[after Eragon states that he does not understand his training] Of course you don't. That's why I'm teaching you and not the other way around. Now stop talking, or we'll never get anywhere.

There's a reason why we're born with brains in our heads, not rocks.

Arya: Farewell Eragon, rider of dragons...my life is in your hands.

And now for the greatest adventure of all.

Wind howled through the night, carrying a scent that would change the world.

Uncle Garrow: Let no one rule your mind or body. Take special care that your thoughts remain unfettered, one may be a free man and yet be bound tighter than a slave. Give men your ear, but not your heart. Show respect for those in power, but don’t follow them blindly. Judge with logic and reason, but comment not. Consider none your superior in life. Treat all fairly or they will seek revenge. Be careful with your money. Hold fast to your beliefs and others will listen. Of the affairs of love, my only advice is to be honest. That’s your most powerful tool to unlock a heart or gain forgiveness.

"You can't argue with all the fools in the world. It's better to let them have their way, then trick them when they're not paying attention.

Durza: After her! She is the one I want!

Eragon recoiled in shock. Standing in front of him, licking off the membrane that encased it, was a dragon.
