Quotes from Ranger's Apprentice 1: The Ruins of Gorlan
- ‘Strange, he thought, how seldom people tend to look up.’
- ‘Once you best a man, never gloat. Be generous and find something in his action to praise. He won’t enjoy being bested, but he’ll make a good face of it. Show him you appreciate it. Praise can win you a friend. Gloating will only ever make enemies.’
- ‘Halt, Halt!’
Quotes from Ranger's Apprentice 2: The Burning Bridge
- ‘Does this castle have a moat?’
- ‘Sarcasm isn’t the lowest form of wit. It’s not even wit at all.’
Quotes from Ranger's Apprentice 6: The Siege of Macindaw
- ‘Can I ask you a question?’ ‘I think you just did’
- ‘Good night, son.’
Quotes from Ranger's Apprentice 7: Erak’s Ransom
- ‘If you wait until you think you are ready, you’ll wait your whole life.’
- ‘One riot, one ranger.’
- ‘We never stop learning, none of us.’
Quotes from Ranger's Apprentice 8: The Kings of Clonmel
- ‘An ordinary archer practices until he gets it right. A ranger practices until he never gets it wrong.’
Quotes from Ranger's Apprentice 10: The Emperor of Nihon-Ja
- ‘Now for God's sake, will you two start behaving like a princess and a Courier?’ Halt told them. ‘If you don't, I'll have to think about sending Will home.'
'Me?' Will said, his voice breaking into a high-pitched squeak of indignation. 'What's it got to do with me?'
