Game of Thrones Quotes and Advice for Good Life: Season 1, Episode 1, 2, and 3

Because of its profound popularity, Game Of Thrones hardly needs any explanation. We watch it for enjoyment and thrill. But if you delve deeper, you will discover that aside from delivering delightful entertainment, the episodes infer great learning content. Dialogues have advice that is sure to benefit anyone who aims to follow it.

In this article, I will highlight a few dialogues from season one: episode one, two, and three that carry meaning, incredible to enforce in our real lives.

Quote: 'Never forget what you are, the rest of the world will not, wear it like armor, it can never be used to hurt you.'

What a marvelous point!
In the first episode of season one, Tyrion Lannister gives this counsel to Jon Snow. Tyrion deliberately uses harsh words intending resilience for Jon Snow.
Wise men give wise advice!
As Tyrion himself is a victim of mockery and faces disgust for being a dwarf, he knows, understands, and shares the pain for any defect any other person might have to face and suffer.

Everybody has weaknesses. Flaws become ostensibly vulnerable for few. The best defense is never to let innate drawbacks or any obstacle impede our goals and our right to live happily.
You as a person must be so indispensable that your caliber must overpower flaws if any.

Quote: 'A mind needs books like a sword needs a whetstone.'

In the second episode of season 1, Tyrion says this dialogue implying if he wants his image to stand out, he must be absolutely remarkable.

He is a dwarf. People mock him for that. To earn respect, he displays unmatched smartness, wisdom, and intelligence. Reading helps him achieve these qualities by making him knowledgeable and powerful.

The dialogue holds a universal truth. For anyone to become a better person, he/she needs education, awareness, counseling, and point of view of others. Reading sharpens your mind. As a result, you become fabulous.

Quote: 'Death is final, life is full of possibilities.'

In the second episode of season one,
After the fall, when Brandon Stark has been declared a cripple - but not dead, his culprit Jamie Lannister suggests death as the best option. That's when Tyrion Lannister speaks the line implying never to lose hope even if life turns sour.

The main message for us to receive is that we live once. Therefore, we must celebrate life and not waste it. When we become unfortunate by experiencing accidents and catastrophe, in the end, we can still become lucky if we fight off showing courage and optimism. Exuding despondency is as good as welcoming death. As you are alive, hope prevails. A possibility exists.

Quote: 'You served him well, when serving was safe.'

These words of Ned Stark to Jamie Lannister from episode three of season one, teach us to grasp the truthfulness, strength, and loyalty of people associating with us. It suggests to carefully trust associates.
Your fake companions assure their support and allegiance as long they find it safe to stand by you. In perilous times, they turn into backstabbers.
You cannot call a person a formidable companion without evaluating his actual support during 'thick and thin' times.

Quote: 'I was grievously sorry for your troubles. We all are praying for the prince's full recovery - A shame you didn't say a prayer for the butcher's son.'

Truth is what the rich people make it. Even petty issues of wealthy people get attention and concern. Their faults are either overlooked or ignored. Signifying that, Ned Stark retorts the above dialogue to Lord Varys in episode three of season one.

Sadly, power and money has a twisted ability to buy justice at times. In such an event, distortion of facts makes the wealthy people arrogant and brings injustice plus inequality for the poor and mediocre. Other people choose to ignore the other side of the matter. And the flatterer who is selfish will be considerate to the troubles and issues of only the wealthy people.

Ned Stark has highlighted a cruel aspect of life in a very touching and sorrowful way.

Quote: 'A good king knows when to save his strength, and when to destroy his enemies.'

Spoken by Cersei Lannister to her son Joffrey Baratheon in episode three of season one, the line tells us not to waste our strength and power in implementing measures that have mostly been planned out of rage, vengeance, and imprudence. In fact, we must wisely use our steps and save our power to use it in full force when the moment is right.
The end must be about winning, but the essence is in the correct approach.

Quote: 'War was easier than daughters.'

During the journey on the King's Road, an awful incident develops bad blood between the Lannisters and Starks. Consequently, the daughters of Ned Stark, Sansa and Arya, get furious as their father had to kill a Direwolf (the sigil and pet of house stark.) As the girls are too naive to understand the politics of the kingdom, their father finds it difficult to soothe them. Hence he utters those words to the septa in charge.

The statement is absolutely true. Raising children is such a challenging and complex task. It's the toughest duty a person can ever fulfill. Hats off to all the parents who keep trying their best.
