Game of Thrones [Season 1, Episode 9]

What is honor... compared to a woman's love? And what is duty... against the feel of a newborn son in your arms? Or a brother's smile?

You must make that choice yourself... and live with it for the rest of your days. As I have.

We're all human. Oh, we aII do our duty when there's no cost to it. Honor comes easy then. Yet... sooner or later... in every man's life there comes a day when it is not easy. A day when he must choose.

You grew up with actors. You learned their craft and you learnt it well. But I grew up with soldiers. I learned how to die a long time ago.

— I sent 2,000 men to their graves today.
— The bards will sing songs of their sacrifice.
— Aye. But the dead won't hear them.

When soIdiers Iack discipIine, the fault lies with their commander.

Love is the death of duty.

— When he dies, she is nothing.
— I have never been nothing.

Cersei is no fool. She knows a tame wolf is more use to her than a dead one.

Oh, we aII do our duty when there's no cost to it.
