"It's - the saying out of dath ilan goes - don't be swift to throw away your deontology.  Don't rush to break the Light, shatter the alignment of - all the different ways that something can be Good, all lined up on the same side.  They can't always be aligned, but while they can be, you keep them together."

"You don't always wait until the last minute to kill.  You don't always wait literally as long as possible.  But wiping out Cheliax early, so that, you think, my mind will be more focused on long-term planning - that is not reason enough.  You can't be that eager.  You don't, go looking for, plans that make you do something like that, and then go, oh, well, that's what the expected utility numbers say, better go do that then."
