Alfred the Great
“I am astonished at this arrogance of yours, since through God’s authority and my own you have enjoyed the office and status of wise men, yet you have neglected the study and application of wisdom. For this reason, I command you either to relinquish immediately the offices of worldly power that you posses, or else to apply yourselves much more attentively to the pursuit of wisdom.”
Alfred the Great, Alfred the Great: Asser's Life of King Alfred and Other Contemporary Sources

“You should always plan your battles form the enemy's point of view.”

J.R.R. Tolkien
“For he was a gentle heart and a great king and kept his oaths; and he rose out of the shadows to a last fair morning.”
J.R.R. Tolkien

Bernard Cornwell
“I have often suspected that Loki, the trickster god, invented Christianity because it has his wicked stench all over it. I can imagine the gods sitting in Asgard one night, all of them bored and probably drunk, and Loki amuses them with a typical piece of his nonsense, "Let’s invent a carpenter," he suggests, "and tell the fools that he was the son of the only god, that he died and came back to life, that he cured blindness with lumps of clay, and that he walked on water!" Who would believe that nonsense? But the trouble with Loki is that he always takes his jests too far.”
Bernard Cornwell
