Reality and Fiction
I often put wise words in the mouths of dragons. Maybe because it sounds less preachy, but in any case, I tend to think of the smartest dragons as being a combo of all the people I admire for their wisdom and defense of human rights. None are flawless, all are real, rounded people, with lapses, gaps, and even flaws, a good reason not to quote them too often. However, their words and actions for one reason or another speaks loudly for the cause of humanity and the rights that humans should be granted on their own planet.

Dragons feel strongly about the right of every dragon to choose to leave a clan, to feed themselves, to self reflect and discover their own talents, develop their strengths, and make use of their talents. They each can build their nest, defend their nest, and provide for themselves. They extend those same rights to humans when they finally see them as people. What wise words need to be spoken? That is often a question I ask that sends me researching what words wise men have said. If you have suggestions, I am always ready to look at wise words. As I said, I seldom quote, but I often use them for inspiration.
