Sayings

"There is a saying on Gor, a saying whose origin is lost in the past of this strange planet, that one who speaks of Home Stones should stand, for matters of honor are here involved, and honor is respected in the barbaric codes of Gor."
Tarnsman of Gor, Page 27

Talena stood up. "Tonight,"she said, "let us drink wine." It was a Gorean expression, a fatalistic maxim in which the events of the morrow were cast into the laps of the Priest-Kings.
Tarnsman of Gor, page 132

But the Goreans have a saying, which came to me in the darkness, in the hall, "Do not ask the stones or the trees how to live; they cannot tell you; they do not have tongues; do not ask the wise man how to live, for, if he knows, he will know he cannot tell you; if you would learn how to live, do not ask the question; its answer is not in the question but in the answer, which is not in words; do not ask how to live, but, instead, proceed to do so."
Marauders of Gor, page 9

Too, from time to time, lightning shattered across the sky, suddenly bathing the road and countryside in flashes of wild, white light, this coupled almost momentarily, sometimes a little sooner, sometimes a little later, with a grinding and explosion of thunder. "It seems the Priest-Kings are grinding flour,"laughed a man near me.

The Goreans have a saying, "There are only two kinds of women, slaves, and slaves."
Kajira of Gor, page 137

A Gorean saying came to mind, that the free woman is a riddle, the answer to which is the collar.

I laughed. "By the Priest-Kings!" I roared, the rather blasphemous Gorean oath slipping out, somehow incongruously considering my present location and predicament. Neither Priest-King however seemed in the least disturbed by this oath which might have brought tears to the eyes of a member of the Caste of Initiates.

"Beautiful enough to be collared" is a Gorean compliment, though perhaps a rather rude one, and one that one would not be likely to hear addressed openly and to the face of a free woman. " She has legs pretty enough to be those of a slave girl" is another such compliment.

As it is said, "No one knows from where songs come."

As it is said, masters do not much interfere with the squabbles of slaves.

Proverbs

"More real than the law is the heart," said the girl, quoting a proverb of the Tahari.
Tribesmen of Gor, page 146

It is said, in a Gorean proverb, that a man, in his heart, desires freedom, and that a woman, in her belly, yearns for love. The collar, in its way, answers both needs. The man is most free, owning the slave. He may do what he wishes with her. The woman, on the other hand, being owned, is institutionally and helplessly subject, in her status as slave, to the submissions of love.
Slave Girl of Gor, page 180

"The sword must drink until its thirst is satisfied," said Callimachus. It was a Gorean proverb.
Guardsman of Gor, page 17

Guardsman of Gor, page 50

"Scavengers come to feast on the bodies of wounded tarnsmen." It was a Gorean proverb.
Tarnsman of Gor, page 116

There is a Gorean proverb that a man who is returning to his city is not to be detained.
