 Full of twists and turns, the Game of Thrones is an exemplar of an entrepreneur’s life. We are surrounded by people with different personalities and we sometimes don’t know if they are allies or enemies. We are confronted with very difficult situations and a simple wrong decision is enough to break us. We face our battles and sometimes there is no one to cling to but our own selves.

From Tyrion to Lord Varys to Petyr “Littlefinger’ Baelish, I’ve listed some of the notable quotes on business and entrepreneurship we can ponder on:

1. "Let me give you some advice, bastard. Never forget what you are. The rest of the world will not. Wear it like armor, and it can never be used to hurt you." -Tyrion Lannister

2. "Power resides where men believe it resides. It's a trick. A shadow on the wall. And a very small man can cast a very large shadow." - Lord Varys

3. "Chaos isn't a pit. Chaos is a ladder. Many who try to climb it fail, and never get to try again. The fall breaks them. And some are given a chance to climb; they cling to the real or the gods or love. Only the ladder is real. The climb is all there is." - Petyr "Littlefinger" Baelish

4. "A mind needs books like a sword needs a whetstone. That's why I read so much.” - Tyrion Lannister

5. "There is only one god and his name is Death, and there is only one thing we say to Death: 'Not today.'" - Syrio Forel

6. “A Lannister always pays his debts.” - Lannister House

7. “Don’t be so sure. Safety is never a permanent state of affairs.” - Davos Seaworth

8. “The brave men did not kill dragons. The brave men rode them.”  - Daenerys Targaryen

9. “The storms come and go, the waves crash overhead, the big fish eat the little fish, and I keep on paddling.” - Lord Varys

10. “People often claim to hunger for truth, but seldom like the taste when it’s served up.” - Tyrion Lannister

11. “Each bruise is a lesson. Each Lesson makes us better.”  - Syrio Forel.

12. “When you play the Game of Thrones, there is no middle-ground. You either win or you die.” - Cersei Lannister
