Line 56:
** Implied to be a philosophy of his in particular and Lannisters in general.
** He does seem to have two unbreakable principles that he's cracked into the skulls of his children and the entire Seven Kingdoms: "A Lannister never breaks his word" and "A Lannister always pays his debts." Of course, he rarely needs to give his word or get into debt in the first place [[False Reassurance|(Note that those two can easily be given a more sinister spirit)]].
* [[So Proud of You]]: Thoroughly trampled upon. His children are, in descending order: Queen Regent of the Seven Kingdoms, a knight of the Kingsguard, and acting Hand of the King--not to mention his grandson is the King himself--and he's not impressed one rat's ass by any of them. In fact, he seems incredibly disappointed in the lot of them, given their collective penchant for, in his words "[[Always ChaoticExclusively Evil|madness and stupidity]]" -- and all things considered, [[Jerkass Has a Point|he's not far off with most of that]]. The only one who isn't a complete idiot is Tyrion, whom he hates anyway for being a dwarf and constantly drinking and whoring ([[Create Your Own Villain|of course, some think the two are related]]).
* [[Surrounded by Idiots]]: See above. He considers his eldest two children to be insane and stupid in their ways, and he makes it clear when he notices Arya that he considers everyone in the fortress to be the equivalent of blind cattle in terms of intellect, both for wasting good talent and for not noticing a girl dressed as a boy. The only subordinates that he seems to consider remotely competent are Tyrion and, ironically, ''Arya''.
** <ref>Tywin's first reign as Hand of the King is remembered as one of the most prosperous and peaceful in recent memory. Not impressed? He was hand to fucking Aerys II, and things only started really going downhill once Aerys got rid of him as Hand.</ref>
