My new guidelines to life... from Terry Goodkind's "Sword of Truth" series of books, simply amazing...

Wizards First Rule: People Are Stupid. People can be made to believe any lie because they want to believe it is true, or because they are afraid that it is true.

Wizards Second Rule: The greatest harm can result from the best intentions.

Wizards Third Rule: Passion Rules Reason.

Wizards Fourth Rule: There is magic in sincere forgiveness.

Wizards Fifth Rule: Mind what people do, not only what they say, for deeds will betray a lie.

Wizards Sixth Rule: The only sovereign we can allow to rule us is reason.

Wizards Seventh Rule: Life is the future, not the past

Wizards Eighth Rule: Deserve victory. Be justified in your convictions. Be completely committed. Earn what you want and need rather than waiting for others to give you what you desire.

Wizards Ninth Rule: A contradiction cannot exist in reality. Not in part, nor in whole.

Wizards Tenth Rule: Wilfully turning aside from the truth is treason to one's self.
