Rules to live by

1. Thou art miraculous: so are we all.

2. He who spits upon his good right hand shall find the left one fails him in time of need.

3. Each gold coin yeilds two like it: Each stalk given creates a bundle. Yet, each coin taken turns the rest to dross. And one bundle gone creates a famine. Thus shall a seer account his deeds.

4. Some minds rest best Asleep. Stir not those who would not awaken otherwise.

5. Truths forseen are not always truths.

6. If a man (or a woman) would rend another’s passions, let him be as one torn by wild dogs. For passions are the seat of the self, and they bleed. So too does the soul.

7. Let each seer account his own deeds. And if those deeds should want for wisdom or kindness, let him be put forth to weep alone.

8. Humor cooleth blood; wrath spilleth it.

9. Even trees rent by lightning may grow new fruit.

10. A fool feels no fear, a sleeper remains shackled by it, a master transcends it; yet recalls its wisdom. It is good to be afraid, it is folly to bow to terror.
