In each of Terry Goodkind's books about the Sword of Truth, one of the Wizard's Rules is explained to one of the main character (Richard Rahl), so that he one day can become a good and worthy wizard (and ruler)
Here's a list of all the Wizard's Rules:
Wizard's First Rule:
"People are stupid."
Wizard's Second Rule:
"The greatest harm can result from the best intentions."
Wizard's Third Rule:
"Passion rules reason."
Wizard's Fourth Rule:
"There is magic in forgiveness. In forgiveness you grant, and more so in the forgiveness you recieve."
Wizard's Fifth Rule:
"Mind what people do, not only what they say, for deeds will betray a lie."
Wizard's Sixth Rule:
"The only sovereign you can allow to rule you is reason." |
