Pass not unverified words about another, for hearsay is, in a large part, a thing of falsehoods. Be thou honest with others, and have them known that honesty is likewise expected of them. The fury of the moment plays folly with the truth; to keep one's head is a virtue. Contemplate always the consequences of thine acts upon others. Strive not to harm. When a Realm is visited or joined, one should discern quietly their practices, and abide thereby. Dignity, a gracious manner, and a good humor are much to be admired. Courage and honor endure forever. Their echoes remain when the mountains have crumbled to dust. Those who follow the Truth should be above reproach in the eyes of the world. Should you succeed in even a tiny measure then you will be well remembered for your quality and virtue This above all...to thine own self be true...
