Wizard's First Rule (from Wizard's First Rule): "People are stupid. [...] They will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true."

Wizard's Third Rule (from Blood of the Fold): "Passion rules reason."
Wizard's Fourth Rule (from Temple of the Winds): "There is magic in sincere forgiveness, the magic to heal. In forgiveness you grant, but more so, in forgiveness you receive."
Wizard's Fifth Rule (from Soul of the Fire): "Mind what people do, not only what they say, for deeds will betray a lie."
Wizard's Sixth Rule (from Faith of the Fallen): "The only sovereign you can allow to rule you is reason"
Wizard's Seventh Rule (fromThe Pillars of Creation): "Life is the future, not the past."
Wizard's Eighth Rule (from Naked Empire): "Deserve victory." (Translated from "Talga Vassternich").
