“...Wizard's Fifth Rule: Mind what people do, not only what they say, for deeds will betray a lie.”

“Wizard's First Rule: People are stupid”

“The most important rule there is, the Wizard's Sixth Rule: the only sovereign you can allow to rule you is reason.”

“The Wizard's First Rule: People are stupid; given proper motivation almost anyone will believe almost anything.”

“Wizard's Eleventh and Final RuleThe "Rule Unspoken", the "Rule Unwritten", "The rule from the beginning of time.”

“Wizard's Third RulePassion rules reason, for better or for worse.”

“The Second Rule is that the greatest harm can result from the best intentions. It sounds a paradox, but kindness and good intentions can be an insidious path to destruction. Sometimes doing what seems right is wrong, and can cause harm. The only counter to it is knowledge, wisdom, forethought, and understanding the First Rule. Even then, that is not always enough.”
