“Wizard's Third RulePassion rules reason, for better or for worse.”
“The most important rule there is, the Wizard's Sixth Rule: the only sovereign you can allow to rule you is reason.”
“Wizard's Eleventh and Final RuleThe "Rule Unspoken", the "Rule Unwritten", "The rule from the beginning of time.”
“Wizard's First Rule: People are stupid”
“No wizard has ever made himself useful by magic, or, if they've tried, they've only made matters worse. No wizard ever stopped a war or mended a fence. It's better that they stay in their marshes, out of the way of worldly folk like farmers and soldiers and merchants and kings.”
“Admit nothing - that was his first rule. Appeal to logic - second rule. Delay the inevitable - third rule.”
