ShotokanKid Posted March 3, 2005 Author Posted March 3, 2005 KrunchyFrogg- That one sounds really good Could you explain it to everyone? I'm not sure I'm completely grasping it. I think I might understand it a little bit "What we do in life, echoes in eternity.""We must all fear evil men. But there is another kind of evil which we must fear most, and that is the indifference of good men."
Harmony Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 The motto at my Dojo reads: "Be professional, be polite, but have a plan to kill everyone in sight." "Enemies you threaten make armies. Enemies you destroy make graves.""Even though you hold a sword over my heart I will not give up."

Harmony Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 Funny you say that, I saw how several traditional tactics fail miserably against seasoned fight hungry inmates. The warden seldom made an appearance though! It falls mostly under the idea that we are always looking and preparing for combat, trying to focus and visualize staying ready in any situation. Not nearly as immature or hostile as you alluded. I too have been at it awhile (31 years) , not quite the length of your tenure, but I still respect your opinion, I enjoy several of your posts by the way. Kudos to you.

Shorin Ryuu Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 "Est Sularus oth Mithas" It means "My Honor is My Life." It's from a set of fantasy novels, but I really do try to live by that. Wow. It's been a real long time since I read those... Anyway, I've remembered another one. "If it's worth doing, it's worth doing well." My dad always said that as I was growing up. It had an impact.

Kieran-Lilith Posted March 3, 2005 Posted March 3, 2005 It occured to me about five minutes ago that I didn't say what the Wizard's rules are. That was stupid. So here they are now. 1. People are stupid. They will believe what they want to be true, or what they fear to be true. 2. The greatest harm can come from the best intentions. 3. Passion rules reason. 4. In forgiveness we grant, and more so forgiveness we receive. There is magic in forgiveness, magic to heal. 5. Mind what people do, not only what they say, for deeds will betray a lie. 6.The only sovereign you can allow to rule you is reason. 7. Life is the future, not the past. 8. Deserve Victory. 9. A contradiction cannot exist in reality. Heh, sorry for the brain lapse, I've just gotten used to saying Wizards' Rules and people knowing what I mean. He who gains a victory over other men is strong; but he who gains a victory over himself is all powerful Lao-tsu
