:)

in fact, all ten of the Wizard's Rules are extremely accurate...

2. "The greatest harm can result from the best intentions."

3. "Passion rules reason, for better or for worse."

4. "There is magic in forgiveness, the magic to heal. In forgiveness
you grant, but more so, in forgiveness you receive."

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 is reason."

7. "Life is the future, not the past."

8. "Deserve victory."

9. "A contradiction cannot exist in reality. Not in part, nor in whole."

10. "Willfully turning aside from the truth is treason to one's self."
