I Need No Master To Punish Me

I Cannot Prove That Gods Do Not Exist. Nor Can I Prove That The World And Everything In It Was Not Created By An Entity Or Entities In The Distant Past. But I Can Tell You That In The Millennia We Elves Have Studied Nature, We Have Never Witnessed An Instance Where The Rules That Govern The World Have Been Broken. That Is, We Have Never Seen A Miracle. Many Events Have Defied Our Ability To Explain, But We Are Convinced That We Failed Because We Are Still Woefully Ignorant About The Universe And Not Because A Deity Altered The Workings Of Nature.

Root Of A Tree, Fruit Of A Vine, Let Me Pass By This Blood Of Mine.

I've Never Been Helpless, I Just Have Powerful Enemies

Show Respect For Those In Power, But Do Not Follow Them Blindly.

Anger Has Its Place, But It Will Not Serve You Here, The Way Of The Warrior Is The Way Of Knowing. Of That Knowledge Requires You To Use Anger, Then You Use Anger, But You Cannot Wrest Forth Knowledge By Losing Your Temper.
