The Eight Jolian Principles

Precept 1 : Haste will always cause misfortune; success is brought about only by long thought.

Precept 2 : Anger is always wasted; use anger only to protect.

Precept 3 : The earth is sacred, and shall not be marred; use what it gives you to prosper.

Precept 4 : You are yourself, and your neighbor, too, is himself; to you is yours, to him is his.

Precept 5 : Never take the offensive; but defend what is yours.

Precept 6 : See yourself through all angles; today you see yourself as correct, but tomorrow casts a dark light on you.

Precept 7 : Within all is the ability for good; but within all is the ability for evil: Know what you are, and know what you do.

Precept 8 : Judge not a man by his face or his voice; judge him only by what he does.

Coldorra, you should take heed the saying 'Tis better to keep your mouth shut and be thought a fool than for him to open it and be proven foolish.' If that 'public dossier' is in anyway an attempt to threaten, I'll have you know that I could cut my defence spending in half (which would make it 2.5%), and still be able to easily fund an army twice the size of yours.

Thanks, whoever you are from Imitora!

I think I and my religion will get along with you just fine.

No I post it at least once in most threads so no-one can accuse me of godmodding anything <clarification> if I am attacked </clarification>

We are always looking to show the path to others. Jolianism is a peaceful religion. Mantra 4: "The path is true. Walk along in peace."

"The inanity of your ways amuses me. 'For the stupid are to be allowed to live, though it is not within their reach to prosper.'"
10-10-2003, 16:36
well how do you expect me to react to you proclaiming something as obvious as " you are yourself" like it's some divine revelation. anyway, I'm glad you are so easily amused.
