MAN RULES:
- Have principles that you are willing to stand up for. A man who stands for nothing falls for everything.
- Forgive those who have offended you. A better revenge is to take the higher moral ground. The best revenge is to live well.
- Forgive those who have hurt you, after you see them hanging.
- Every aggression should be punished threefold: once for the act, once for the insolence, and once for deterrence.
- If you are not strong, do not fight for honor’s sake. If you are, do not fight, unless it is in defense. The best fight is the one that never happened.
- Life is the sum of choices and consequences. If you make the choice, you choose the consequence.
- Do not suffer fools gladly.
- Be kind. Everyone you meet is fighting their own battles.
- Trust is earned. Respect is commanded, not demanded.
- Do not make a threat or a promise that you do not intend on carrying out on. A man is as good as his word.
- Your word is your bond.
- Be whom you wish to seem. The substance should match the form.

- Even in matters of the heart, do not abandon your lucidity. We often become most vulnerable to those who profess their love to us.
- Love is like an orchid garden – it requires an exact set of conditions and mixture of elements or the flowers will wither away. Be a constant gardener.

- Having a peaceful home is more important than being right.
- You are the provider – don’t take her word too seriously if she tries to convince you otherwise. Have respect for feminism, but remember that it didn't cancel evolution.
