Some Rules of Terry Goodkind that I thought were useful.

1. "People are stupid. They will believe a lie because they want to believe it's true, or because they are afraid it might be true."
2. "The greatest harm can come from the best of intentions."
3. "Passion rules reason."
4. "There is magic in sincere 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 you 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."
