Sometimes doing what is right means breaking a vow.
A knight who cannot defend his lady shall never earn her love.
A knight who thinks of only his own rights and needs cannot hope to protect the realm.
The true measure of a knight is not how many battles he has fought, but how he treats those beneath him.

Strength and skill alone do not make a knight. It is courage and honor that set him apart.
A knight should always strive to do what is right, even if it is not easy or popular.
